Pet care experience

Full-time Dog Enthusiast/ Lover

Dogs are always communicating to us, but it takes a lot of patience, love, and dedicated care to hear what they are saying. I consider this my "gift" in life - to hear what the dogs I love are asking and nothing makes me happier than meeting their needs and seeing them happy, healthy, and well cared for. I've had dogs all my life and been responsible for caring for the dogs in my home since I was 3 years old. Immediately upon graduating college I got my first dog, Theo, as a puppy and have cared for him well to be the happy, healthy, well-trained boy he is. I also recently brought in our second pup, Juniper, who is 1.5 years old and the sweetest little girl you'll meet. Successfully raising two puppies taught me that taking care of dogs is serious work and takes patience and care. As someone who has cultivated a lifelong dog-obsession, having my own two dogs is the best part of my life. They are without a doubt my children, and I understand well that leaving your dogs in someone else's care is truly a practice in trusting someone with the most important thing in your life.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My pets are no. 1 priority in our house. They eat the best food, get daily enrichment toys, and enjoy walks and park visits daily. They are total snuggle bugs so even when I'm working, there's always a dog on my lap. When I'm away from my pets, I find myself reaching left or right subconsciously to pet them because they are always by my side at home.

I’ve known Kate for over 10 years, and she is the most kind, trustworthy, and reliable person, and dog owner, I know! Her two dogs are extremely sweet, well-mannered, and get along great with my 4 year old boxer mix. Kate has watched my dog on numerous occasions while I’ve been traveling for work, and he always comes back to me happy and healthy. I highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for a pet sitter! 😊

I can't recommend Kate highly enough! She's thoughtful and considerate, and always goes the extra mile. She took the dogs on consistent walks, sent us fun photos, and we came home to find the dogs happy, healthy, and well looked-after. I absolutely would hire Kate again!

My friend recommended Kate to watch my dogs after my original dogsitter cancelled last minute. We use her all the time now! She is super friendly and our dogs love her! Definitely, definitely recommend! Two paws up!

Kate is thoughtful and conscientious, and my dog absolutely adores her. Kate is communicative and professional, and kind. I love my dog more than anything so knowing I can count on Kate to care for her when I am away makes all the difference. Whether for an occasional walk, drop-in visit, or more, I highly recommend Kate.

Kate is an extremely compassionate, kind and trustworthy caretaker. She loves her dogs, and all pets with all of her heart and I would trust her any day to care for my pet and more! If you want to have full peace of mind when finding care for your pet, I highly recommend her as a caretaker.

I'm always a dog mom 24/7, who works from home with a highly flexible job. My favorite part of the day is any time I'm interacting with my own pups, and I love to see other dogs in the neighborhood or at the dog park. With my being entirely flexible, I would love to fill my time with, well, more dog time!

Let me know your dog's quirks, their favorite things, what they're afraid of, and anything else you'd want the person entrusted with their care to know. Nothing is too small or insignificant to share, and I take everything to heart.
