Puppy Lovin'

Hi, I'm Katy, and I and my family love animals and would love to welcome your pooch to our home for some great TLC and fun for our own dog. Our animals are treated like family, and we would treat your family member just like one of ours. We have one dog, a six-pound Maltipoo, and two cats, although we have previously had large dogs, too. We have a large backyard with a privacy fence, so there is plenty of room to run and play. When we are away from home, any guest dogs are treated just like ours. Our dogs are loose in the house, and nothing is off limits except the kids' rooms. We don't leave dogs outside for extended periods, especially when we are not at home. If your dog needs special care like medicine administered or even shots, I am able to take on that challenge. I work from home full-time, so the amount of time your pup would be left alone is minimal. I may run out to do errands at lunch or after work, and we occasionally go out to eat, but we are rarely gone for long periods of time. That way I can offer regular potty breaks and have breaks where I can play with dogs outside. I do offer a discount for multiple dogs. Please ask me about it when booking. Also, I would prefer not to watch puppies, especially if they are not house-trained, but I am willing to discuss hosting your pup depending on the age. I am most comfortable if the dogs are over one year in age. Please consider our home for your dog's "home away from home".

Katy is beyond wonderful, she's our life saver and our guardian angel! She's very dependable, accommodated our needs with extended and emergency travels with last minute notice. She and her whole family are all great support and my dog is very well taken cared of. Thank you Katy!!!

We were very happy with the care she Provided and she made him feel at home it was Vader‘s first time being with someone outside of family. She sent us lots of updates and pictures. And she found ways to get him to eat better. We will be using her again for a two week trip coming up soon.

It’s a wonderful thing when you don’t worry about your babies while you’re traveling. My girls were just as relaxed when I picked them up as they were when I dropped them off, maybe even better! Katy is the best!

Safety, trust & environment

Generally all dogs are welcome to mingle together for play and relaxation. However, I do separate dogs at mealtime so we can avoid any misunderstandings or jealousy.

Pets

A typical day

I love to play with dogs in the large fenced-in backyard, and I have a great walking route if higher-energy dogs require more stimulation than I can provide by throwing a Chuck It in the backyard. In summertime, I like to set out a wading pool for more fun, or set up a sprinkler.

Please let me know if your dog has any kinds of allergies to food or if they cannot have treats. Also let me know if they need special medication or have any difficulties seeing or hearing. We have cared for both blind and deaf dogs in the past, so we are equipped to assist them.
