Add your little rascal to my family

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Katie and I am a stay at home furbaby mom and my fiance Travis works full time during the day. I have a corgi named Shinji and a Pomeranian corgi mix, Yui. Shinji is happy go lucky and loves to play and Yui is more shy and caters to those who like gentler play or who are more anxious. We also have two rabbits in a large enclosed area named Leo and Cadbury. We go out to our yard for play time and potty breaks 4-5 times a day. Play time includes lots of intense games of tag in our yard, fetch, walks to the park (weather permitting) or if your pup is a tired senior, walking and sniffing around at their own pace for as long as they like. A well exercised pup is a happy pup. On rainy days, we have a box full of toys and smart toys to keep your pupper mentally stimulated. At Katie's Pupper Playhouse, I believe that all puppers should receive the same quality of care as hooman children. Young or old, I can promise I would treat your pupper like my own. They become family during their stay with us. Your pupper will never be left alone, if any errands need to be done, they are done by my fiance before he comes home from work. In between play times, potty times and feeding times, your pupper will follow me around the house as I cook, and clean, so their stay will be similar to what they experience at home so they are less upset. And if your pupper needs nap time, they can sleep with me on the couch, or on our bed in our guest bedroom or our master bedroom. If that doesn't suit their fancy we have 3 sizes of dog beds. I will send regular video or picture updates. I will never crate your pupper while they are with me (unless that is where they are comfortable ). If I DO ever have to go anywhere, it is usually my mother's house and the pups (including yours) always come with to play at Lebanon Hills Park. I am just a pawrent that has a lot of love to give and would treat your pupper as my own. Do understand that I am quite a petite woman, so there is a superficial size restriction to small and medium dogs, but if your large dog is a good listener and is not likely to jump over a fence or "take me for a walk" they are welcome as well. Please note I only have this restriction because I want the safest sitter for their size possible. I do NOT accept aggressive dogs of any kind. I do not discriminate against any race, creed, religion, orientation or family set up. We are currently in the process of cosmetically remodelling our mainfloor and basement so we can provide a more beautiful home for your pupper to relax in. We apologize in advance for an unfinished look in some areas of the home currently, but this in no way, shape or form affects the care we provide your pupper.

This was Lola's second stay with Katie. Lola enjoyed her stay with Katie, Shinji and Yui this time as well. Katie would very promptly send us photos and videos each day of the adventures Lola had on that day. Lola was thoroughly spoiled by Katie and her family. Katie helped Lola make a Thanksgiving card to us as well :). Lola would love to go back for a stay with Katie.

Our 11 week pomeranian/husky mix had a great time at Katie's for her first daycare experience! Katie sent numerous photo and video updates throughout the day - more than expected - which was comforting knowing what Kaia was up to and that she was having a good day. Kaia also got along great with Katie's 2 dogs and another dog that was at daycare that day. We will definitely be re-booking with Katie, as we fully trust her care and expertise with our 11 week pup! Thanks again!
