Teacher with a flexible schedule!

Pet care experience

I'm excited to be your potential dog sitter! I live with my husband and my 2 dogs. My pups are both rescue dogs, Meyran, our 4 year old comes from a lab rescue, and Schenley, our 2 year old, came from the SPCA in Eatontown. I trained both of my dogs mostly on my own, focusing on basic commands, loose leash walking, and general etiquette around people and food. My pups aren't perfect, but I'm proud to say that they love life and people love to be around them (including kids). <3 I honestly enjoy pet sitting because let's be real can anyone ever get enough puppy love? I am a middle school teacher which allows a ton of flexibility in the summer, and during the school year, I am home much earlier than the average workday. Not only did I grow up with pets, but I have been dog sitting informally (for friends and family) and formally (for Rover) for the past 10 years combined. I look forward to meeting your pet sometime soon!

Kate is literally the BEST rover find! Our neighbors have literally told us she is so sweet with the dogs and she treats them as if they were her own! We have two pit Bull mixes and they can be a bit of a handful and Kate is literally the sweetest! She sends updates multiple times a day and is always checking in. Kate has watched our dogs twice now and I wouldn’t use anyone but her!

Kate was kind, punctual, attentive, honest, thorough, and reliable. We love our pets immensely and feel unequivocally safe leaving them in her extremely capable hands. Thank you again. Wouldn’t think twice rebooking.

Kate is amazing! She took such great care of Maci and texted me photos, updates and was such a gracious house sitter! We love Kate and can’t wait to use her again! Highly recommend! We have a pitbull who can be very stubborn at times and Kate did amazing with her! Thank you so much Kate!

Kate is amazing! Cannot say enough praises about her puppy sitting skills. She was so kind and caring with our puppy. She went above and beyond and took care of the puppy with everything puppy needed. It’s like having a family member take care of your pet. We fully trust her and will always want to puppy sit our pet. Thank you so much Kate! You are a very kind person and haven’t come across someone who truly loves pet and enjoys training pets. You are so patient and nurturing. Thanks again!
