Love Dogs+Very Flexible Fair

Pet care experience

I love dogs - will walk, feed, cuddle, - it will be beaches and parks and rides in the car (IF that suits your pet;) I do other things like go to yoga, errands, and work some hours outside of my own home business. Bark collars are wonderful for barkers so that everyone feels at ease. Local Newporter with great references and a love for dogs/cats. I am very flexible but do have some committments of course.. Dogs will get plenty of exercise, sunshine, snuggles, and won't be bored all day! Looking forward to caring for your pet and taking him/her for great walks in the fresh air! I'm a super traveler and bring my pet across the world but appreciate when folks help me out with my sweet pet so I love this site!

Kate was a great hostess to our little Nellie. Kate kept Nellie busy and gave her plenty to do including walks, beach-play and even swimming! Nellie was comfortable and cared for nicely during her stay at Kate’s lovely home.

Kate took great care of my dog, Cooper. She took him on daily long walks and sent pictures and updates. We will be using her again next time we are in Newport!
