Pet care experience
Growing up with dogs my entire life and missing the presence of my family dog, I was devastated when begging our landlord for pet privileges returned no results. Over the course of my life, I've been responsible for my own dogs, volunteered at dog rescues and my local veterinary clinic, and dog-sat for both strangers and family friends. By walking dogs, I'm hoping to get as close to the experience of dog ownership as I can. I have a 9–5 desk job that allows me to work from home weekly (generally on Thursdays), and would love nothing more than to spend my work-from-home breaks, after-work hours, and weekends caring for your dog. I'm available for evening walks on weekdays, daytime and evening walks on Thursdays, and daytime and evening walks on weekends. I would also like to engage in some home visits and stays when availability permits.
Reviews
Kate has been a dog-lover since the day I met her. Compassionate for dogs big and small, there was no one I trusted more to watch my pup when I was away on trip or just needed someone to pop over for a quick walk. She is willing to go the extra mile, and that is truly what separates her from the rest. Our animals are a part of our family, so I think it is important to find someone who you know will do all that is necessary (and then some) to keep your furry family member happy and healthy. Look no further-you’ve found THE BEST dog caregiver!
Kate is a compassionate and attentive caregiver with a bright energy and thoughtful heart. Kate clearly has a strong love for animals and enjoys taking the time to make sure those animals are cared for. Whether she's playing fetch in the park or comforting a dog during a storm, Kate cultivates a caring relationship with any dog she meets. I highly recommend Kate to any dog owner looking for a reliable, responsible, and engaging caregiver!
Kate is a true dog lover! She has cared for my family’s dogs and has done a wonderful job. Kate was my roommate for 2 years, over the course of which we dog sat several different pups periodically. Kate was always immensely helpful and responsible when it came to caring for the pups we watched. I would trust her witb any doggo!

Skills
Information Kate M. would like to know about your pet
Aside from typical food and exercise requirements, I'd like to know about the dog's general likes, dislikes, behavior, and the type of environments with which the dog is familiar. I tend to prefer larger breeds and am used to labs and lab mixes!
A typical day
I will familiarize myself with the area, and note any nearby parks and dog parks for us to visit. I'd also love to take your dog to dog-friendly outdoor patios, the beach, and out for special treats!
