A pups very own vacation location
Pet care experience
AT THIS TIME WE ARE NOT DOING MEET AND GREETS AND WE ARE NOT ALLOWING PEOPLE INTO OUR HOME. We are offering a free 4 hour eval day instead and doing all picking up/dropping off outside while maintaining as much social distancing as possible. I have 22 years of hands on experience training dogs. I have worked and managed 5 kennels and by far love the feel and relaxed nature of in home care where pets get more 1on1 time. Their vacation should be just as relaxing and stimulating as yours! I watch any size and breed as long as they are happy and social with dogs ranging 5lbs to 100lbs. We are picky about what dogs we allow to join our pack family. We typically have 15 dogs a day and most dogs find their best friend and clicks. We do have dogs that LOVE high energy ball play, chase, tug and others that perfer to lay in the sun and get cuddles. Having 2 acres of property their is plenty of room in our spacious yards for dogs to never feel crowded or overwhelmed. My fiance and I are truly dog lovers and that is what your pet gets with us here. Lots of love, attention and play time! We are here full time loving, playing and training dogs. I do NOT professional train dogs for clients anymore with my autoimmune disorder has progressed, BUT the pups in our program still get training everyday free of charge to fit into our house, home and basic household manners while they are with us. Dogs are part of our family and treated as such. Only puppies, not potty trained, destructive or aggressive (food) dogs are kenneled. We have large 5x5 stand up kennels of needed for such. Otherwise we spend most of our day rotating outside our large back yard and inside hanging out in our main living space snuggle on the couch or snoozing on a dog bed. Our backyard is at min. Double fenced before a dog would actually get to a main road. Most of our fencing is also buried underground. We also have security cameras throughout the entire inside and outside of our home. We have a large 4 ft high steel gate around our front door to prevent any bolting out doors as well as a time out zone. We can assure you that every dog that stays with us is cared for like our own! My full-time job is caring for the pups in our care. My fiance Pat is a web developer and works from home. Most of the seniors hang out with him in his office during the day. We treat all pups that stay with us like our own. We are very safety conscious with multiple safe cases to prevent any dogs from getting out with double fencing, under ground no dig fencing 1 foot deep and gates around our front door.
Reviews
We reached out to Katie on short notice to take care of our little fur baby. Katie was quick to reply, reassure, and take on the care... even when it was Easter weekend and she had other things going on. Arrival, drop off, and pick up were super easy. We received photos during Madi's stay, and let me tell you, when we brought her back home, she slept for what felt like 17 hours straight. Even words like "treat" and "walkies" didnt get her up and moving from the blast she must have had! Big big thanks Katie and family :)
While I feel my dog was safe, they are playing games with the billing by adding another unjustified night. I actually picked my dog up earlier than the original booked time. Not responding to texts and apparently blocking on Rover. Kinda shady.
Another great stay with Katie! Luna and Xena get so excited when we tell them they are going to “Auntie Katie’s”! They take wonderful care of our girls and send daily pics and videos. They are so knowledgeable and caring, we don’t like to leave the girls with anyone else! Highly recommend!! Thanks again!!
My dog had the best time with Katie! She constantly sent pictures and videos of our boy having a blast with the other dogs! I didn’t feel the need to worry about him and knew he was in great hands!

Dogs are not kenneled unless they are destructive or not potty trained. We have multiple 4 foot high gates in our home that seperates dogs into areas to eat and sleep if group sleeping isn't for them.

Information Katie & Patrick W. would like to know about your pet
Any breed is welcome, I need to know they are up to date on vaccines, flea and tick control, if they are dog friendly or have any behavioral issues. We are happy to work with dogs who have some fears or reactivity. We just ask people be upfront so we can help make sure their pet gets the BEST experince possible!
A typical day
We LOVE high energy dogs! We play until everyone is exhausted from fetching, tug, wrestling and chase matches. We have larger play groups and everyone easily finds their buddy!

Availability
We are home full time to be able to offer constant potty and play time outside. Inside we work on household manners and no heavy playtime is allowed. We have dramatically stopped walks and drop ins so at all times someone is home with the pups here.
