I am a stay at home dog mom looking to re-enter the workforce and caring for animals is the thing I love to do most. I am currently working part-time as a dog bather and caring for pets on Rover. I generally have lots of availability and only really block out times that I have other appointments.

Pet care experience

Experienced, patient, & kind pet care services. I have cared for a wide variety of animals furry, scaled, feathered, and otherwise. I have cared for animals at all life stages; helped cats in labor, bottle fed kittens, trained shelter dogs, provided senior animal care, administered medicines including pills, oral syringes, ointments, eye drops, mucosal membrane gel, subcutaneous fluids, sprays, and topical liquids. I completed the 4H horse husbandry program when I was a kid and I completed the Joel Silverman Foster Dog Handler Certification Course in 2018. I have volunteered at the Brevard County Humane Society (socializing cats and working in their thrift store), S.A.F.E. Pet Rescue (walking dogs and assisting with adoptions), and Saint Augustine Wild Reserve (preparing diets for a wide variety of animals). I currently have a turtle and three rescue pups of my own. I call my dogs my dogters and I treat them accordingly. I will give your fur kids the same level of care.

Kate communicated with us daily and sent pictures. She took excellent care of all of our pets, including our 19 year old cat, who needs medication every day. I would definitely recommend her.

Kate is a wonderful, kind person who is well experienced with caring for dogs. She has great insight into dog psychology and has given me really good advice on managing behavioral issues with my adopted pup. She has cared for my pets on several occasions when I have been out of town -- for a weekend and even 2 weeks. She is highly professional: punctual, courteous, calm and collected even with excitable dogs!!

Kate is amazing with my cats and dogs - she walks my dogs and has taken care of the dogs and cats while I was traveling too. She is an animal lover and the animals really love her back. She’s very tuned in to what they need and are feeling and you can tell they feel comfortable with her. She’s especially good at gently teaching dogs to mind their manners and also loves to show them a fun time playing and take them for long and stimulating walks. I have seen even the most skittish and ‘fraidy cats warm up to her. Most importantly, Kate is responsible, observant, careful and dependable. I know I can trust her with my fur babies.
