Skills

5 years of experience

Safety, trust & environment

I get to know the pets' individual preferences, likes, and overall what they respond to. I ask owners about boundaries and get a sense of how I can make the pet comfy with my presence! I will try to do similar activities/routines that my client has established with their pet to keep the pets happy and calm!

Information Kate & Chris T. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know important details about pets' personalities, what makes them distressed, and what helps them feel more comfortable with strangers. As well as what typical behavior is like with strangers, and how I can best respect your pet's boundaries and build their trust.

A typical day

I love to take dogs outside whenever possible - whether that's in a yard or taking them on walks! I love to take part in activities that help dogs get their energy out - like playing fetch, running, and just getting to explore and smell the smells!

Chris and Kate are fantastic! This is our second time booking with them to watch our kitties and will not be the last! They provided detailed notes after each visit to let us know how things went - I love how quickly our kittens became comfortable with them almost immediately! Thank you, Chris and Kate, for providing such great care for Lin and Dottie while we were out of town. It's such a comforting feeling knowing they're in great hands!

Kate and Chris are the best! Always leave amazing notes and plenty of pictures of my cats. My cats that are normally scared of everyone love them. Couldn’t have asked for better care for my girls.

Once again Kate and Chris T. provided excellent care for our dogs and house while we were away, allowing us to have a truly worry free vacation! They provided custom care that accomodated each of three dogs needs including high energy rescue puppy still in house-training mode, rescue dog with high anxiety, and little old dog needing layers for warmth when going outside. All three dogs and the house were in great shape when we returned and we hope that Kate and Chris T. will be up for dogsitting next time we need to go away!!
