Home full time! Lots of love &walks
Pet care experience
There is nothing I love more than animals, which is why I’m on Rover. I have been dog sitting for dogs of all ages and needs for 12 years, and have had dogs my whole life, so I truly understand and love them. I’m home full time, so you can rest assured your dog will never be alone. I treat all dogs how I would want mine to be treated- I make sure they feel loved, happy, get lots of walks and are always safe! My experience with animals in addition to dog sitting: I worked with Beagle Freedom Project, fostering sweet dogs they saved from animal testing labs. They had never seen the outside world and I helped teach them everything, with a lot of love and patience. It was a tremendously heartwarming experience. Through this, and regularly volunteering at animal sanctuaries, I’ve learned so much and feel that I have the ability to connect with and care for any animal. I have a 15lb Jack Russell mix, Winston, who is very sweet and friendly with other dogs. He loves having a canine companion around (which is another reason I like doing Rover) and is very easy going; he follows their lead and adapts to their personality.
Reviews
Kate is so friendly and did a great job watching Rocco for us!
Kate took great care of my Jax! She knew exactly how to care for Jax especially with his separation anxiety. I appreciated the updated text messages and photos. She even was willing to do a meet and greet and let Jax slowly get acquainted with her and her dog Winston before Jax overnight stay. Definitely will be contacting Kate again when in need of a dog sitter.
My dog Riggy had a great time with Kate and Winston! Loved receiving the cute photo updates throughout the stay. I could tell Riggy was happy and very well taken care of! Thank you Kate!!
We couldn’t be happier with Kaytie! Lots of times when we pick our pup up from a sitter he seems extremely anxious but with her, he didn’t even want to leave! Would recommend Kaytie to anyone. She treated our pup like he was her own and provided great updates/pics throughout his stay.

My home is a very safe, dog friendly place. They are allowed on furniture, to sleep with me, etc. I live on Ocean ave, in North Santa Monica, where it is a quieter mostly residential area and more spacious for dogs. My place faces the amazing Palisades Park which is miles of green grass l walk the dogs at several times a day. I have multiple dog beds and a long protected balcony with furniture for the dogs to lounge on if they enjoy sun.

Information Kate K. would like to know about your pet
To best accommodate your dog, I like to know their age, activity level, dietary restrictions if any, and how they get along with humans and other dogs. Please let me know if they have any triggers or anxieties, and anything else I can do to give them the best stay here.
A typical day
I am very active and walk everywhere, so naturally I take dogs on a lot of long walks- in Palisades Park, my surrounding neighborhoods and along the beach. When not walking, I love a cozy cuddle session with the pups, and we also play a lot of fetch in this household! I have a ton of dog toys and Winston doesn’t mind sharing :)

Availability
I only work part-time and it’s fully remote so I am home the whole duration of your dogs stay to give them lots of love and attention. I am already on a schedule of feeding my dog, and taking him for lots walks and potty breaks, so yours will be well taken care of in our routine! If they have a specific routine, I can of course accommodate that as well.
