About the Owner

Welcome to Cozy Casita de Pets – Cozy In-Home Dog Boarding, Daycare, and Training for Small Dogs in San Antonio

At Cozy Casita de Pets, I provide high-quality, in-home dog boarding and enrichment-based daycare for small dogs in San Antonio. I care for your pets as if they were my own, offering a peaceful, structured, and personalized experience in my home. This is not a loud commercial kennel. It is a cozy, real home built around your dog’s comfort and well-being.


Meet the Person Behind Cozy Casita de Pets

Hi! I’m Katie, the heart and hands behind Cozy Casita de Pets. I created Cozy Casita from a deep love for animals and a passion for offering something better. I wanted to provide dog care that feels intentional, calming, and genuinely personal.

Before starting Cozy Casita, I worked as a teacher, where I developed a deep understanding of patience, structure, and emotional care. Now, I bring those same qualities to my home-based pet care. I personally care for each furry friend that stays with me, offering enrichment, affection, and a nurturing environment tailored to their needs.


Why Pet Parents Choose Cozy Casita de Pets for Small Dog Boarding in San Antonio

  • A True Home Environment: My home is designed to be safe, clean, and welcoming. With cozy napping areas, secure play zones, and personalized attention, your dog will feel like part of the family.
  • Low-Stress, Enrichment-Focused Dog Care: I specialize in enrichment-based dog daycare and boarding for small dogs. My care includes puzzle play, rest breaks, and one-on-one attention tailored to each dog’s emotional needs.
  • Limited Guests for Personalized Attention: I intentionally keep my guest list small to ensure each pup receives individualized care, enrichment, and downtime. I do not just watch dogs. I build connections.
  • Safe for Small Dogs: While I specialize in small breed dog care, I also welcome well-behaved, calm larger breeds that do well in a peaceful group setting. Each guest is carefully evaluated for a balanced, low-stress environment.

My Mission

To provide a safe, loving, and enrichment-based home environment for your furry friends in San Antonio to relax, recharge, and thrive while their pet parents are away. At Cozy Casita, every stay is built on connection, calm energy, and personalized care.


Why San Antonio Pet Parents Trust Me

I know how hard it is to leave your furry friend. That is why I offer daily text updates, direct communication, and peace of mind every step of the way. With over 250 reviews across Rover and Google, Cozy Casita de Pets is San Antonio’s trusted choice for personalized small dog boarding and enrichment care in San Antonio.

I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Animal Behavior and hold certifications in canine CPR and First Aid, dog behavioral training, and dog and puppy training. My background allows me to provide a safe, structured, and knowledgeable environment for all services including boarding, daycare, and training. Every dog receives informed care, appropriate handling, and support tailored to their individual needs.

I began boarding, caring for, and training dogs through Rover in 2023, where I worked with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, energy levels, and behavioral challenges. This hands-on experience strengthened my ability to assess behavior quickly, implement structure, and create calm, consistent routines that help dogs feel secure and succeed.

I also work weekly with pups from Charming Pet Rescue, helping them build confidence and learn the skills they need to find their forever homes. Many of these dogs just need patience, structure, and someone to truly see them. Being part of their journey is incredibly meaningful to me and reflects the heart behind everything I do at Cozy Casita.

Since January 2025, I have been operating Cozy Casita de Pets full time, offering boarding, daycare, and training through my own business. This full-time commitment allows me to provide consistent supervision, intentional enrichment, structured rest and play, and personalized care for every dog in my home.


Meet Boba!

Boba is more than just my dog. He is an important part of the Cozy Casita de Pets experience. As my calm and friendly resident pup, Boba helps create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all of our furry guests.

He is well-socialized, gentle with small dogs, and often becomes fast friends with the pups who visit for daycare, boarding, and training. Boba enjoys showing new guests around the yard, modeling calm behavior, and offering comfort to dogs who may feel a little unsure during their first visit.

His laid-back personality sets the tone for a safe and relaxed stay. I believe dogs learn best from other dogs, and Boba plays a special role in helping every pup feel right at home.
