I want to be your dog’s best friend

Pet care experience

I Iove to fill my free time by caring for dogs and cats! I'm always just as excited to see them as they are to see me. When I'm with your pet, I don't want it to be a time of stress for them because their parent is away; I want my visit to be a happy part of their day! I have experience with breeds from Chihuahuas and Cavaliers to Pit Bulls and Great Danes, along with senior and blind dogs. I’ve been on Rover for over a year as well, and it’s been a wonderful time! I’m also quite active and will run around and help de-energize your dog. I love to get down on the ground and cuddle or wrestle too! When house sitting, I try to spend as much time as possible in the home and provide the dog with as much company, love, and stimulation as I can. I’m also happy to complete any house-sitting duties as well such as collecting mail, watering plants, feeding fish, etc. My parents have owned a large dog for six years that I trained and take care of, including: basic commands, walking/road safety, meals, brushing, and tooth brushing and assorted medications as needed. He and I definitely have a special bond (haha his name is Bond), and understand each other's nonverbal cues. I look forward to getting to know your dog in the same way! Extra care I can give: • brushing • tooth brushing • ear cleaning • eye cleaning • medicine administration (topical and oral) I'm sorry, but I do not provide child care. I have plenty of love to give and would love to share it with your pet!

Kate was amazing at looking after our rambunctious bunch! We will definitely request her again in the future!

My cat Toots took to Kate immediately and she is generally shy and reserved so I knew that she and my other cat Gizmo would be in good hands. Plus Kate sent me report cards, pictures and commentary. I will definitely use her again if she's available. ?

Being new in town, we had no idea how we would find someone to check on our kitty over a long weekend. Somehow I made the best random choice ever in choosing Kate. She was so sweet to our boy and just such a pleasure to deal with. Prompt and great communication too!

Information Carter H. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog shed a lot, or do you have cats? (That's alright, I'll just take allergy medicine!) Is your dog on any special diet? I like to bring treats, and I have grain-free ones if that’s preferred. I have no problem with large dogs or “bully” breeds at all. I hate how they’re even called that.

A typical day

I don't mind a little tussle with an energetic dog, or on the flip side, lots of kisses from dogs that like to get in your face. I’ll search for local dog-friendly parks and trails and be sure not to walk your dog on the roads/sidewalks if they’re too hot. I’d love to go to the dog park if time and weather permit during overnight stays! I love to come up with new games to play with dogs, like hide and seek or chase. I also love to bring dogs a toy when I first stay with them. It’s a cute and fun reminder of how much I love them!
