Who We Are...
We are Kate & Chris Croom - dog lovers and owners of K.C. and Company! Kate has always been a dog lover but struggled with leaving her dog at a cold, scary kennel while vacationing. Worrying that her dog was confused why she left him, wondering if he was getting enough attention and hoping he wasn’t too uncomfortable in a hard kennel. Dogs deserve love, attention and room to run and play... ya know, to be a dog! In March 2018 Kate decided to quit her full time Graphic Design job to try her hand at starting an in-home, kennel free dog service! Her hope was to give owners, like herself, reassurance that their dog was being spoiled and loved while they were away. Now, Kate & her two dogs - Sebastian and Zola - host dogs in their home, kennel free. Kate’s husband, Chris, is a full time teacher at Sandusky City Schools and helps out part time at K.C. and Company Dog Services when his schedule allows.
All of our services (daycare, kennel free boarding and dog walking) are very customized and only a limited number of daycare dogs and boarders are accepted at a time. This is to ensure safety and quality of care for all dogs during their Pup-cation! Located just 2 minutes from downtown Sandusky, Ohio and Lake Erie. Cedar Point is just a 15 minute drive away!
Kate also makes handmade dog collar bandana’s. Many of the dogs who “pup-cation” with K.C. and Company go home with new dog swag from Kate. All bandana’s are reversible, double layer fabric which lay nicely on your dogs neck. Each bandana is hand sewn and no two are exactly alike. Dog collar bandana’s slide onto your dogs existing collar, making them not only safe for dogs but also owner friendly... no tying! Bandana’s are available for sale in our Facebook Shop on our Home page!
Feel free to reach out with questions or to check availability! We would love to meet you and your pup(s)!
