Highlights
Pet care experience
Pawsitively the Best
I've owned at least one pet consistently since I was 5 years old. I was a pre-vet major when I started college, have worked in veterinary offices, volunteered at the humane society and have been pet sitting for years. I absolutely adore animals and love having them around.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kate was terrific! She made sure my (anxious) pup was comfortable with her before I left, asked questions to make sure he and my home were well cared for and provided updates throughout. Would definitely love to have her back!
Our kitties were healthy and happy when we got home! Thanks Kate!
Great job!
Kate was awesome, and we will certainly ask her to look after our dog again. Our pup ended up injuring herself just prior to our trip, and Kate did a great job managing the extra care she needed. Thank you, Kate!
Thanks so much love having you sit for us!
Thank Kate!

Schedule
I work full time from home and share custody of my son and my dog who are with me (about) every other week. Both my dog and my son love animals are are very friendly, kinda and loving to all pets and they both love to play with other dogs! I have a cat at home as well who is dog friendly and sometimes plays with my dog or will hide when not in the mood. Pet care is a daily routine for me. We'd love for your furry friend to join our walks and home for lots of fun and play while you're away!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I take great pride in learning what makes your pets the most comfortable while you're away. If you prefer me to stay in your home that is of course the least stressful for your furbaby. If you prefer I host your furbaby(s) at my home, my cat and dog (depending on the time you book) will keep them company and have lots of play time and snuggles! I have a small fenced yard but nearby dog parks and homemade treats! Because I work from home dogs are given daily walks and several opportunities to go to the bathroom outside. If a dog goes to the bathroom in the house repeatedly, a $150 cleaning fee will be added to your booking. I make every effort to work with you and the dog to prevent this but if it continues the fee will be added to your stay.
Pets
A typical day
We love to play fetch and go on long walks. I have a nice long 1 hour loop (if your dog likes long walks, we can definitely do shorter for the smaller dogs). I also live close to two great dog parks for lots of socialization and play!
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsUnspayed females accepted, neutered males onlyNo females in heatKate can host up to 2 pets per night
- Anything that is going to impact your dog, are they scared of loud noises? Do they have a routine that is important to them? Do they have separation anxiety? Any dietarty or medical situations. The more you can tell me about your furbaby, the better personalized care I can provide! My goal is to make your dog feel at home and not miss you! (well of course they will miss you, but not in a stressful way :) )
