Flexible Stay at Home Dog & Cat Mom

Pet care experience

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.

Felt immediately comfortable when I met Kate - down to earth, non judgmental, definitely loved dogs …At first one of my dogs was not so sure but thankfully she did win him over for the dog walking!!! Thanks again Kate for your help!!!!

This is our third time booking Kate to take care of our babies. She is ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL and keeps us up to date and always sending pictures and videos while we are away! So happy to have found her!! There’s a reason we continue to book her again and again!

Kate has now done two stays for our pups and she is THE BEST! She cares for our pups just like her own, always great with communication and sending photos throughout the stay so we can see how our babies are doing. We will definitely use her again!!!

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).

Information Kate J. would like to know about your pet

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!

A typical day

I’ll pet, snuggle, play tug and fetch, and give lots of good scritches! Treats, as allowed, help me bond with your pets and pamper them extra. I’m willing to take special requests.
