Reliable, Dedicated Pet Care

Pet care experience

ABOUT ME: I grew up on a farm caring for a variety of animals and have owned/fostered a veritable farm of my own (tri-pawd Goldens, Yorkies, senior dogs, Pits, Aussies, Maine Coons, bunnies, chinchillas, hedgehogs, ferrets, you name it!). My goal is to make your time away from your pet as care-free as possible. I’m open to specific requests and I’ll always text photos/updates and ask about your preferences (I do know basic dog training for those who’ve been working on something specific & want to keep up the lessons while you're away).

We love having Kate come over for routine drop in visits for walk and play with our 50lb. fur baby! She is reliable, trustworthy and always posts updates on how the visit went. We know our dog is in good hands with Kate!

Very attentive and discovered something that I need to get my pup to the vet right away.

Information Kate L. would like to know about your pet

GOOD FOR ME TO KNOW: I love pets in all shapes and sizes, of all temperaments and ages! I've dealt with (and owned) antisocial dogs before, so I know how to avoid trouble when I'm looking out for it, but that's something I would definitely love to know beforehand, so don't be shy to mention it if you have a fussy dog! Also any dietary restrictions, as I carry treats on my person at all times and would hate to give your pet something that upsets their tummy.

A typical day

You & your pet call the shots! I’ve done all kinds of stays, and depending on what you need, I’m flexible on price, as well. Message me so we can come up with something that works for you. Aside from the standard walks, stays, drop-ins, & housesitting, I'm open to setting up play dates with my dog Sylvie and your dogs -- I'm happy to let them run around the apartment while I work from home. Have a busy day at the office? I can bring my laptop to your home to work alongside your pets in their own environment. Working from home, but too busy for dog duty? I can pick your pet up for a hike or dog park fetch sesh or bring your pets to my place so I can keep them company & let them out while I work from home. Need your dog bathed before your parents come in town but just don’t have the time to do it? Call me! Planning on being out of the house for a long day and need someone to just stop by and make sure your new puppy isn’t howling or tearing things up? I’m happy to poke my head in, let your dog out, and give them some CBD treats =] Need someone to give your pet midday medicine? I can do a short pop-in to take care of that! Want your dogs socialized? I can take them to the park!

SCHEDULE: I'm a freelance writer, so I frequently find myself working from home, on flexible hours, or even "between jobs." Over the years I have used WAG & Rover as a way to make a little pocket change and bridge the gap between writing gigs.
