Experienced Dog and Cat Sitter
Pet care experience
- I’ve been a dog, cat, rabbit, and house sitter for the past five years. I’ve watched both neighbors’ and friends’ animals and homes. - I love all dogs and especially enjoy having them at my house to go on walks and cuddle - I LOVE goldens! - I can provide frequent walks and potty breaks since I work from home. I love taking dogs on long walks, if they’re up for it! - I live in Cincinnati, OH, near Kenwood mall. There’s a few parks nearby I’d love to check out. I just moved here from Cleveland! - While we don’t have a fenced-in yard, I still like to spend time outside (in the summer/fall) with dogs! I have a lead, if using it is permissible. - I live with my boyfriend and golden retriever puppy, Piper. While she can be hyper, it stays relatively quiet around here. Additionally, my boyfriend and I both work from home full time, so your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day. I work mostly* from home full time. Occasionally I need to step out for a couple hours to meet clients. Overall, I have a flexible schedule that allows for walks and a little play time throughout the day. In the evenings, we watch tv and/or play outside. I clean and vacuum before each dog visit so no pup finds any “treats” laying around. Since my boyfriend and I both work from home, we can keep our eyes on our visitors to make sure they’re not getting into anything that could harm them. We always keep dogs on their leashes when outside.
Reviews
Kate was friendly and very communicative during our dog's stay with her. She made our trip so much more enjoyable by instilling trust in her care and expertise. Highly recommend!!
Kate was great with our dog Moxie! She was very accommodating and flexible to our schedule and sent lots of great pics. I can tell she was well loved and spoiled with cuddles. She was very responsive and we booked quickly. We will definitely use Kate again!
Kate is amazing! I am so happy to have connected with her for taking care of my golden retriever Daisy. She sends detailed updates and lots of photos after every walk. It’s clear she’s very kind and loving to Daisy whenever she stops by, on top of taking her on varied walks. She is a great communicator, very responsive and reliable, and a pleasure to work with all around. Can’t recommend her enough!
I don’t know if there are words that can describe how incredible Kate was with my dog. I have a 2 year old rescue that is DEATHLY afraid of new humans. He had a really rough past and has some serious trauma. I had to take a trip for 5 days and Kate was such an angel and incredibly patient with him. She even agreed to meet him ahead of my trip so he could get somewhat acclimated to her. She sent me daily updates on his progress and was very communicative about his day to day activities. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.
About Kate M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Dogs remain supervised at all times. If my boyfriend and I need to leave at the same time, I will ask you what works best for your pet (free range, put in a room, put in a crate, etc.). I have a small yard I’m happy to set up a lead in, but I don’t allow dogs off-leash when they stay with me.
Information Kate M. would like to know about your pet
Before a dog stays, I like to know: - The general temperament of the dog and if they have any behavioral issues (resource guarding, shy, aggressive towards other dogs, etc.) - Meal schedule/times - Food allergies/what treats are permissible - If they get along with playful puppies!
A typical day
I recently moved to the area, so my boyfriend and I would love to take dogs to nearby parks to check them out. We’re also open to go anywhere you suggest! I’m also more than happy to take your dog to the dog park so long as it’s permissible and they have their rabies tag with them.

Availability
I work from home and thus have the flexibility to care for dogs around the clock. I will have virtual and in-person meetings from time to time, but my schedule allows me to take breaks when I want to.
