Take A Peak At Some Of Our Testimonials From Our Best Friends’ Owner(s)...Thank you BTW! AND PEEP our awards-TWO years in a row-as PLATINUM WINNERS!

“They are the best! We have an old shelter dog (Lucy) that had a hard life before we got her. She is the sweetest dog. And they treat her with so much love and care.”

– Chad M

“Love leaving our girl with Katy the K9 Keeper. Much better environment than your typical boarding place. She has other pups to play with and most importantly, kind humans to nuzzle up to.”

– Pam S

“Katy and Charlie, thank you for taking such good care of Sadie! It is so reassuring to know that our doggo is in a family setting when we need to go away. Sadie said the highlight of her stay was getting to take a nap with Charlie. That made her feel like part of the family!”

– Jon M

“Our Clark just spent 2 weeks at Katy's and came home a happy pup! I loved getting pictures and videos of our little guy while we were in Europe.”

– Anne K

“We usually have our friends and family watch our dog while we are gone, but decided we need to have another option available. Boarding our dog with Katy and Charlie is just like leaving them with our family. We feel no worries at all - even in the height of allergy season. Piper comes home happy, sleepy, and with no flare ups thanks their knowledge and upkeep of care. We couldn't be happier with their service!!”

– Annalise C

"Friends… if you need the perfect solution for your pups while you are away, Katy, Charlie, Michael, and Jager are THE BEST. All inclusive, socializing, laid back vibe. Compare their all-inclusive pricing to others and you will be pleasantly surprised. AND, no crates unless you choose to crate! Chechia takes here’s but I suspect she doesn’t use it much. She loves it at #KTK9K – and they will come to you if you prefer your pup’s be at home!"

- Christie Eli

"We couldn’t have asked for better people to take care of our goldendoodle. It gave us such peasce of mind to know he was in such good hands and having so much fun. Katy was easy to work with the entire time and gave us updates while we were gone on our dog’s stay. So happy we found #KTK9K and will definitely be using them again."

- Chelsea T

"Katy & Charlie have been looking after our two dogs for almost a year. We both travel quite often, so they help us out a lot. The updates we get and the care that they give our pets are absolutely top notch. I can’t imagine what else you could look for in a pet sitter."

- Justin T.

"Our Grady had a blast staying with Katy and Charles! He became best friends with their dog, Jager, and had fun with the other dogs boarded as well. Boarding with KTK9K was a much better option versus boarding at a kennel where he would stay in a small kennel most of the day. With KTK9K, Grady was able to play, get plenty of couch time and cuddles, go on walks, and be loved on just like he would have at home. We will definitely be using Katy and Charles in the future!"

- Sara G.

"We couldn’t have asked for better people to take care of our goldendoodle. It gave us such peace of mind to know he was in such good hands and having so much fun. Katy was easy to work with the entire time and gave us updates while we are gone on our dog’s stay. So happy we found Katy and will definitely be using her again!"

- Chelsea D.

“We learned about Katy the K-9 Keeper through both a mutual friend and the Next Door app. I had not had good luck with pet services prior at all and was looking for someone who would really treat our “kids” like their own. Katy and Charles did a meet and greet with Pancakes and Izzy and we were so excited right away. We don’t have to worry at all about taking a few days or longer now if we need to be gone because they are treated just like family there and are not crated all day. Here is where you want your dogs to be cared for when you are going to be away!”

- Kathleen M

"When I first started a job which required working 24 hour shifts, I was dreading the idea of boarding my two boys. The thought of that seriously made me cry. I heard about Katy and Charlie through a mutual friend and decided to reach out to them. The minute Moo, Leo (my big Great Dane boys) and I met Katy and Charlie, we all felt a sense of calmness, especially mom…we knew we just had to hire them for in-home dog care! It was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my two boys. I know without a doubt that Moo and Leo are cared for with love while I’m traveling for work. I always come home to happy boys and love reading about what they do during their visits! Leo can be a little challenging at times but Katy and Charlie handle him like champs! The care they provide for my fur babies is so much appreciated and a dog mom that doesn’t have to worry about the pups is always a good thing! Katy and Charlie are so awesome when it comes to working with my crazy schedule – they are beyond reliable. And most importantly, my boys love them. They are THE BEST!!"

- Kristin K

“My husband and I were out taking a walk with the pups and the boy in our South Broad Ripple neighborhood, lamenting over the fact that our regular dog watcher has been too busy lately. Since we travel a lot, having a dog sitter is a big deal to us. We prefer having a person watch them rather than a commercial kennel. The pups seem ok with either, but they seem happier when watched in a home setting.

Just then we noticed a van parked at a house we call, "The Great Dane House" and on the side of the van it said, "Katy the K9 Keeper," and we saw a nice young couple walking the Great Dane Dogs just ahead of us. We sped up our pace and introduced ourselves, they seemed bright and warm. We made a meet and great appointment, and it went great!

They have a cute house with a spacious, secure yard and dog play basement. We get cute pictures of our pups, they administer medicines and always make everything super easy. They even offer home pickup and drop off! Great because we often leave on 7am flights. 

We're so happy we met them in Dog Ripple...er, I mean Broad Ripple!”

"Katy is wonderful!  I have a very sweet PitBull mix, however; he doesn't always do well with strangers, and I have to be diligent when vetting out potential daycare/kennel options.  I've learned that many dogsitters/walkers are simply people who love dogs but have no real training/experience other than the family pet who lays in their lap.  That is not the case with Katy, she is ver experienced to include caring for pets with medical needs.  I have full confidence in her abilities, and the peace of mind I have knowing my dog is in great hands when I'm gone is worth it's weight in gold!  And, not only is Katy capable, but she also provides lots of love and attention in my absence.  We are very thankful to have found Katy and only wish I would've done so sooner!"

- Marcy M

"Katy was very good with our rambunctious puppy - and we know that he can be a handful!  We will definitely be using her in the future when we leave town.  I felt totally at ease with Katy in control.  5 stars!"

- Beth W
 

"They are just the best!  We can leave and go on vacation and never worry about our dog (Emma).  We know she's in the best hands!"

- Niki M

"Katy did an awesome job with my dog, Bear and my 3 cats!  I knew my fur kids were in the best hands and that enabled me to relax and have fun while away!  She checked in with me to let me know how they were doing and I could not have been more pleased!!  I highly recommend Katy's services!"

- Jessica V

"We needed help the last minute and Katy & Charlie came through.  They took care of my dobe and kitty.  No worries while we were away.  Katy is dependable and she's a great choice if you want someone to love your pets while you are away!"

- Stacie G

"Katy always takes great care of my Cookie and is always flexible to meet your needs and the needs of your furry friend!"

- Angela D

"This was the first time leaving our fur-child with a pet sitter! Katy the K9 keeper went above and beyond our expectations and our little English bulldog had the greatest time! Katy The K9 Keeper is one of a kind and treats your pet as if it were her own!!! Will definitely bring our little pup back to her!"

- Jeni H

 "Just picked up this guy from his stay at Katy The K9 Keepers! He had a fantastic week! He loved all the one on one loving he got and the new friends he met! He is already looking forward to his next visit!!!! ‪#‎ktk9k‬ ‪#‎sammysarten"

"Thanks for watching Hershel for us last weekend. It's been a little chaotic for us (and him) as we move to our new home in Indy. But we were relieved to know Hershel was in good hands and having fun while he was with you. We are so lucky to find such a great sitter and know that Hershel gives his paw of approval. He can't wait to visit again and make more furry friends! ‪#‎KatytheK9Keeper"

- Lydia S

"Thanks for taking care of Sam this weekend! Judging by the pictures he was in cuddle heaven!! Love knowing my baby is in good hands while away! ‪#‎samagram‬ ‪#‎cockersofinstagram‬ Anyone looking for a dog sitter? Sam had a great time with Katy this weekend! Highly recommended!"

- Celia S

 "Thanks Katy for taking such good care of my mom's 'Harley' while we traveled! He was reportedly 'exhausted' and slept all day on his return home. We are sure he had a great time with all the activity you did with him, with daily walks and time at the park- and I am sure he and the other 'guests' had great times running around in the yard! When I was telling my brother about your service, he said "so it's basically a Bed and Breakfast for dogs?". I think that's a good description! My mom was worried about leaving him at a traditional kennel, and your service seemed like the perfect alternative. I was very impressed by how much time you spent walking the dogs and spending time with them, and your love of animals was quickly apparent when we met you. We will definitely have him stay with you in the future if/when we travel. Thanks!"

- Patrick M

"Thank you so much for having Chloe this weekend! She has been so worn out and lazy ever since we got home! I love knowing that she is in great hands with you and I don't have to worry about her!"

- Carmen M

"Thanks for taking such good care of Margo! She's already napping on my bed and we just got home! I know she enjoyed herself!"

- Anita O

"We just picked up our puppy last night from Katy The K9 Keeper and SO happy our little guy was in such good hands in a home setting, instead of a kennel where he'd be left in a cage. It was our first time leaving our 5 pound 12 month old puppy, Charlie- he's kind of a handful, and we were going to be out of the country for a week, so we were a little nervous leaving him behind. Katy was very understanding and put our minds at ease - it's obvious she's a caring person and LOVES dogs. Charlie got to play with other dogs, which made us so happy- we were worried with his size that other dogs might try to eat him lol - but she assured us that she would introduce new playmates slowly and see how it goes. We trusted her and he got along great with all the dogs! I think he had a blast! She even made us a cute report card to let us know how he did. Our puppy will definitely be back to play! We give Katy The K9 Keeper two paws up and gladly will refer her to all of our dog loving friends."

 "Fritzy is so excited to get some good TLC at his slumber party at Katy The K9 Keeper tonight! I know she is going to give him lots of snuggles and kisses and cuddles! Great place to leave your furry children."

- Angey B

"Katy is amazing with my (slightly high maintenance) pups! They seem super happy every time we go to her house! She treats them like they are at home! I would defiantly recommend her to anyone looking for a great, reliable pet sitter!!!"

- Ellie H

"We meant to post sooner, but we just wanted to say "THANK YOU" for taking such wonderful care of Frodo and Libby several weeks ago. They loved staying with you and we know they received the best possible care and attention. We hope you have a great New Year!"
