Highlights
Pet care experience
Lawyer by day, pet lover by night
Hi, I’m Kate! By day I’m an attorney, but by night I have a bleeding heart for critters. I am getting started back on Rover after a lengthy hiatus. I go into the office most weekdays, so I am unable to accept requests requiring constant care. Weekday requests, generally, are on a case by case basis. I grew up taking care of abandoned kittens & I have been responsible for pets since age 5. I have experience fostering puppies, adult dogs, kittens, and cats. I also have experience administering medication to cats and dogs, giving shots to cats and dogs, and caring for diabetic animals. I’m happy to care for your exotics as well! I recently adopted foster fail #2, Porkchop (a black lab mix), and I also have two cats Jellybean (a fat ragdoll), and Luna (foster fail #1). I’m flexible and able to work with all different kinds of breeds and temperaments. I know that leaving our fur babies behind for any reason is a daunting experience, and it’s important to feel confident that we are leaving them in the care of a trustworthy person who will make taking care of them a priority. I love animals & could not imagine my life without them, so I am happy to be that person for you! Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Ratings and reviews
A+ Highly recommended
Kate is great! I definitely felt comforted knowing my pup Harley was getting all the snuggles & play time with Kates pup Porky. She also sent me daily pics and videos which made me feel not as far away
Kate was very responsive and so good with our boy! She was understanding and accommodating with any of his needs & handled him with so much love and care! We could tell he had a great time during his stay & he’s already begging to hangout with porky again!
The best! Will definitely book again! 5 stars!
Kate always treats my dogs like they are her own.
We were so happy with Kate! She stayed in our home and took good care of our 4 dogs over the weekend. Our pups felt very comfortable with Kate and loved snuggling with her. Great communication and lots of picture updates. Will definitely book again. Highly recommend her!

Schedule
The bulk of my availability is on weekends! But don’t let that discourage you about asking about a weekday. I am usually available weekday evenings. My schedule frequently fluctuates and I occasionally travel for work, but I do my best to keep my Rover calendar up to date. Feel free to reach out with any questions, I look forward to speaking with you & getting to know your critters!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
If I’m housesitting or doing a drop in, I’m at your mercy. I LOVE detailed instructions & I will follow them to the letter. Don’t be afraid to write me a novel about exactly how much and how often to feed your pet, their rigid schedule, or anything else. My babies have a routine too, and it’s especially important for them to stick with it when we’re not around! That sense of normalcy and consistency eases the anxiety of change. Whether your dog sleeps in a crate or has free range, likes the backyard or long walks, we can make it work. And if I’m housesitting and you say Roscoe always sleeps in the bed with you, trust me, Roscoe is sleeping in the bed with me.
Pets
A typical day
I live in a quiet neighborhood, many people walk their dogs past my home everyday. Not a busy area at all and super pet friendly. I also have a fully fenced backyard for hanging out, tossing a ball around, etc.
