Affordable pet sitting/dog walking!

Pet care experience

I’m now offering free bathing/grooming services for any animal that needs daily brushing or for those that are more prone to rolling around in the mud. With house sitting, I also include a free cleaning service as well, since I like to leave the house more clean than when they left—no need to stress about cleaning after a nice vacation! I have 2 years of paid pet sitting/dog walking experience but I’ve been taking care of pets all my life! I have good experience with dogs with special needs including a blind cockapoo that I cared for myself. I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages from 8 weeks to 12 years old. Even though I’ve had paid experience with both dogs and cats so far. I’m an owner to three cats and have experience with smaller critters like hamsters, rabbits, Guinea pigs and even birds! Your pets will be in the best care when you’re away and I’m quick to learn any needs that your pets require to make sure your pets are happy and healthy the whole time you’re gone!

This was Dee and Dennis’s first time meeting a stranger and they were expectedly shy. But Kate did a great job making sure they had everything they needed and kept me updated on that they were eating and drinking plenty even if they hid during a visit. They still came right back out when I got home so they were clearly well taken care of. Thanks Kate!

Kate did a great job taking care of our dog! He is a 1 year old German shorthaired pointer with lots of energy! She took him for a walk and played with him the whole time! She showed up on time and followed all our instructions! She sent us updates and real time pictures as well. We already booked her for multiple dates this summer! We highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

When dog walking, I love to take the dogs to the nearest park so they can explore and get some of that puppy energy out! Just let me know ahead of time if you need me to bring a longer lead for those park days since I never let any dogs off a leash! For house sitting, I make sure to follow any special instructions regarding your pets and make sure they get lots of play time! Lack of stimulation can lead to dogs being destructive so I try to invest as much playtime as I can depending on the energy level of your pup!

Information Kate M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are any special needs or behaviors that I need to account for. It’s important to know how they are on a leash and how they are with other animals.

A typical day

A typical day goes hand in hand with how I’d care for your pup! Lots of physical and mental stimulation, which can involve teaching your pup some new games and tricks if you’re okay with that! I also love to take dogs to the park that’s by my house! There’s lots of different paths to take. Each time would be a new adventure!
