“Katie was awesome. I highly recommend her for your dog boarding needs. I have a senior dog that requires some extra care, and she went above and beyond. She sent pictures and kept me updated the entire time :)”
“She did not lie when she said she was “The Cat Lady” lol. She was amazing to our 2 fur babies and welcomed them in and treated like her own.

About: Small dogs? Large dogs? Cats? I love them all. I have worked in the animal industry for years and I love it. I love both cats and dogs, could never pick between the two of them. I have had my own dog, along with my own cats. In the past I have had guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, snakes and other reptiles so really nothing is off limits. I currently work from home, so fitting you into the daily routine and schedule is going to be a breeze! Dog needs more time? Consider in home! I take one to two dogs in home at a time as to not stress the dog(s) out! I can easily crate if needed, but I prefer the free roaming way! Im home all day for work and such, so being free and comfortable is my goal!
About: From a very young age, I grew up around animals and I have raised dogs of my own! I have been providing animal care services to friends and family and find it very rewarding! I prioritize keeping the doggos safe and comfortable. My dog is on a regular feeding schedule and is my first priority when I wake up and come home from work, she will get a walk immediately and active engagement. I have trained a few puppies with basic commands like sit, stay, lay down, roll, and speak! I have housesat for senior dogs and enjoy spending time with a variety of dogs! I know how important dogs are to individuals and families and that's why communication is a top priority. I provide frequent check-ins and photos if requested! :) With several years of experience, I'm a trusted companion for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I offer flexible scheduling, attentive care, and a genuine love for animals! I am available Monday-Friday and on the weekends! I work part-time right now and am looking for a full-time work from home job so my schedule will remain flexible! I have a fenced in yard and love to stay active so I'm happy to go on plenty of walks with your pups! I am attentive and genuinely love playing with dogs as well as giving them the attention they need to be happy.

Emily M.
“Emily has been entrusted with the periodic care of our dog and three cats for more years than I can recount. We met her when she was in Animal Tech at the local High School and have enjoyed her thoughtful, caring manner every time we needed a sitter for our animals. Regardless of whether they were young and getting into everything or as they are now getting on in years and in need of much more hands on care. Emily has our complete trust and often advises us as she notices behaviors that we may have missed and always has the pets health and wellness as her top concern. I have no problem recommending her to care for whatever pet has become a member of your family.”
