Home away from home

Pet care experience

I know it's not home, but it is homey! Sitting on an acre in historic old Catonsville, your pup will be welcomed to share our 4 bedroom home and yard with our family, and will be treated to all its creature comforts. Couch and bed privileges included (as long as you permit) ! As a work-at-home mom, there is plenty of TLC and company guaranteed! Our street is lovely, and is ideal for leash-walking. While our dog enjoys having a canine friend visit, our home is designed to accommodate a pup who needs a "no-other-pets-around" environment if necessary. About this sitter: Does your pet prefer to stay at home? I can help make that happen...multiple visits throughout the day (you decide how often) to keep Fido comfy. He can stay home even when you can't. Priced per visit, with discounts available! Why I love dog sitting I have been pet-sitting for 8+ years and have many happy clients. I love what I do! I also provide dog-walking, and dog/cat sitting services in the 21228 area as well. Meet my pets Sumo is out ten year old Akita who gets along well with canine guests, as long as the guest is mutually friendly. She's an aging beauty who is gliding into her senior years, and prefers to sleep most of the day. About my yard I have an acre of un-fenced property, in a neighborhood that is wonderful for leash-walking. I am also conveniently located near a dog park. All boarders are accompanied and leashed while outside. My experience administering medication Yes - I have experience administering IV fluids and injections, too.

Kate was terrific! Harper stayed with Kate and her family for a few days. I get sad when I have to drop Harper off because I know how much I'm going to miss her while I'm away. Kate sent me a photo shortly after I dropped Harper off to show me that she was already getting so much love from Kate's family. It put my mind at ease from the start of my trip - which was a pleasure. Kate sent text and photo updates daily - each time showing that Harper was in good hands and getting all kinds of attention. I would 100% use Kate again and highly recommend her! Thank you Kate for taking such good care of my little girl and giving her a home away from home :-)

We highly recommend Kate she did a great job with our golden retriever River. We were concerned about boarding him as he is a rescue that we have only had for 2 months. Kate worked through a few issues and kept us updated daily with text and photos. We will definitely be bringing him back to see her for play dates to keep them acquainted before our next vacation!!

Kate was great to work with during a 4 day drop-in visit schedule. She took excellent care of our big dog, who can be anxious and finicky at times, and kept us updated on how he was doing and sent us pictures every day. He seemed very relaxed in her care. She was responsive and made it a point to get to know what would make him most comfortable during our initial visit together. Would recommend Kate to anyone and would happily use her again should we need a dog sitter in the future. Thanks Kate!
