Pets Need a Vacation too!
Hello and welcome to our Rover page! My name is Katie, and my husband Matt and I are a pet-loving family with two daughters, Autumn (11) and Keiley (8), who absolutely adore animals and are gentle, respectful, and experienced around dogs. I grew up with dogs and cats my entire life, and over the past 13 years of marriage, Matt and I raised two amazing dogs, Bella and Jack. They were truly our first babies and meant the world to us. After losing them due to age and health, we realized we’re not quite ready to start over with a new dog of our own. Instead, we’ve found so much joy in opening our home to care for other families’ dogs while they travel. This journey began during a time of transition for our family, and while it has helped us financially, the truth is—we do this because we genuinely love dogs. Every pup that comes into our home is treated like a member of the family, with plenty of love, attention, belly rubs, and cuddles. We don’t offer anything less than that. We provide everything your dog may need during their stay, including crates, dog gates, beds, bowls, and treats. Dogs enjoy outdoor time on a leash or lead (we do not have a fenced yard), as well as regular walks and playtime. Three days a week, either Matt or I are home full-time, ensuring your pup has plenty of companionship and minimal alone time. We currently host a maximum of two dogs at a time to ensure each one receives the attention they deserve. In the rare case of a double booking, we always communicate with both families beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable. We also offer doggy daycare on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. We’ve been lucky to meet so many wonderful families and pups, and we would love the opportunity to meet you and yours next. Please feel free to reach out—we can’t wait to welcome your dog into our home!

Ratings and reviews
What a pleasure it was meeting Katie and working with her. On a last minute booking she was easy to work with and took care of our furbaby as if Nugget was her own. I Highly suggest you book her! You won't regret it!
Our dog had a great stay with Katie, as always!
Katie was so wonderful to work with. She sent us updates and helped my pups adjust to their new surroundings. I would highly recommend her!
Bodhi has stayed with Katie and her family multiple times. And every time they take such wonderful loving care of him. Thank you, Katie!
Katie and family took great care of Max
Katie took exceptional care of our golden retriever. She gave updates on how he was doing throughout the stay and asked great questions about how she could make him feel right at home. Excellent communication but most importantly a great family that treated our dog like their own. 5 stars!! Highly recommend!!
