Pet care experience
I’m positive, active, energetic and will ensure your pup is well taken care of. I live with my husband cole who is even move enthusiastic about dogs than myself. During the COVID lockdown we welcomed Frank to the fam - he was an old man frenchie who we loved dearly until the end. In previous experience we have taken in 3 different foster dogs (big and small) and have nurtured them until they’ve found a forever home. We have a long hallway that is perfect for zoomies and a lovely neighborhood for strolling. We are happy to go on runs with your pup or circle the block slowly! Our typical routine will be walks, eats, and snuggling up on the couch. We’d be happy to do a meetup to introduce ourselves, we are always looking for new human friends too!!
Reviews
Charlie had a great time staying with Kate and Cole! He got lots of play time with them and other dogs and enjoyed his long walks! We will definitely be using Kate again!
Kate and Cole were great! Left my untrained puppy with them for a week while on vacation. Kate sent me messages the whole time and pictures. I know my puppy is alot to handle and they were very nice. I will definitely book again if they are willing. Thank you both! I was able to go on vacation knowing that Magic was in great hands.
So glad to have found Kate (and her boyfriend Cole)! I needed a place for Harper on short notice and they were even able to pick her up. I received frequent updates and photos and I felt comfortable enough to let Harper stay there even without time for a meet ‘n greet. Kate Facetimed me, we worked out all the details, and I just knew that Harper was in good hands. Thanks so much to you both and I will be in touch for next time! ?
Kate was an amazing sitter for our pup. Super friendly, loving, and amenable to any of our requests and directions. We knew our pup was being loved and taken care of while we were away. Would definitely book with her again!

We keep a very clean space and will allow your dog up on the couch to snuggle. We will respect your wishes and your space as our own.
Information Kate J. would like to know about your pet
Golden retrievers or heavy shedding dogs tend to aggravate my partners allergies when boarding for a weekend. Happy to do a meet and greet first to determine if it’ll actually be an issue or not!
A typical day
We live across the street from a dog park and would love to let your dog play. Our frank wasn’t always a fan of other dogs so we took him on plenty of quiet walks instead of the high energy park. We love running (ourselves never with the frenchie lol) so active dogs welcome! We loved our frenchie frank with all of our hearts and know how important listening to your dogs body language and needs are. Frank took daily oral medication and i trained him all the basics + place, behavioral downs and leave it. We worked with a trainer for months and am happy to run through your dogs routine too or assist with some sit / down / paw fundamentals!
