Dog lover looking to help!

Pet care experience

Hi I am Kate, I am a speech language pathologist and I would love to be able to help out with your dogs in the city when able— I couldn't love dogs more! I have many years of experience caring for dogs. I have had two family dogs growing up my whole life, whom I have always loved walking and caring for when I am home. I am active and love to take dogs on long walks or runs! I can play with your dog for as long as they will let me! I have had experience caring for dogs as small as pomeranians and as big as large golden retrievers! I am willing to walk, watch your dog over night as well as pop in during the day! Thank you so much! Don't hesitate to ask any questions!

Kate was great! Super calm and sweet, which was great for our Dee’s temper with other dogs!

Kate is a great dog walker, she is never late and is a dogs best mate!!! Good with people better with dogs, i must say i would trust kate with the security of my young pup!! He is always a joy when she is near! Her presence is motherly and her actions are of kindness. Her dog walking expertise is out of this world! She has changed my dogs life for the better forever and ever! I implore other canine owners to consult with kate to understand the power of dog sitting! I say this with great pleasure and honor that kate is the best in the bizz!!!

Kate would be a perfect candidate to watch your pets for various reasons. First of all Kate is a lover of dogs, she has loved and cared for two of her own dogs her whole life, therefore she has a lot of experience. Besides her love of dogs Kate is also reliable, punctual, and most importantly responsible. Always doing what is asked of her and more. She will go above and beyond to make sure your dogs are living comfortably while in her care. Finally, Kate will put her heart and soul into taking care of your animals while their owners are away and make sure to show them all the love they deserve!

Kate is a trustworthy and extraordinary dog caregiver. She has taken great care of our pug Sophie everytime we've needed to go out of town for a majority of Sophie's life now. We used to avoid leaving town because we feared with Sophie's breathing problems, the fear of being alone or having someone new in the house would cause her to have severe issues. But Sophie grew a strong liking for Kate and you can see that Kate really goes beyond "taking care" of her and puts the effort and love into creating a strong bond with her. We never have worried since and Sophie is thrilled to see her whenever she stops by.
