Fun, energetic, adaptable
Pet care experience
I’ve always love dogs and enjoyed taking care of friends animals while they were away. I was so excited to finally rescue my first pup 2.5 years ago. She came to me with a lot of reactivity issues and some general fear. It’s been so rewarding working with her and seeing her overcome obstacles. Through training both her and I have learned a great deal. I’ve had the opportunity to be exposed to several dog sports as well as obedience training and try and incorporate pieces from all of it into our daily life.
Reviews
Kate does a great job with my Great Dane. She provides detailed updates and photos from her visits and is very responsive to messages. I will definitely keep booking with Kate!
Kate was great with our dog, Ada. Would definitely book her again.
Kate was great with out pets! Her notes were always so detailed, and she was very generous with the pictures of our pets, which I loved. She was very dependable and flexible as well. We would definitely recommend her and will definitely be booking her again!
I am so pleased I found Kate. She looked after my 3 cats at Thanksgiving and they loved her. I will certainly book her again! Thank you Kate!

Safety, trust & environment
Due to my dog still learning to enjoy other animals company she would not join me on any walks or visits. Any Housesitting I would do would be at your home but I can accommodate your dogs normal schedule.
Information Kate J. would like to know about your pet
I wanna make sure anytime spent with me your dogs needs are both fulfilled both mentally and physically. We can use time with me to supplement any training you are working on. If it’s too hot to spend a lot of time outside can do a potty break followed by some training or mental enrichment inside. Let me know of any triggers they might have while walking outside so I can help avoid them and advocate for your dog as needed.
A typical day
This is based on what the dog likes to do as well as what I enjoy. I ensure that each walk has structure to it and they know what to expect us which includes making sure they have time to sniff the roses. I like switching things up and going from neighborhood walks to downtown and the Many trails we have to choose from locally. I moved to Pittsburgh about two years ago and that is one of the ways my dog and I got to explore and learn the Area was just going out and walking it and finding places to play.
