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.
My Mission
To provide a safe, calm, and loving home environment where dogs can feel comfortable, cared for, and truly at ease while their families are away. At Cozy Casita, every stay is personalized to each dog’s needs with structure, enrichment, and plenty of genuine care and attention.
Why San Antonio Pet Parents Trust Me
I know how hard it can be to leave your pup with someone new, which is why I prioritize daily text updates, direct communication, and making sure you feel comfortable every step of the way. With 300+ reviews across Rover and Google, Cozy Casita de Pets has become a trusted choice for small dog boarding, daycare, enrichment, and training in San Antonio. In 2026, I was also honored to be named a Top 5 nominee for Best Doggie Daycares in San Antonio by the San Antonio Current!
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 in teaching and animal behavior helps me create a structured environment where dogs can feel safe, supported, and successful. Whether your pup is staying for boarding, daycare, or training, they receive thoughtful handling, individualized support, and care tailored to their personality and 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. That hands-on experience strengthened my ability to assess behavior, create calm routines, and help dogs feel safe and successful in a home environment.
I also have worked 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 simply need patience, structure, and someone willing to truly understand them. Being part of their journey is incredibly meaningful to me and reflects the heart behind everything I do at Cozy Casita de Pets.
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 attention 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.
