Kennel work experience

Pet care experience

Hello friends! I’m taking a break from Rover and will hopefully be back soon. Thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Kate and I love animals of all kinds. Previously I was a kennel worker at Barbourlane Animal Hospital where I fell in love with caring for people’s pets and making them feel at home. I’m fairly active and enjoy long walks, throwing frisbees, hiking and anything outside- but don’t get me wrong, I’m never opposed to cuddling on the couch. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages and energy levels and even have experience giving pets their medicine (including insulin shots). My house is located on a 40 acre farm with a fenced in yard for your dog to roam and always stays stocked with squeaky toys, yummy treats, & cozy blankets. Pets are always welcome (and encouraged) to enjoy my couch and bed. I do have a standard poodle and a Siamese cat in the house who love to make new friends. I highly recommend visits beforehand to ensure your furry friend is as comfortable as possible. I can’t wait to meet you!

Kate was so wonderful! We left our twelve week old puppy for the first time for a week, but Kate assured us he was in good hands. She did a meet and greet with us, followed our care plan, and sent us plenty of updates and pictures and videos. We can't thank her enough!

Kate was extremely responsive with initial contact. She came to meet Sweetie, who took to her immediately. Kate followed every single instruction for Swetie's care and went above and beyond to keep her happy and entertained. She sent me thorough daily updates and pictures. I came home to a happy pup and a clean house! I will absolutely have Kate care for Sweetie in the future.

I was at first very nervous about leaving my girls for a week, but after meeting Kate, I was reassured that everything would be OK. She was so good with my girls that I would not hesitate to have her here again. I appreciated the daily text updates and pictures. Kate truly treated my girls as if they were her own.

Kate was absolutely amazing!!! She cared for our 2 cats for 15 days and did a fantastic job with everything - feeding them, changing the litter, keeping dishes and areas clean, and she gave them so much love and attention that for once, they were not mad at us when we got home from a trip. She checked in with us twice daily on the app and sent great photos - all of which allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip without worrying about our kitties. 5 stars all the way!

Information Kate J. would like to know about your pet

Each visit is highly personalized! I would like to know your pets ticks and triggers, any history of aggression, their favorite place to be pet and scratched, their favorite phrases, if they like meeting new friends, their favorite toys and favorite activities. Tell me your pet’s love language, do they like affection or space? If I’m house sitting, I would like to know what house duties need to be done as well. I’m here to help!
