Your pup will want to stay forever!

Pet care experience

I am a stay at home mom with three children who LOVE dogs. We provide a safe, comforting environment for any pup that stays with us. We love a couch potato who wants to snuggle up with the family after a day of playing in the backyard. We have two Cavachons, Reggie (13) and Duncan (12), they are our old men. We also have our big man, Goose, a 100lb German shepherd. He is the best with dogs and people of all shapes and sizes, truly a gentle giant. We also have a cat, Peaches. She is very social and doesn’t scare easily. As long as your dog doesn’t try to eat her, they will get along great! Most of my clients are repeat clients, our house is already pretty full, so we never have more than one or two guests at a time. I also frequently book off of the Rover app, and try my best to keep my availability here as accurate at possible. It doesn’t feel like you’re dropping your pups off at the dog sitters when you bring them here, it’s more like their home away from home! I please ask that you KNOW your animals are friendly with children before requesting a booking. We want everyone to have a positive experience, and we would prefer our house not be your pets first time interacting with kids. Thank you for understanding! :)

Katie took great care of our pup! She had injured herself a couple of days before and Katie made sure (as much as someone can with a puppy) that she took it easy, was willing to carry her up and down stairs to go outside, and kept us updated on how she was doing. We knew by the first pictures that we received that our pup was being taken care of as if she was part of the family!

Katie did a fantastic job with our two dogs. Kept us up to date with pictures and how they are doing. Will use again.

Information Katie W. would like to know about your pet

We have dogs, kids, and a cat in our home. It is important to know your dog’s temperament around other animals and babies before bringing them to our house. We want to make sure everyone is comfortable and has a safe, positive experience!

A typical day

We will play in the yard and can go on walks if they want! Our dogs love going for car rides to Starbucks and getting pup cups, and if it’s ok with you, we like to take your pup too!
