RN/ Loving dog mom!

Pet care experience

If you’re anything like me, your dog is the light of your life! Pups bring so much happiness into our lives, so I’ve always wanted to do what I can to give back to them however possible. I have an abundance of love in my heart for all creatures, so it just felt natural to open up my home to dogs in need of a little love while their owners are away! My husband and I have been a long time caregivers for dogs, from sitting for friends and neighbors to being a dog walker. I’ve loved every minute of it! I’ve also had plenty of experience being around dogs from my youth, and also have experience working pups at shelters requiring a little extra patience. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person to learn about your dog’s various needs. Finally, it gives you and your dog to meet my dog, Simba, to make sure everyone gets along (he’s never met a dog he doesn’t like!). When your pup is in my care, I live by the golden rule: treat every dog as if they were my own. That is, with tons of love and attention! Your dog’s safety is my number one concern, but I also do my best to make sure they have tons of fun with me as well. I always strive to honor what parents want for their pups, so following schedules, medication, or training regimens is never a problem. Dogs are creatures of habit, so I’m happy to adhere to the schedules they have at home!

Copper had a great time at Kate's. She sent pictures of him playing with Simba and another dog they were sitting for. She took him on long walks along the reservoir even though the weather wasn't great. They made drop off and pickup very convenient. We look forward to Copper spending more time with them during our vacation next month!

Kate watched our dog Monty for a week while we were on vacation. Monty is an 11 month old pup who is big and full of energy. Kate was great. She sent updates and pictures of Monty. She took him on long walks and even swimming with her dog. Highly recommend!

I travel frequently for business and I'm so thankful for Kate for caring for my dog while I'm away. My dog Jasper feels totally at home with Kate and he loves to slumber party with Kate's dog Simba. He gets lots of attention, exercise, socialization, naps on the couch, and playtime on the grass. Jasper is always happy, healthy, and content when I come pick him up. I think he is already looking forward to my next business trip. Thanks, Kate!

A true animal lover– from the biggest, fluffiest dog to the tiniest, squishiest frog. Kate is amazing and she handles both my dog and my frog with ease. She is responsible and kind, and there is honestly no one I trust more to care for the two most important little guys in my life.

Information Kate C. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Is your dog spayed/neutered? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup- belly rubs? Swimming time? Extra fetch time?

A typical day

My husband, Jordan, and I recently moved to Miami and love exploring new places with Simba and our guest pups. My apartment complex has plenty of green space for pups. We live right across from Southside park and the M-path, giving us tons of space to walk and exercise our guests. For dogs that enjoy car rides, we love gathering the pups in the car to explore new dog parks and dog beaches around town to expose them to lots of stimulating new environments. Since things get messy in the outdoors sometimes, we're always happy to give our guests a bath. Throughout the day quick walks for potty breaks are a must, always being mindful of safe places for their paws on hot pavement!
