FAQ Where would my pup be staying? I have a large fenced-in back yard with a large deck for exercising and enjoying the sunshine. When not exercising or playing they will be indoors roaming around in a designated area of the home or hanging out with us, temperament permitting. I have a small crate if your pet requires crating at night. What if our pups don't get along? :( My pup recently crossed the rainbow bridge and currently only take one household at a time. I have a dog crate, large play pen, yard separator, and designated gated areas to keep your pets safe from other pets. In most circumstances, your pup would be contained in the yard, the outdoor play pen area, or other gated room in the house. What if my pup doesn't get along with children? I have two small children - please let me know if your pet does not do well with children so I can take extra precautions. Will you be with my pup 24/7? I work from home during the day which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks throughout the day and I will spend the evening playing with and exercising your pet. Why should I book with you? I love animals, and have owned dogs my entire life. My dogs have always been like another kid to me, and I would treat yours with the same love and respect. What should I bring? I just ask that you bring enough food for the duration of your pet's boarding and a favorite toy, bed, or blanket if they have anxiety issues.

Katrina took great care of my baby! He is verrryyyyy high energy and she handled that with no problems. He sometimes gets distracted with the excitement of being around new people and pups that he loses his appetite, she got with me when she noticed and found a solution quickly. We will absolutely board with her in the future!

Katrina was awesome with my two small dogs. She sent pics and a video without even being asked. She was prompt and took good care of them. Definitely book with her!

Katrina was GREAT! We were a little worried because we'd not gotten a chance to meet her before we got into town and we were 8 hours away from home but as soon as we met her we knew that she'd take great care of the dogs. She has two smaller dogs of her own that she kept separate from ours while we were there, but by the time we picked Hope and Lou up a few days later everyone was hanging out together. She was quick to update when I checked in on the dogs, but really, I felt comfortable enough that I only texted twice. I would absolutely leave them with her again when I'm back in the area.

Schedule

I work from home so will be able to care for your pet consistently throughout the day. When I have visiting pets, they would never be alone for longer than 7-8 hours at a time which would be a rare event if I had prior engagements away from the house. In which case I would let you know prior to confirming the booking.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets with plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I also follow specific care instructions provided by the pet owner to ensure their furry friend receives the best care possible.

A typical day

I live in a rural area at the end of a cul-de-sac with minimal traffic. We will walk around my neighborhood away from busy streets at least once per day. We will also play in the fenced in area with balls, ropes, and toys.

Is your pet house trained? How often does your fur-baby require potty breaks? Any medical issues I should be aware? Is your pet friendly with other dogs? What signs does your pup exhibit when he or she needs to go potty. (ie sniffing around, whining, going to the door, sneaking off, etc.) How often do you feed your dog? Does your pet have anxiety issues? Is your dog a chewer? Is your dog leash trained? Is your dog crate trained? I especially love large breed dogs but I have owned various breeds from presa canary mastiffs to chihuahuas. All breeds are welcome!
