Pet care experience

Professional Pet Care for 20+ years

Hello neighbors, I'm Kate, I've had pets (cats, dogs, rabbits, turtles, fish...) for my whole life! I had my last dog, Tucker for nearly 18 years and look forward to treating your pet family like my own. I am a certified reiki practitioner and death doula, and have been blessed to be able to support several canine clients in their closing periods. If you need specialized “dog hospice” service, please reach out, and we can discuss. And if you want something challenging for a wild pup, I also offer daily hikes: $60 (message me) DAYCARE HOURS: 9-5 extended stay (up to 4 hours): $25 for 1 dog / $35 for 2 dogs

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am a Wilderness First Responder, and also trained in various animal emergency situations, can administer pills, inhalers, and injections. In addition to a lifetime of my own pets, I have many years of professional pet care experience, as well! If you're worried about your pup's breed or behavioral issues--fear not. I had 12 wonderful years with a pit bull (despite some aggression) and I started out in pet care at a bully breed facility in Chicago that specialized in dogs no one else would take. If you think this situation applies to you, we can chat about special pricing and situations for your needs. In my years of petcare, I have had many high profile and celebrity clients, and I am comfortable handling whatever procedures you need to keep you feeling safe with someone new in your home. Please just let me know what you need.

Boarding • May 04, 2026

Kate was absolutely amazing. We were in a tough spot last minute when we realized our Airbnb didn’t allow dogs, and she stepped in without hesitation to take care of Leia and suki. She treated them like her own from the moment they arrived. She sent pictures every single day and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. On top of that, she’s just genuinely kind, friendly, and easy to work with. We seriously couldn’t appreciate her more. Highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets.

I’m so happy to have found K to take care of my little fur baby! He had the best time ever and I loved all the adventures he got to go on! I appreciated all the videos and photos and how professional K was with everything. I will 100% be using her services again!

Doggy Day Care • Oct 18, 2025

Our dog loved going to Kate’s place! She is a dog lover who took great care of our pooch at her home, which has a backyard for playtime. Kate also took him on several walks and sent a report card every day. Fortunately Kate was available on short notice, which we are grateful for. Highly recommend!

Kate was so good to our boy River! She communicated and worked with his needs! He enjoyed hanging with Tucker, and was so good by the time we picked him up.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, diet, medication, anxiety, or behavioral triggers (such as barking when behind a fence or aggression on leash). It's also helpful to know how to make your pet feel safe and calm for moments I do need to step out, if applicable--what's your routine for entering and exiting, etc?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
