Pet care experience
Hi! I am Kate, an experienced dog owner, sitter, and walker. Dogs have been teaching me how to live better all my life. When I was seven years old, I started my own pet-sitting business, and I’ve been looking after dogs (and cats and fish and…) ever since. Whether running by my side or chilling with me on the couch, dogs remind me how to relax, how to stop and smell the roses, and how to be a loyal friend. When it comes to dogs, I’ve seen it all. I’ve had many dogs over the years, from Pomeranians to Great Danes. I’ve also fostered a couple of dogs with special needs, so I am well versed in caring for canines that need some extra TLC or have behavioral issues. At present, I co-parent my pup, a German Shepard / Great Pyrenees mix we adopted. I believe a lot hinges on the meet-and-greet. I’d like to spend time with both the owner and dog, and then take your dog on a solo walk for a few minutes to ensure we get along sans parents. I’ll ask you about their daily routine, personality, and favorite things, so we can be sure to have the best time possible. We’ll walk around the neighborhood and explore the smells. And I’ll send you photos every booking so you can see that your dog is having tons of fun. I’m ready to make sure your dog has a excellent time while you’re away and ensure great care and an abundance of love. Contact me today!

Kate stayed with Taco for 2 1/2 weeks, and I can only give accolades for the job she did. She took great care of Taco, our 4 yr old lab, and emailed us pictures of his activity. In addition, the house was spotless up[on our return---better shape than I left it. Kate is compassionate, professional, responsible, and a delight. I hope she will be available the next time we go out of town.
Kate was wonderful with our Neeson! We got updates and pictures everyday she checked on him and came home to a clean litter box and a happy cat! The Rover app was so easy to use and communicate through while we traveled. Will definitely use Kate and Rover again in the future!
Kate was fabulous! She was so sweet from the meet and greet until she returned my key on the final day. The dogs were so busy and happy while I was away. She took them on multiple walks and to the dog park more than once. She sent lots of pictures of their adventures! It's so nice to not have to worry about my sweet dogs while I am away. I will definitely be booking her again in the future! :)
kate has been wonderful! she was very accommodating with everything from the meet-and-greet to scheduling... one time i realized i needed to cancel last-minute and she gladly contacted rover to get it taken care of. she is so nice and communicative and great with my dog, tico. she always walked him for the full amount of time and gave me timely rover cards with information about her visit. i would definitely recommend kate for dog walking or any other services that require a conscientious, responsible dog lover.

I always start out with the pet parent’s instructions and treat your home like my own. Like people, all animals are different with their unique personalities. Whether you crate your pup go free roam, I ensure your instructions are followed. Additionally, I follow your protocol for entering and exiting the house.
Information Kate C. would like to know about your pet
I want to have a candid conversation about any possible issues: Does your dog have a "strong personality"? Do they get along with other dogs? Do they have any medications or allergies? Also, I want to know their routine: When is meal time? Are treats okay, and if so, what kinds of treats? Are they a ball dog? Do they like to be chased? Do they have a favorite toy?
A typical day
We’ll start the morning with your dog’s usual breakfast, followed by some morning rubs and cuddles. If your dog likes to run and play, we’ll go for a jog around your neighborhood. After that, we might take a rest for lunchtime and a puppy treat. We’ll go for walks every couple of hours and then maybe go to the dog park for evening smells and playtime!
