Aunt Kate’s Pampered Pooches

Specialties

Aunt Kate’s Pampered Pooches exclusively boards small to mid sized dogs with pleasant dispositions into its home as honored guests while their owners are away. Visitors are welcome for periods of time ranging from one day, while their owners shop or celebrate a special occasion, to as long as several weeks while their owners take a nice long guilt free vacation. If the thought of leaving your best friend, who is used to sleeping in luxury and eating a special diet, in a cement floored, iron-​barred enclosure makes you cringe in horror, then you should consider having them stay with Aunt Kate’s. Here they will sleep in comfort and even luxury, in a warm, clean bed and get tucked in at night with love, not the clang of a shutting cage door. Sometimes, if they choose, our visitors even sleep on Aunt Kate’s or Peter’s beds sharing them with their hosts Rocky, Lola and Chester. Every visitor is fed their own diet even if it means cooking especially for them.

History

Established in 2003.

After Kate had retired from being a Real Estate Agent in 2002, several of our friends asked us to watch their dogs while they were out of town.

Somewhere along the way, it occurred to Kate that she could make money by watching other peoples dogs for them. So, she did. Along with her son Peter, Kate opened Aunt Kate’s Pampered Pooches pet sitting.

The name comes from one of our earliest customers who asked her dog, when she came to pick up her dog one evening, «Did you have a good time at Aunt Kate’s?»
