Dog & cat lover, premium experience
Pet care experience
I love all the pets! I have extensive experience with puppies and kittens through elderly cats and dogs through years of fostering for animal rescues and being a professional petcare provider. I am also great with drop-ins and house sitting for birds, rabbits, snakes, and multi-pet households, and will keep your plants watered and mail collected as needed. You can feel confident in the care I provide, because I treat every pet as if it were my own fur-baby. I have helped dogs and cats with special medical needs and worked with dogs that had behavioral issues. I also appreciate a fully trained and well mannered dog that loves to play and wag her tail. If you desire, I can provide some basic training (sit, come, stay, twirl) and improve leash walking skills. I love dogs and know how to make them feel safe and happy through patience, affection, and boundary setting. You can feel confident that your wiggle butt receives A+ care with me. ***I'm flexible, so if you don't see what you are looking for still contact me and we can work out an option for you. Bookings are easily modified. I mostly serve the area around Little Traverse Lake, Lime Lake and Sugar Loaf. For farther distances, I may have to assess travel surcharges.
Reviews
Kate did an awesome job. We have 3 dogs and one is older with bladder issues. Even though we left extra pillows and towels, Kate helped by washing them when they were wet.
Kate is an amazing dog sitter! I will be using her services in the future and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter! She sent so many updates pictures and notes! She made the experience worry free!
Kate is awesome!!
We were very pleased. Kate was very responsible, communicated well, sent pictures. Our dog and home were well cared for. Highly recommend!

Home
Information Kate G. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know about potty training and preferences, how they interact with other dogs, and if they have any quirky behaviors. For dog walks and dropins, I usually walk within a requested window of time so let me know your range or if you need a very specific time (for instance, 11am-2pm or please come at 9am sharp). I cannot always accommodate exact times. If you have special needs I can work with you for additional services and custom pricing. I don't have any breed restrictions for any services.
A typical day
I will take your dog on strolls around the neighborhood and, if you desire, to the dog park. I love playing catch and tug with all the fur babies, and giving lots of pets and scratches until the wiggle-butts feel loved and content. With the kitties, lots of snuggles and play. Please let me know what your pet likes.
