I live for pets! Kennel experience.

Pet care experience

Dogs are one of the biggest passions in my life. I just finished a job at a nutrition based pet store so I could devote more time to my clients. In addition to that experience, I have a combined 2 years as a veterinary kennel tech where I would care for and handle a variety of dogs and cats (feeding, walking, daycare, baths, nail trims, etc.) I like to get outside so if allowed by the owner and the pet is capable, I will absolutely take dogs I get to know well enough to go do fun activities such as play at the dog park, nature hikes as opposed to neighborhood walks, etc. Not only do I have experience with dogs, but I can handle cats, turtles, snakes, some birds, geckos, hamsters, fish, and bearded dragons if they need some attention too. Whether I am walking your dog or doing a house visit to feed the cats, it is almost guaranteed I’ll be in love with whoever I am looking after.

Kate was great about communication and was very flexible when we had an unexpected schedule change.

Kate took great care of our fur babies Sketch and Charlie. The house looked great when we got home and our boys were happy. Thanks Kate!!

Safety, trust & environment

At my home, the yard is fenced. I keep water bowls outside on hot days (refreshed daily), and human food is kept away or on higher surfaces. In client homes, circumstances will vary but I can bring a baby gate and always put foods out of reach. If there is no fence, I keep dogs on their leash at all times when not in the house.

Information Kate H. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know if your dog has any allergies, and what triggers they have, if any. Additionally, I should be told about any medications they need to take. I have a set of questions that I ask owners before I walk or pet sit for them for more detailed information.

A typical day

I love to be in nature and hike, and my dog does too! I have a few favorite trails and parks to take her in the area. (Her favorites thing to do is are fetch with a ball or her frisbee, and if it’s warm enough, she loves to swim.) If the owner would like, I absolutely will take their pup out to a trail or park rather than the neighborhood. Any pet that I watch will get play if they are the type to be up for it, and of course lots of pets and rubs.
