Experienced shelter volunteer!
Pet care experience
I have been taking care of dogs my entire life, both through pet ownership and years of volunteering/fostering with local shelters. My first job out of college was working for an animal shelter, and since then I have continued to volunteer no matter where I have lived. I have experience with reactive dogs, dogs that pull, dogs with separation anxiety, and extremely shy/undersocialized dogs. I am comfortable administering medication, and I love getting to know each dog's unique personality traits!
Reviews
I cannot rave enough about Kate. This was Teddy’s first time staying with her and he looked like he was right at home! Kate was extremely communicative, sending pictures and videos throughout the weekend, which made me feel at ease. Teddy got plenty of exercise and even a few special treats on his walks. I will most definitely use Kate again the next time we need a dog sitter!
Kate is the absolute best! She is an avid dog lover who gave the utmost care and attention to my 4-month-old puppy while I was away for a weekend. We will definitely come back to Kate!
Kate was so communicative and spoiled Bronson the whole weekend. It was bronsons first sleepover and I’m glad it was with Kate.
Kate was a lifesaver for a last minute house sitting booking! We’ve only had our rescue pup for a little over a month and were scrambling to figure out what to do with her when a family emergency happened and I had to fly out of town. Kate was super quick to respond to our house sitting request and schedule a meet and greet. Our shy little one took to her quickly and her experience volunteering at shelter was definitely a bonus for dealing with our little Nellie. We received lots of pics and frequent updates and will absolutely book Kate again!

Information Kate B. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any behaviors I should be aware of (e.g., reactive around big dogs, likes to eat everything in sight, etc.)
A typical day
I love talking long walks with dogs and encouraging them to sniff and play. I live in an area with lots of green space, so there's ample walking spaces.
