150 5-star Wag- condo by PARK!

Pet care experience

I was a Wag! employee for 6 months and received 150+ 5-star reviews, but found Rover to be a better option for meeting a wider range of animals for longer time periods. I've also been a pet-sitter for years! Cats, dogs, birds and reptiles- I've cared for them all. Please see my Instagram account of all the cats and dogs I most often walk and sit for: @katesgotpuppylove If you want to board your pets at my home, I live in a lovely condo with my sweet cat and husband overlooking Touhy Park, and a five minute walk to the beach... Perfect for dog walks. I love animals of all kinds and will give yours the same love and attention that you would if you were there. To accomplish this, I have a lengthy list of questions I've prepared for you to understand your daily routine so I can stick to it as much as possible. I know the anxiety of leaving your pet in someone else's care can be excruciating. I want to make it easier for you and your fur baby. While I'm with your pet I will undoubtedly take photos trying to capture their personality- it's become a hobby. So if it makes you more comfortable, let me know and I will happily text you the photos in real time of our adventures together. For some folx, texting photos can reinforce separation anxiety and if that's the case for you, I'm happy to refrain. Let's work together to make this what you want it to be. Your munchkins will be in good hands.

We can always rely on Kate for our pet sitting, walking and home visit needs. She is reliable, professional, thoughtful and compassionate in her approach. She takes professional quality photos of your pets too! You won’t regret booking with Kate!

Our first time booking with Rover was with Kate and she by far exceeded our expectations. Our dog quickly took a liking to Kate and seemed comforted by her soft and warm touch. The updates she sent while we were away were thoughtful and the photos she sent are of professional quality. She really went the extra mile to make sure our dog was well cared for. We trust Kate completely with our pup and you should too!

This was our second time hiring Kate. She’s super friendly, is very thorough and caring and excellent at giving updates during her drop-ins. I highly recommend her services.

My dog always looks the happiest after walks with Kate. I know my dog loves Kate like she’s part of our family and there is nothing more important than that!

Information Kate S. would like to know about your pet

I have NO BREED PREFERENCES. I have a long list of questions I would ask before a dog sitting that gets into the particulars of one's home and pet-routines. But the most important things I need to know are about dog allergies, leash aggression, past traumas that influence his/her behavior today, and what the sacred toy in the house is.

A typical day

I love exploring new parks and Nature Preserves- always on leash, of course. I find some dogs prefer not to get their pedicures dirty- no judgment!- for those pups I'm happy to stick to the sidewalks and maybe even hop into a Pet store to take in the free scents and snag a treat on our way out.
