Home Away From Home-Steiner Ranch

Pet care experience

We love dogs...who doesn't right? Looking for a calmer environment for your fur baby while you travel? Having someone come to your home, you pay per visit, that can quickly add up. Using an in-home sitter makes financial sense as well as a more humane way to care for your dogs in your absence. Trust me, you will have zero guilt when you leave your dogs with me! I do adjust my rates based on holidays, supply & demand. They range $35-$49. Even at my highest rate, you can be assured it will be worth every penny with the spoiling your pet will receive. I feel that this partnership needs to be a win-win for all involved as our pets are just that important to us and their care shouldn’t be trusted to just anybody based on a $5-$10 rate difference. Having had a 28 year+ career in the travel industry, I understand plans change. I am very flexible. I am available on short notice as well. You’ll always have my cell phone number and being a stay at home mom allows me maximum time with pets in my home. I’m also conveniently located in the front section of Steiner Ranch with a quick in and out access. We only board 2 dogs at a time unlike others who take 5+. Your dog gets more of what they are used to having at home. This practice is one of the things that sets me apart. We’ve fostered for AAC & Texas Humane Heroes. Our 2 dogs are small, 4 and 12lbs and are older. They have always done well w/other dogs. Quick meet and greets can happen anytime day or evening around your schedule. I send photos daily and am available for facetime calls anytime you'd like to see your baby on THEIR vacation :-) Now this is something to brag about to your friends! Our yard is plenty big w/t”2 sides green space. We don't use crates unless your pup is crate trained and that is your preference. Lmk what your pet prefers and I'll do my best to mirror your routine so they are comforted in your absence. No dogs under 4 months old or that haven't been house trained, newly adopted puppies require constant supervision for their safety and not having been house trained is too much responsibility & work for an overnight boarder. Plenty of references available upon request.

Kim is fabulous! She sends lots of pictures and updates so we're always in the loop with our 2 pups. She has kept my two babes for several long stays, and I couldn't be happier. We do not feel guilty about leaving them when they're at Kim's house. We know she'll give them plenty of attention.
