Dedicated Dog Caretaker

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Kate Dohnal. In the past I have worked as a dog caretaker, so I understand what it takes to be responsible for someone else's pet. I currently live in Marquette, MI where there is plenty of land to roam with your lovable pooch! I am set on taking your dog for long walks to the nearest dog-friendly parks or beaches so they get the proper amount of playtime and exercise. The neighborhood I live in is extremely pet-friendly and it is close to to several parks. If your pet requires extra medical attention, such as medications or dietary supplements I am fully willing to tend to those needs . I am honest, dependable and have a genuine interest in all the animals I have ever taken care of. I am open to do whatever it takes to meet yours and your pets standards. About this sitter: I am more than willing to travel to meet the needs of your pet. I will always make sure your home/pet is in proper condition and cared for in a responsible manner. I am timely and will never leave your pet waiting. I will walk and spend time with the pet for as long as they need, their comfort is my highest priority. I love developing relationships with the animals I take care of and understanding each pets quirks.

This is the first time we have had someone come in to take care of Gracie and were delighted with Kate! She put my mind at rest when she came in and immediately started to play with and make a big fuss over Gracie. She was very careful with giving Gracie her seizure medicine which was very important to us. She posted photos so we could see that Gracie was happy and relaxed. She took excellent care of her and our home was just as we left it. We will definitely use Kate again when we travel. It's a relief to find someone we can trust with our Gracie and our home.

Kate and I had some trouble arranging a meet-and-greet, but once we connected the stay went great! She devoted 4 days to our two yorkies, and we came home to happy, relaxed boys which is never the case when they are boarded. She really cares deeply for them -- she had to leave before we arrived home from our trip by a few hours but she asked that I let her know they were fine when we arrived, even though she was technically "off" by that time. She took care of our home, too, it looked exactly the same as when we left, which was nice to see. Really a great experience. We would book Kate again anytime we needed to travel or be away from home!

Kate took great care of Pearl and our house during her stay. We knew Pearl was in great hands and were able to relax and enjoy our trip! We look forward to booking Kate again.

Kate is one of the nicest girls I have met! She has such a passion for animals that shines through when she's with my dog. She is reliable and totally trustworthy.
