Never worry about your fur babies!

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs for 30+ years and there has never been a time in my life when I didn't have one or more in my family and I now have 2 rescue pups and an awesome kitty of my own. I have been the go-to for as long as I can remember for friends, neighbors and family when they have to be gone for any period of time to make sure that their fur babes are loved when they are away. I have significant experience with giving meds and also with administering insulin shots as my sweet pup Harley, who passed in 2018, had diabetes.

Katy was awesome! My pup felt comfortable with her right away and she took great care of her. She updated me multiple times per day on how she was doing which I appreciated so much! Definitely will be asking her to dog sit again :)

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of room for pups to run and play and a dedicated sandbox for the pups as well. We live within 10 minutes of several dog parks for extra runs and can take them with or without our own pups to play with. My fiance works from home as well so there is always someone here to love on all of the animals. We rescued our two pups together and brought them home to another dog that was staying with us at the time for several months so they are used to being around other dogs and absolutely love running around and playing!

Information Katy B. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if the pup has any kind of fears or things that make them nervous and what makes them feel most relaxed, special ways/times they like to eat, favorite toys or routines they like to follow. Also if they like human touch (some really love it like my dogs who want to be next to me at all times and some just seem to want to be left alone which I understand too!). Obviously since I have 2 pups and a cat of my own, I would want to know how they are with other animals as well. All 3 of my babes just love to play and have a good time - and they all love a good nap too!

A typical day

We have a great neighborhood to walk in with a pond and park across the street that all the pups love to go walk around and have several doggie parks within a few miles of us. We also have a great size backyard with plenty of room to run around and play ball and play in the sandbox!
