Professional Foster Pet Mom

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.

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!

Rosie amd Harper had the best time with Kate and her family. Kate kept in touch with me about them and sent pictures. She made it easy to leave them with her.

Kate and her family were wonderful! Our dog is an old man and not always steady on his feet, I was grateful to Kate’s husband for carrying him downstairs when he had decided to explore upstairs! They are a lovely family and obviously love animals. I couldn’t imagine anyone better to look after our dog.

Kate was incredible. Flexible, dependable, great and communication, friendly and very caring. We couldn’t have asked for a better place for our pooch to spend the weekend. She sent us lots of photos and was super easy to coordinate with. We’re so grateful for our time with her and her family. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

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!

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.
