I love your canine family members!
Pet care experience
I light up in the presence of any dog, and I feel that they are truly special members of our families and our communities. I will take care of your amazing fur baby as if he or she were my own. I have a love for all animals, and I am especially skilled at connecting with dogs and intuitively understanding what will help them feel safe and connected, and what will bring them joy. During visits and walks, I give your pup my undivided attention, ensuring that they feel mentally stimulated by our interactions, and that I am aware of any shifts in their behaviors or needs. I have taken care of dogs for over 10 years and my clients, friends, and family members have been able to rely on my reliability, compassion, and genuine care for their canine family members.
Reviews
I am thrilled to share my outstanding experience with the dog walking service provided by Kate H. As a client with two cats and one dog, finding a reliable and trustworthy service was important to me, and Kate has exceeded all expectations. The personalized attention and care that my pets receive from Kate is truly commendable. She is always punctual and demonstrates a genuine love for animals, fostering a strong bond with my pets. Additionally, Kate sends updates and photos that provide me with peace of mind, knowing that my pets are in capable hands. On one occasion, Kate was able to care for my dog for an entire week, and took the opportunity to train him. When I returned, my dog was listening to commands and behaving better than he ever had for me. Kate was happy to share some of her training techniques with me so I could continue the training path that she had started my dog on. I wholeheartedly recommend Kate to anyone seeking a top-notch dog walking service that extends its exceptional care to cats as well.
Kate is an extremely responsible, caring, and devoted animal lover and caregiver. She has taken care of my 14-year-old corgi/dachshund Nala on multiple occasions and each time, I see joy in the two of them; Kate is reliable, fun, thoughtful, and experienced. She is among the most trustworthy people I have met and will give her all to the care of your furry family. I have seen her care for both cats and dogs and she is unconditionally sweet and sensitive to both. If I ever need any help for my animals, I wouldn't hesitate to call Kate! They couldn't be in better hands.

Safety, trust & environment
I will adjust to the environment you have created for your pet during home visits, and will be sure to address their needs so that they experience minimal disruption to their daily routines. I am skilled at training dogs and staying consistent, so I am happy to reinforce whatever training you are working on during a walk or home visit.
Information Kate H. would like to know about your pet
I love all dogs and cats and am happy to care for anyone as long as I know their needs and preferences beforehand. Please be sure to include any information that is important for me to know- some examples are the amount of food they receive for each meal, how they like to interact with people, how they interact with other animals (when taking them on walks), and any unique personality traits that I should keep in mind.
A typical day
This depends on what your fur baby needs! For dogs with high energy, you can expect that I will take them on a fast paced walk and do play some fetch where there are dog runs available (and if your dog is okay with other dogs). If you just want a home visit, I will check in on your dogs food and water and anything else they need, and I will sit with them and play with their favorite toys. For kitties, I will check on their food and water and allow them to approach me as they get comfortable. I will play with their favorite toys and give them lots of pets when they enjoy it.

Availability
I am a clinical psychologist and I typically see clients in the early mornings and late afternoons. I am available most weekdays between 10 and 3pm, and I can be available on weekends as needed (with enough notice). I love to walk and am physically active, so I am happy to extend services when your pup needs more than a 30 minute walk, or your cat needs more stimulation during a visit.
