Katie is great! She makes sure your babies are well cared for, has great communication, and goes the extra mile.
Katie was amazing and will be on our list for future needs!!!!
Katie took exceptional care of my in-laws’ dog, Tillie, for several months. It gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing she was part of such a loving and wonderful family. Katie consistently kept us updated with photos and videos, which we truly appreciated. If I could give her more than five stars, I absolutely would!
Katie is the best dog sitter!!!
Katie is always above and beyond for our dogs. She’s kind and has so much love for them. She’s our dog sitter, and we highly recommend her.

Schedule
We are certified fear-free animal handlers and have experience working with all species from geckos, birds, and primates. Always striving to provide the best quality care possible. We are comfortable and confident with senior pet care including hospice care for those fur babies that need extra special attention and treatment. We own our home and have a fenced yard with a 8ft fence to ensure a safe space for everyone to enjoy. It is located in a small and quiet low traffic neighborhood, tucked away from busy main roads. Our home has an open concept living area, where most of our time is spent with family and friends, both human and animal. Routine and schedules are key to keeping life harmonious at our own Noah’s ark. The kiddos never let us forget the importance of a good breakfast to start the day.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Weather permitting we take advantage of cooler temperatures and morning sunshine. The fur kids with a bark explore the fenced yard that allows for plenty of sniff-time to find the elusive “perfect spot. While the pups get some sun and exercise, breakfast prep is underway. Meals are prepared to meet each individual’s needs. With some of our pups being in their golden years, we make sure everyone gets their meds at the appropriate scheduled times. After breakfast, the day is ready to be conquered, whether this means playing outside, going through the toy basket, or lounging on the sofa for a much needed after breakfast nap. Our own furry family members eat twice a day but if your loved one gets a snack during the day or extra meal we are able to facilitate that. Then it’s play time or cuddles until dinner, and sometimes a walk around the neighborhood. Dinner is usually served between 7-8pm, of course there is always an up roar of barks and meows if we are running late. Once meal & meds are done, everyone gets plenty of time outside for a bathroom break, we start to get the ark ready for bedtime. Depending on the needs of our guests we either have individual crates for both comfort and safety or we have plenty of blankets and beds in the living room or bedrooms. With a full house everyone is usually snoring, dreaming, or snuggled up while binging true crime series by 10pm.

A typical day
There are plenty of walking paths in our neighborhood and beautiful views around the lake. Fetch is a great option and our border collie Bandit is always up for a good throw and needs a running partner.
