Premium care for your pets!
Pet care experience
I've grown up with dogs and cats. My friends and neighbors have relied on me to take care of their fur babies and I'm ready to help you! Additional I've had experience taking care of horses, chickens and goats. During my teenage years I spent the summers at my aunt and uncle's horse farm in Appleton, Wisconsin. I spent my days there learning to ride and care for horses. Growing up in New York the majority of my neighbors had horses which I was often hired to care for whether it was for a few days or a few weeks. My maternal grandparents had a deep love for all things k9. They showed Great Danes in the 70s and 80s and during their retirement years transitioned to a very successful dog boarding business. From a very young age I learned how to properly care and train dogs.
Reviews
Kate always does a great job with Roxy. Very dependable and makes it worry free
Our dogs were well taken care of by Kate. She realized Willy got a bit cold so it was good he cut it short.
Kate did another awesome job with our doggies!
Kate has done a great job for me each time. On the last trip I was delayed getting back and Kate really helped me out
About Kate D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I love visiting and taking care of a dog in their own home. I'm happy to take them for long walks or play outside in the yard!
Information Kate D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog is afraid of thunder and lighting so I can help ease their anxiety if a storm occurs during our visit. Also cats have peticular hiding places so let me know where to look if I can't find them right away!
A typical day
My dog is high energy so our day includes hourly training sessions to work on commands and tricks plus either a long hike or run in Garden of the Gods. I'm currently taking care of a dog who loves to play Frisbee so much of our time is spent doing that. I have dog who just loves to snuggle and get scratches. Knowing a dogs energy level and disposition is key to finding the activities that best suit them.
