Flexible Stay at Home Dog & Cat Mom

Hi there! My name is Kate and any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had many pets and fell in love with them. From pet sitting, long or short walks, boarding and of course taking care of our own pets, I’ve got experience with it all! I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes. We’ve adopted rescues and fostered animals. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for my whole life! Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to house sit, care for their pets, trim nails, and often call for advice. I studied and have degrees in Animal Science and Fisheries & Wildlife, and worked in the boarding facility and as a doctor’s assistant at a veterinary clinic before starting a family of my own.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I’d love to meet face to nose before booking, and will care for your pets like they’re my own. While I will primarily be visiting your place, we do have a fenced yard and furry friends of our own. I never forget to bring treats and always have an eye out for anything that may be wrong with your pets and will let you know right away. We’ve had pets with all sorts of special needs so I’m familiar with medicine administration, special diets, and elderly pets that need extra attention (or want to be left alone).

Kate took great care of our fur babies! They were happy to see her and snuggle with her, and we were glad to know they were being well cared for while we were gone. Kate asked any questions she had and kept us updated on how everyone was doing. We will definitely book with her again in the future!

Let me know if your pets have any special needs or need extra attention - like door divers and jumpers. I’ve handled it all, but it’s better to know what to expect!
