I have the benefit of working from home so I am always available. I have flexibility to take breaks if attention is needed, and have also had experience with plenty of middle of the night wake-ups for puppies not quite ready to make it through the night.

Information Kate A. would like to know about your pet

Helpful information about your boarder would include their daily routine, when and how much they typically eat, any commands known, energy level and favorite ways to play, sleep routine… etc. On leash behavior and interactions with other dogs, should we encounter them, is helpful as well as any possible separation anxiety in the event that the dog would be home alone.

A typical day

Our days typically start with breakfast and a walk. We have several great local hiking trails if your dog is comfortable with car rides, and alternately live in a very scenic area with lots of local options that we don’t need to drive to!

Pet care experience

Although always a pet owner and lover, we have opened our home to foster pets over the last five years. We have had small litters of puppies, kittens, have helped train and socialize and can offer quiet space for shy animals to decompress. We are an active family and would ensure dogs are getting lots of outdoor time in a safe and loving environment.

Kate and her family were kind and helpful to our dog Sundae. We would certainly be happy to have Sunday stay with Kate again.

We left our baby girl with Kate and her beautiful family. We have been so at ease while away because she has been so good about communicating with pictures and updates daily. We couldn’t be happier with the care she’s given our Piper. We will definitely use them again when the need arises.

I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter than Kate! She took exceptional care of Lucy, and I was thoroughly impressed with her responsiveness, accommodation, and responsible approach. Kate's genuine care for Lucy put my mind at ease while I was away. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Lucy and I are both grateful for the wonderful experience with Kate!
