Pet care experience
I am a graduate of Miami University (Ohio) and a current Veterinary Student at Auburn University (class of 2022). I will be spending my last “summer break” in Louisville where I grew up and am hoping to do some pet sitting while in town. I used to pet sit with Rover when I lived in Nashville the year before I started Vet school. I have had 8 years of experience as a dog walker for the Kentucky Humane Society, where I volunteered in middle school and high school. During my Junior and Senior year in college I fostered service dogs in training through the 4 Paws for Ability College Foster Program. This program required me to foster 4-10 month old puppies for up to 7 months in my home. I took these puppies with me everywhere I went- to class, to restaurants, to the grocery, to the mall, etc. I love taking dogs for long walks, this replaces my gym membership (ha ha). I hope that I will be able to help you get away for a week or weekend and leave you feeling confident about your pet's care.
Reviews
Kate was awesome! She offered to do a "Meet and Greet" beforehand to introduce our dog June to her two kitties and help give us some ease of mind beforehand. She was super thorough with asking what June's day-to-day was like and what types of activities we usually do with her. I was so happy to receive updates throughout the weekend that Kate was so active with June and truly treated her as if she were her own. When we got home she slept the night away as she was exhausted from her weekend. We plan to use Kate for any trips we take in the future, she is wonderful!
Kate is so attentive to my fur babies. She is knowledgeable, kind and it makes me feel so comforted knowing that she has the veterinary office experience. Our 90 pound Golden Retriever LOVES Kate and our cat Fiona was so well cared for during her stay. Kate sent photos, asked questions when necessary and made me feel 100% like I could enjoy my honeymoon and not worry about a thing. Since we were out of the country it was important to us to have someone who could not only care for our babies but our home too. Kate did it all!
Kate was wonderful! The animals all loved her and were very happy when we got home. Thank you!
You will not find a better dogsitter than Kate! She is so sweet and treats the dogs she keeps as her own. She kept us informed the entire time we were gone and sent us pictures of our sweet Stella girl. We will definitely ask Kate to keep Stella again!

Information Kate H. would like to know about your pet
I do not have breed preferences. I have had experience with all sorts of dogs- toy to giant breeds. I would like to know about any food allergies, mobility issues (ie. arthritis, recent joint injuries), and whether or not the dog enjoys running. I would love to take your dog on a daily run depending on his/her fitness level.
