Safety, trust & environment

In my home I have a high need toy-sized Australian shepherd that is friendly with other animals, well loved and cared for. I live in a small gated community directly across from our fenced-in private dog park, so I can assure you that your pets will be safe in my care. I am capable of following any instructions given for care in your own home such as walking, feeding, playing, administering medicine, you name it! I have a pet hammock installed in the back seat of my car that I can buckle your pets harness into for safe transport as well :+) My policy is to always keep dogs leashed when not in a secure, fenced environment. I simply don't trust a dog's recall unless they are my own and I've personally trained them. If I observe anything concerning with a pet, I'll reach out to the owner right away to ensure it's not a serious issue. I know how important it is to be fully informed about my own pets, so I can provide immediate instructions and avoid unpleasant surprises later on

Information Kate M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your animal has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. Understanding their routine, health, temperament, and any special needs ensures safe, happy, and tailored care for every pet. :+)

A typical day

If your pet is more active we can enjoy walks, playful games, fetch, exploring parks and trails, and lots of cuddles and treats to make sure they have a good ol time. Let me know if there's any walking routes you normally take or activities they enjoy! If they aren't active or playful then I can spend time lounging with them. I'll make sure to keep you consistently updated with photos. Also, theyll get to listen to really cool music 😎

Pet care experience

Hi all, it's Kate here! Life long animal lover. I've lived with dogs both big and small since I was born. I am a dog owner of 10 years, well versed with training puppies and caring for seniors. I have a ton of availability this summer as I just finished up my job teaching art to children. Over the last two years I've had extensive experience doing private child/animal care for both cats and dogs. Id like to take care of your pets ❤️ I've taken care of, lived with, and rescued turtles, rodents, fish, cats, dogs, etc! I'm in my mid twenties and very soft spoken and gentle. I currently live in Ridgefield. I love all animals, and would love to care for yours! I would care for them as if they were my own!

Kate was an absolute delight. She was always quick to ask if there was anything else she could do for us. We would be happy to have her take care of our fur babies at any time in the future.

Kate is a fantastic sitter and literally did such a good job I'm ecstatic. Was great with communication and made the almost month time she watched my cats stress free. Absolutely recommend and will be booking with her again.

Kate is an unbelievably caring and compassionate person who provides excellent animal care. She shows so much love and attention to each dog that you would believe they belonged to her. She provides more than just the standard needs for a dog, but makes sure each animal has their individual needs met. You couldn't find a better caregiver for your dog than Kate.

Katelyn is a very kind, caring and trust worthy individual to everyone she knows and especially to animals. She loves dogs and would care for your dog as if it were her own. She is not a stranger to dogs as she has lived with dogs all her life and would provide a safe environment for your animal. I am certain Katelyn would prove excellent customer service.
