My husband and I are both working from home so I have a flexible schedule to be there for you and your fur babies. My 2 dogs love company and are ready to play and chill with friends. I do walks before the temperature gets over 80• to protect their little foots 🐾

Information Katy H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know how well your fur baby usually gets along with other dogs. Do they show any anxiety being away from you? Any marking in new environments? Any allergies to certain treat ingredients? Any problem behaviors you need help training?

A typical day

Cuddles on the couch, playing with other dogs in the yard, swimming, walks or jogs, tug, fetch, lots of toys and little training sessions with treats if you like : D

Pet care experience

Se habla español. 会说中文。 I have been working doing dog training for the past 4 years. Puppy and senior dog experience. While working at a doggie day care training and boarding facility I was able to work with many different types of dogs! My property is large enough for dogs to be able to really run and play. I have a front yard fence to provide an extra layer of safety for anyone who likes to sneak out front doors. I always provide a little bit of complementary training to all of the dogs that stay with us. I feel that a trained dog has more freedom and improved relationships with their people in addition to the mental and physical enrichment they get from learning! 💕 dogs who stay with me will get a little bit of the following types of training: Downs sits downstays Fetch Leash skills Tug Heel Place respecting thresholds Understanding of dog psychology helps me to make sure that dogs have good play etiquette. Play is monitored to make sure that no one is getting bullied or being bothered if they want to rest. Complementary training and dietary suggestions are available if you are interested. I regularly have dog training clients as well as board and train dogs at my house so I’m only able to accept well socialized dogs at this time.

My 2 year old Great Dane puppy had a blast being a part of Katy’s pack for 6 days. Her communication was great and she sent lots of updates. They worked on basic commands and he got lots of cuddles. This was the longest I’ve left my pup in someone else’s care and it went far better than expected.

Thanks so much for watching Appa for over a week. She got some great socialization with the other dogs, some pool experience (not a water dog), daily jogs and instruction (such as working with her on "Place"). It was super helpful to be able to enjoy ourselves without worrying about her, and we loved all the pics and videos. Much appreciated!

Katy exceeded our expectations when taking care of our boy during our wedding weekend! She periodically shared video and photo updates of him, which gave us peace of mind during an already stressful time. She did some training sessions as well and gave us advice on improving our problem areas. He came home happy and well taken care of. I would 100% recommend her for any of your needs!

I cannot speak highly enough of Katy. She is a secret that you want to keep to yourself, but can't help but to tell everyone how amazing she is. While she boarding our dog she also exposed him to swimming, which he hasn't had previously. I could've sworn there was a tear in his eye when he left.lol
