Loves All Dogs & Cats - Will Run

Pet care experience

I’m from Chicago, lived in Seattle for four years, and am back in Wheaton, IL. I love having my friend’s and family’s pets around and would be honored to keep your pet(s) company when you can’t! I have been working with Rover since May of 2018, have a lifetime of experience with all kinds of pets and am a true animal lover. I have an eight year old cat of my own and plan to get a dog as soon as I find a place to settle down. I am comfortable and confident working with all different ages, sizes and breeds of both dogs and cats. I have administered numerous kinds of medications in various forms including injections and have worked with many animals that have special needs of all kinds. I’m used to working with multiple dogs and/or cats at a time and understand each pet has his/her own very unique set of traits and needs. Overnights cover a 24 hour period (ex: 9AM Monday to 9AM Tuesday) - any booking exceeding 24 hours will need to be discussed, planned and booked prior to the stay’s start date. For more than two dogs I charge $10 extra per night for the third and $5 extra per night for any more after the 3rd (4+). I don’t charge $17 per cat but it’s $3 extra if there are two cats ($20) - please remind me to modify before booking.

Kate was great with our kitties! She was communicative and send us cute photos with each visit to help us rest easy knowing our fury babies were well taken care of.

This is my 2nd time to have Kate do drop in visits for my cat. Love the pics and detailed report cards she sends daily. My cat obviously loves her. Would def have Kate take care of my kitty again. Thanks, Kate!

Kate did an amazing job and sent me a great summary and photo of Ollie while I was out of town. When I get back home he looked so relaxed and happy!

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure to treat my pets and other people’s like the precious fur babies that they are. Making pets feel as comfortable as possible is my top priority. I give them every bit of love and attention and make sure all their needs are exceeded.

Information Kate L. would like to know about your pet

I don’t have any specific breed preferences but would like to know any feeding, grooming and exercise instructions and anything I should look out for/be careful of ex: scared of loud noises, will chew shoes if not put up, will get into garbages, etc. I grew up with a yellow lab, multiple different kinds of terriers and chihuahuas. I especially love & have a soft spot for pit bulls - I lived with and helped raise one from a puppy. I have watched countless doodle mixes along with dachshunds, corgis, shepards, great danes and just about any other breed you can think of!

A typical day

I make sure to stick to the pup’s routine so they aren’t thrown off or stressed. I feed them at their usual time(s) and always leave out plenty of fresh water. We’ll play with their toys and go on a walk and I’ll always be sure to clean up after them and give them scratches.
