About Kate C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When pets stay with me, I try to make things feel as close to “home” as possible. I follow your routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime, and I’m big on safety as well. I build in a mix of exercise and quiet time so pets feel calm and comfortable. I also make an effort to send regular photo updates so you always know how your bff is doing! When I’m caring for pets in their own space, I respect your home and your rules. I keep to your schedule, tidy up food/litter areas, and make sure everything is exactly how you left it. I pay attention to behavior and appetite, watch for anything out of the ordinary, and give plenty of love while you’re away. You can expect clear communication, check-ins, and honesty from me!
Information Kate C. would like to know about your pet
I like to know anything that helps me keep your pet happy and safe. Please share their daily routine (feeding, walks, bedtime), any medical needs or allergies, and what training cues they know. Let me know about reactivity (to dogs, people, bikes, etc.), separation anxiety, crate use, or resource guarding. I also love hearing what your pet enjoys (favorite toys, treats) plus any house rules.The more I know, the better I can care for them like you do!
A typical day
I love keeping pets happy and engaged. Depending on each pet’s personality, I like to mix in things like walks around the neighborhood, playtime with favorite toys, and lots of cuddles. For more active pups, we’ll do longer walks, fetch, or sniffy “explorer” walks. For calmer or senior pets, we’ll keep things slower with enrichment toys, brushing, and cozy hangout time.

Pet care experience
Dogs have a special place in my heart. I’ve spent the last 6 years raising and training my own dog from puppyhood into a well-mannered adult, and I recently rescued another puppy who I am doing the same with. I’m very comfortable with everything from potty training to socialization and routines. I understand how important consistency, safety, and communication are, and I treat every pet like my own while respecting your wishes and routine. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and a very loved on puppy when you get home.

Reviews
Wonderful job! My puppy was a huge fan.
Kate did such a great job taking care of my 9yo labradoodle, Rex. He’s a sweetie, but he can be tough because he is 50 lbs and has so much energy. She did a great job taking him on two walks a day, so he spent the rest of the day cuddling with her, which is his favorite. I was nervous leaving him at first, because I know sometimes he jumps where he shouldn’t or chews things that aren’t for him, but she did so so well with him that when we go by her house he still gets so excited. She sent me the cutest selfies of them. Could not be more happy with Kate! She really went above and beyond for my baby.
Kate has helped train and watch my two dogs, Bruno and Sausage, and I can’t recommend her enough. She’s patient, dependable, and truly cares about animals. My dogs are always so excited to see her, and I always go to her whenever I’m in need of a walk or a sitter.
