Loving Care from a Lifelong Dog Mom

Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I currently have two pups of my own—a sweet senior dog who I’ve had for 15 years, and a fun-loving 1 year old—so I understand everything from gentle senior care to energetic puppy playtime. I also grew up with five family dogs and have helped care for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs while they were out of town, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of routines and temperaments. Dogs in my care are loved like my own. Whether your pup needs structured walks, belly rubs, medication, routine, or just reassurance while you’re away, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I know how important communication is, so you can expect regular photo updates and quick responses. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my first priority. I too am a Rover user, so I completely understand the anxiety of leaving your most precious companion. After getting my second dog, I have started thinking what’s one more. So, I decided I should try Rover before becoming a complete crazy dog lady! Due to having a delicate senior dog, I am only able to board small dogs in my home for now.

Kate has watched my dog several times and I cannot recommend her enough! I always receive pictures and updates about how my pup is doing while she is watching him and he is always very well taken care of. Her 2 dogs also get along well with mine and are well behaved. You will love her!

Kate is exceptional. She is punctual, communicative, attentive and genuinely dedicated to the dogs that she cares for. She will treat each and every pet like her own. Five stars!!!

Catherine has been a dog lover for as long as I’ve known her. I don’t know anyone I would trust more with my dog. She goes above and beyond to make sure her dogs are happy!
