Pet care experience

I spent the last year walking, sitting and boarding dogs across Bucks County. This experience allowed me to effectively practice oral & topical medications, execute patience with leash aggressive pups and successfully manage even the most high energy dogs. I have a few clients still in Bucks County that I care and who regularly request my care for their pets while I am on break from school.

Kate was awesome! She took such good care of Charlie, was extremely responsive, and provided pictures and updates while we were away! 10/10 would book Kate again

Kate is an amazing sitter and my dog loves her! She helped me in a pinch this time and I can’t thank her enough.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a 3 story townhouse with 2 roommates who both would love to have a pup around. The house is primarily hard wood and has a small concrete back patio. The neighborhood has plenty of sidewalks, trees and parks nearby. Many people in the area walk their dogs around so dog friendly pets are recommended but I have had no problems with walking some of my leash aggressive pups the past few months. There are no other pets at my home. When I am at a clients home, I am very respectful of your space. I will follow all instructions as provided. Previously, I have had clients ask me to sleepover and will have the dogs/cats in bed with me. I prefer to meet you and your pets prior to any sitting to ensure compatibility and safety for all parties.

Information Kate H. would like to know about your pet

We have a neighbor with a puppy who often barks so knowing your pups reactivity to other dog noises and street sounds would be great! Knowing if your dog is crate trained and/or sleeps in your bed nightly will be helpful. Any allergies your dog has is great to have as well (I have experience with a highly allergy prone pup)

A typical day

There are parks in the area so taking your pup to the park would absolutely be an activity I can provide. I am also an ex track athlete so I love to run. If you have a hyper active dog, I can absolutely run with them!

I am currently a Physician Assistant graduate student starting classes in Summer of 2023. My school schedule changes weekly but I can provide full time care most weekends. During the week, I am away from home for 5-6 hours. Living in Fairmount, there are plenty of accessible paths for walking and space to allow your pet to get some energy out.
