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!

Came home and my cats were calm and happy. Kate did a good job, and I will use her again!

Kate was one of the best pet sitters we have had. She did an amazing job taking care of our dog and cats for over a week while we were on vacation. She ensured they were happy and had company. Upon returning home the house was clean and she went above and beyond. We will definitely have Kate watch our pets again!

Kate did another amazing job taking care of our baby! She ensured he was happy, sent proof of life pics and treated our home with the utmost care! She is an awesome pet sitter and we will continue to use her as long as she is available!

Kate was an excellent house and pet sitter! She sent photos of our boy and he was very well cared for while we were gone! We've already booked twice since the first visit!

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!
