Pet care experience

Pick me, pick me.

I am an experienced sitter of dogs, cats and a few other animals. I have many local references. I will come and stay in your home, which is the most calm experience for dogs. I will love your dogs just as you do. Your pets will get the same attention and food/walk schedule, that they get with you, in their own environment. Your home is looked after too, water plants, bring in mail, etc. I will also take dogs into my home if this is more convenient. Your dogs must be fully social in this case, as I may have others at the same time. Coming here on vacation?? Bring me your dog! Or I'll come to your hotel. I've been to Disney several times!

Having just moved to the area I was nervous about leaving our girls. But upon meeting Kate I knew they were in good hands. Both dogs loved her immediately. She had great communication. I would absolutely use her again.

Kate is amazing. She has been fur baby sitting for our littles while we go to the parks for years. We appreciate her so much. They love her.

She did show up and was pleasant. However, when I arrived home an hour early I just covered that she had another dog in my house and had not discussed this with me. Had we discussed it in advance it may not have been an issue but the fact that she was trying to hide it from me was an issue. Also, There were at least five areas where my dogs have Peed and it was not cleaned up. Which tells me they were not being walked as often as they should have been.

A typical day

I would normally come to stay in your home for your vacation. I can also take your dog to my home. I house sit also. If you are out for the day only, I will take stay with your dog all day. The advantage of staying in your home is the feel of security for your pet in own environment and all his/her own toys and bed, without you bringing it to my home and disrupting the schedule. I will keep to the same schedule as you do. I can administer medicine if necessary and I will love your pet like you do. Please note that my day rate is for 8 hours. Any additional time is charged as another day.

Kate can host up to 2 pets per night
Does your dog travel well by car if necessary? Does your dog socialize well with other dogs? Please not that if you want me for days without overnight, the time I would expect to be there is around 8 hours. If you are on vacation and this is likely to be a 9-12 hour day or more, there will be additional charges.
