Pet care experience

Let us love on your furbabies!

You're pup(s) will be spoiled as the only dog in our home. We currently do not have any pets of our own and have found it to be a wonderful advantage to dogsitting and loving up on your furbaby as they get to be the center of attention. I've taken care of dogs, cats & horses since I was a young child. My two sons, ages 19 and 13 are dog crazy and love to take care of and love up on all the doggies that come to stay with us.

Kate was wonderful with Duncan. She gave daily updates and was super responsive. We'd definitely book her again.

I can’t say enough good things about Kate! Her attention to detail and her care for our pup immediately put me at ease. This was our very first experience with Rover and I can say without a doubt that we would use Rover AND Kate again!

Peejay had an amazing time with Kate, she was so well cared for and happy from the photos and when I picked her up. She’s a dog who loves long walks and Kate took her on many wonderful walks in the Forest Preserves nearby. Will 100% use Kate again!! ❤️🐕

Our Oreo was very well taken care of. We received lots of pictures and good communication. We will definitely have Kate watch Oreo for our next vacation!

Schedule

I work just 10 minutes from the house and love to come home in lunch to give the pups some love and a bathroom break. I greatly enjoy daily walks outside and would love the company of your dog to join me!

Safety, trust & environment

We do not have a fenced-in yard but enjoy taking the dogs on as many walks as they need each day. Your furbaby will be spoiled and loved on as much as they will allow in this house. They are welcome to sleep in my son’s bed with him or we can set up a crate/den/safe space for them to have their own space as well. We follow your instructions on daily feeding, medication, and walk schedules so that your dog gets to stick as close to its normal schedule as possible while adjusting to a new place while you're gone.

A typical day

We will provide nice long walks where they can take in all of the smells, fun playtime with any of the toys that you provide, and loads of snuggles and love.
