Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I know from experience with my own cats and dog how hard it is to find reliable walkers and sitters.

Whether I'm boarding your pup while you vacation or taking them out for a spin while you're at work, I will adore your pets like my own!

Information Kate M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know how your dog likes to be walked, and I'll do my best to meet their needs! Any tips for making them comfortable will be heeded. Please include whether I can offer your dog treats and what commands you use, if any, so I can reinforce training.

A typical day

Dogs will be walked with as needed breaks for sniffing, rolling in the grass, belly rubs, and rest! There are a variety of green spaces and parks for your dog to visit depending on their walking range.

Kate has always been excellent. From adjusting our bookings to taking note of new pet care instructions, she clearly has genuine love for our furbabies and they love her back, as much. Thank you Kate for the most excellent care that you always give to our family!
