About: Hey, I am a huge dog person, I grew up with dogs of all sizes my whole life. They were my best friends growing up. We have one dog of our own and she is my fur baby she is completely spoiled. She loves to play with other dogs and is everyones best friend. I will care for your fur baby just like it was my own, I love to play fetch and go on walks and just sit around and cuddle giving lots of back scratches. If you choose for your dog to stay with me you won’t be sorry they’ll have a blast and get lots of love! Thanks, Katelyn I am a stay at home mom to 3 kids and one fur baby. I love opening my home up to keep dogs so they don’t have to be kept in a kennel when you have to go out of town and cannot take them! I am there home away from home! We spend lots of time outside playing fetch, cuddles indoors and lots of back scratches. My kids love dogs and love playing with them as well!!

“Katelyn R. is very responsible and caring, and loves dogs! I highly recommend her! She has kept 2 of our dogs & has always given top quality service to them and loved on them. She has a really big back yard; spacious enough for many dogs! In fact, we had Katelyn help up pick out a dog for our daughter because we valued her opinion in seeing her past care & knowledge about dogs. She baths them, gives them the attention they need, and is a stay-at-home mom which makes her available for the pets she keeps. Katelyn is reliable, honest, & patient. Your pets would be in good hands and loved.”
