If Mowgli was female :)

Pet care experience

I grew up on an exotic animal farm from livestock to kinkajous, coatis, genets, falcons, reptiles, lemurs and aquatic animals. My parents still have 14 dogs.. I pet sit for them as well as their falcons and tortoises. I have a love and passion for animals. I have two dogs and a cat of my own. They are all extremely friendly to people and animals. My cat is a neighborhood celebrity and thinks he's a dog. If I am not at work I am either spending time at home hanging out with the animals or I am outdoors taking them on walks or hikes. I love to take my Bulldog paddle boarding :) I have a fenced yard and my roommate works from home. We have a nice yard and neighborhood to walk the dogs. If you need me to watch your animals at your house I am more than happy to check in on them as much as you need. I would treat and care for your pets as how I would expect my own to be treated. I will make sure they are loved and cared for :)

Kate took great care of the pups and was extremely helpful and reliable in dealing with an unexpected house emergency. She housesat while i was traveling . Her full time job is reasonably flexible so she did three drop-ins per day to check on the dogs, once early in the AM, once in the afternoon and once in the evening. That may not work for people with young puppies or animals that require more constant or extended supervision, but my dogs are grown so that worked fine for us. Everything was in order when I got home so she also took good care of the house , reached out to me immediately when the AC stopped working, and coordinated with neighbors as needed in handling that to make sure my pups were safe. Would definitely recommend Kate!

i have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs that can keep your fur babies company. If you are wanting me to come by your home, I can come and let them out and take them on a walk/play their favorite games for an hour or so and just keep them company to make sure they're doing okay.

Information Kate K. would like to know about your pet

If your fur baby has any special needs, medications or overall care that you prefer. If they have separation anxiety or shy with strangers. That way I can try to avoid any stressful situations for them.

A typical day

We can play their favorite games, walks, fetch, tricks for treats. Or if there is a specific game they like we can do that too!
