Pup Playdates with Kat!

My name's Kat and I absolutely love dogs! I've been taking care of them for over 20 years. I also volunteer at the local animal shelters as a dog walker so am extremely comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. My current fur babies are a 16 year old Morkie (Maltese-Yorkie) named Sophie and a 6 year old poodle-bichon mix named Wally. We are a package deal. :) We live in a small house with beautiful fenced-in backyard in mid-city. Together, Sophie, Wally and I will make sure your pup has an amazing time during their stay! We look forward to meeting you!

Kat was a wonderful petsitter and sent us tons of photos while we were out! The dogs got along with her well and she was very kind and friendly to everyone. Would definitely book with her again.

This is the second time I’ve brought my Toy Aussie Bonita to Kat when visiting my sister in LA. Bonita doesn’t like to be home alone and Kat was kind enough to accommodate taking her in the evening last minute so I could go to a show with my sister. It was so great to know that Bonita would be safe and well cared for so I could enjoy my time out!

Kat is the best! She always has a lot of pictures, I know my dog is in good hands and great company with her pups :)

Doggy Day Care • Nov 22, 2025

My dog Bonita stayed with Kat and her two pups for a few hours in the evening so I could go out to dinner and a show with my sister. We were visiting from out of town and Bonita has separation anxiety and doesn’t do well home alone in new places. She seemed to have a great time with Kat and settled right in after I left. Kat shared many photos where she looked happy and cozy! I would definitely book again.

Schedule

I work normal hours running a small business from home so am able to give lots of attention to your pup! We typically take 2 shorter walks a day, generally around 15-20 minutes each. I also take a longer walk (about an hour) around lunch time and will bring along any higher-energy dogs I’m watching who need more exercise. Playtime happens whenever your dog wants! Wally loves playing with his toys and other dogs, so they will have a playmate if they come over.

Safety, trust & environment

The house is on the corner lot and has a fenced-in backyard that I let the pups out in every couple hours. I will always greet you first with Sophie and Wally outside to ensure the pups will be just fine, but Sophie and Wally are sweet and used to having friends around so that hasn’t been an issue in the past. Inside we have hardwood floors. The space is a decent size with 2 bedrooms and a kitchen area, so large enough to separate the dogs if needed. Dogs are allowed on the furniture. The pups have full roam of the house. They are both super chill. Sophie mainly cuddles up in her bed under my desk as I work or chooses to hide and sleep under my bed. Wally hangs out in the AC in the living room and watches out the front window - he’s the “neighborhood watch.”
