tender loving / high-level care

Pet care experience

I love running and playing with dogs. Also, I enjoy cuddling and holding practically any animal that is receptive. I’m an organized, responsible, practical and well-educated physician-enteprenuer with an online consulting business. I'm adaptable and can work from anywhere that has internet service. I am passionate about the outdoors and love to go for walks and hikes on a daily basis. I’ve had dogs, cats and horses my entire life and have been known to have a gentle, patient touch with even the more challenging of animals. I am very excited to meet your furry friend and spend some time giving him, or her, some attention and care. Feel free to reach out so we can discuss what might be a right fit for you and your pet's needs. Thank you.

Kate watched my French bulldog while I was away and was amazing! I got lots of photos, videos, and detailed updates every day. It made me feel at ease, I didn’t have to worry at all about Lando because I knew he was in such great hands. She also left my place in excellent condition. I would highly recommend Kate to anyone in need of a pet sitter and would absolutely book again with her. Thanks Kate!

Highly recommend!! Kate was diligent, communicative and flexible (very helpful as the power went out in our house - ugh). She is attentive to detail and extremely responsible. Kate is also very personable and most importantly took terrific care of our treasured dog. Thank you, Kate. We highly recommend her to anyone on Rover.

Kate was absolutely the best dog sitter we have had! She sent multiple pictures of my happy dog! She took her on multiple hikes and runs! I’m sure my dog loved every minute she spent with Kate. I finally found the perfect dog sitter and she left my house super clean. Thank you!

Over the past 6 months, Kate has been my house & dog sitter on multiple occasions for up to 10 days at a time. I have always returned to a clean and organized home and a very happy, healthy dog. She has been diligent about all tasks - collecting mail, small house maintenance tasks, garbage and recycling, etc. I have enjoyed seeing several photographs sent from Kate of my doggie, Kobo, doing different activities and looking very well while away. Will absolutely recommend her as a very trusted and passionate house & dog sitter.

Amazing… I love caring for animals! It doesn’t matter where I am, however, I find that does seem more comfortable and relaxed in their home / regular space.

Information Kate B. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences - I've cared for many types of horses, dogs, cats and a variety of animals for years. I a medical doctor....I believe some skills are transferable, especially common sense. I volunteered at a Veterinary Clinic with two vets for an entire summer - worked with both small and large animals in this sense.

A typical day

I exercise daily - can run up to 6 miles a day for 6-7 days out of the week. If your dog can only walk, I'm very happy to trade speed for company:) If you let me know your preferences for routes, I'm happy to take your animal on a variety of hikes, walks, park visits, etc. **BTW, I'm completely type A about cleaning up and taking care of 'business' - not only is this essential for the community, but close awareness and visualizing of the GI functioning of your pet is also a double check on their health & happiness.
