Certified in Pet First Aid (& Love)

Pet care experience

I'm a lifetime animal lover with a special affinity for dogs and cats. My passion for animals has been a driving force throughout my life, leading me to take care of various pets, both in my neighborhood and during my college years. Over the summers and during college breaks, I had the pleasure of walking and caring for an array of lovable creatures. Every moment spent with these fur babies is pure joy for me! My dedication to animals goes hand-in-hand with my trustworthiness and kindness. Neighbors and clients alike have entrusted their precious pets to my care, knowing that they are in safe and loving hands. I believe in providing top-notch care that goes beyond the call of duty, ensuring the absolute comfort and happiness of your pet. If your furry friend loves the great outdoors, you're in luck! As an avid nature enthusiast and runner, I am more than prepared to keep up with even the most energetic dogs, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and fresh air. However, rest assured, I'm just as content providing care and company for the more laid-back, home-loving pets. My commitment is to deliver a service that leaves you feeling completely satisfied and assured of your pet's wellbeing. I take great pride in the positive feedback I've received from past clients and aim to continue this trend with every pet I look after. So, whether your pet loves long runs in the park, cozy cuddles on the couch, or anything in between, I'm here to ensure they receive the best care possible. I can't wait to meet and form a unique bond with your furry family member!

Kate genuinely loves animals with the care and kindness she provides during her visits! She checked in on our kitty Rosie while we were away for the holiday, and she went above and beyond to drop off a lil’ gift of cat toys. So sweet!

Kate is a FANTASTIC pet sitter! She's so great with my cat, gives her so much attention when she stops by, and gives me all the updates I could want. Kate is extremely sweet and trustworthy, and I'm incredibly happy I found her on Rover; it's hard to find someone that not only stops by to care for my cat when I'm out of town, but she actually stays and gives her some attention and play time!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are of utmost importance to me. As a certified pet first aid provider, I'm fully prepared to ensure your pet's well-being at all times. Rest assured, your pet will be safe and content under my watchful care. I currently share a spacious two-bedroom apartment with my lovable kitty. In case your dog needs to stay over, I can easily create separate spaces for both pets while ensuring they each have ample room to roam and relax. Your dog will enjoy a comfortable, stress-free environment at my home, and my kitty will have their own peaceful retreat. Whether I'm tending to your pet at your place or mine, their happiness and safety is my top priority. As an all-around animal lover, I'm committed to providing a nurturing and enjoyable experience for every animal in my care.

Information Kate D. would like to know about your pet

Understanding your pet thoroughly is key to providing them with the best care. Here are some specifics that will help me tailor my services to suit your pet's unique needs: 1. Their Regular Routine: Knowing their typical day is crucial. Details about their usual meal times, frequency and duration of walks, and their preferred activities can help me maintain a sense of familiarity and comfort for your pet. 2. Personality Traits: Understanding your pet's temperament, especially around humans and other animals, equips me to manage their interactions better during our walks or playtimes. I am experienced with various behaviors and can adapt to ensure your pet's comfort and safety. 3. Energy Levels: Whether your pet is an energetic dynamo or a calm companion, knowing their energy level allows me to align our activities accordingly, ensuring they get the right balance of exercise and rest. 4. Owner's Disciplinary Style: How you prefer to manage your pet's behavior is important to maintain consistency. Whether you follow a strict routine or adopt a more relaxed approach, I respect your style and strive to keep it consistent while your pet is in my care. Additionally, I appreciate knowing about any special considerations, such as unique bathroom habits, medical needs, or particular sensitivities. As a professional with healthcare experience, I understand the importance of spotting and managing any abnormalities to keep your pet healthy and happy. Ultimately, the more I know about your pet, the better I can meet their needs and keep them comfortable, content, and thriving in their routine while you're away.

A typical day

Every day caring for your dog or cat is an exciting opportunity for both fun and bonding. My primary aim is to make them feel comfortable and engaged, taking into account their personality, preferences, and the environment they're most familiar with. For the doggos, the day would typically start with a refreshing walk around their neighborhood. We would explore their favorite routes (or perhaps discovering new ones), taking time to enjoy the familiar sights and smells. No matter the location, rest assured, your pet's walk will be filled with adventure and plenty of sniffs! For the energetic dogs, a game of fetch or a friendly tug-of-war could be on the cards! If they're more into quiet exploration or gentle strolls, we can take our time, ensuring they relish every moment of their walk. My goal is to match your pet's energy level and interests, ensuring they get the most out of our time together. For cats, the day would likely involve playing with their favorite toys, or for the more laid-back felines, a day filled with gentle petting and quiet companionship. I'm just as comfortable entertaining a playful kitten as I am keeping a senior cat company. Whether it's a dog who loves to be out and about or a cat who prefers the comfort of their own home, I will adapt to their unique needs and preferences, ensuring they get the most out of our time together. In essence, a typical day with your furry friend would be filled with activities they love, punctuated by bouts of rest and cuddles. Whether they love vigorous activity or prefer a more relaxed pace, my service is all about catering to their unique personality and preferences.
