Safety, trust & environment

When taking care of pets I like to keep things consistent with their usual routine by making sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get regular walks, and plenty of attention and love. I aim to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away!

Information Kate L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs or behaviors so I can provide the best care possible. This includes things like feeding schedules, energy levels, and any anxieties/triggers. I’m comfortable with a wide range of breeds and temperaments and always aim to match my care to what makes your pet feel safest and happiest!!

A typical day

I'm all about making sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for. We’ll go on walks, get plenty of playtime in based on their energy level, and spend time just hanging out so they feel at ease. I like to keep things balanced with activity and calm time, giving lots of attention, affection, and care throughout the day.

Reliable and Loving Pet Care

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, which has shaped my understanding of their needs, routines, and personalities. I’ve always been involved in caring for my own family pets, including feeding, walking, and giving them consistent attention. Beyond that, I’ve pet sat overnight and walked dogs for neighbors, friends, family, and others. Through these experiences, I’ve developed a strong sense of responsibility and feel comfortable caring for dogs with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels.

I highly recommend Kate. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs—this isn’t just a job for her. She’s always upbeat and enthusiastic, and Pepper absolutely lights up when she arrives… honestly, she even recognizes her car and gets excited before she’s at the door! She’s super reliable which makes everything so easy and stress-free. I never, ever worry about how my dog is being treated—she’s patient, loving, and would never be anything but caring with any dog. It truly feels like she loves all dogs like her own, and that means everything. I trust her completely and couldn’t recommend her more.

Kate has consistently been our dogs' favorite sitter. She takes excellent care to walk them, care for them, and give them treats. She never leaves without giving them a large amount of pets and attention. Whether it is a quick drop in or an overnight stay, we always know our two dogs are in good hands with Kate. The tail wags say it all.
