Availability

I work fully remote and am genuinely home all day, every day, especially when I'm taking care of a dog. My last 10-day boarding stay, the dog was alone for a total of 4 hours. That's just how I operate! That means real supervision, not just check-ins, with regular outdoor time, walks on nearby trails, enrichment breaks, and plenty of couch time. I'm available for boarding and daycare seven days a week. I love to do a meet and greet plus a trial daycare day before a first boarding stay, just so our dogs can get acquainted and I can make sure your pup feels at home.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet stays in a calm home with a large fenced yard, a secondary internal gate for safe off-leash separation, and a dog door for supervised outdoor access. I'm dog and cat first-aid certified and comfortable with crating, meal separation, and managing sensitive or special-needs animals. Our resident dog is gentle and very submissive, so new dogs tend to settle in quickly. I'm home all day, so nothing goes unsupervised.

Information Kate M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, quirks, or behaviors so I can tailor their care and keep them comfortable. I'm dog and cat first-aid certified and happy to follow any routines, training cues, feeding schedules, or medication needs. I can also separate pets for meals or downtime to help everyone feel safe and relaxed. Anything your pet needs, I'll make sure they have it!

A typical day

We start with backyard time and a walk on the nearby trails, then work in food puzzles, fetch, training practice if you're working on commands, and plenty of downtime. I have toy bins, extra beds, crates, bowls, and even a dog bath with grooming supplies for post-adventure cleanup. If they enjoy other dogs, my resident dog is a friendly, calm playmate. And yes, couch snuggles are mandatory. I love sending updates and photos throughout the day, but I'm happy to adjust based on what works for you. Some pet parents love constant check-ins, others prefer a daily summary. Just let me know your style!

Big Yard, Full-Time Care

Pet care experience

I've cared for dogs and cats for 13+ years, including two years working with a certified dog behaviorist, so I'm comfortable with everything from puppies to reactive dogs and anxious pups. I'm dog and cat first-aid certified, and safety is always my top priority. Your dog gets a large fenced yard, nearby walking trails, and a calm, submissive resident dog who loves making new friends, all in a home where someone is genuinely present all day, every day. I keep my groups intentionally small (never more than 3 dogs) so every pup gets real one-on-one attention, not just supervised chaos.

Kate is incredible! My two dogs love spending time at her house. Awesome yard and space to play. Kate has a great attention to detail especially when it comes to my dog’s care instructions and personalities. She is an amazing communicator and sends pictures, which makes me feel comfortable leaving my dogs with her. Bucky, the resident dog, is so sweet and my dog’s new best friend. I highly recommend Kate!! We look forward to continue being repeat clients. See you again soon.

Kate was a perfect sitter for our dog! Our big German Shepard can be a bit unruly but she kept a good handle on him. She also updated us daily about how he was doing, with pictures and videos. She even brought him some Christmas gifts which was incredibly sweet. Kate was also super accommodating of my celiac disease. Overall couldn’t have asked for better!!!

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.
