Highlights
Pet care experience
Luke, I am your paw-ther
Caring for pets is my full-time job and I have 22 years experience between my own pets and working with others. I strive to balance self assuredness with willingness to ask questions when it's necessary. I've owned very high energy dogs so I'm prepared to be outside in any weather. Special note for owners of Pit Bulls/Staffordshire terriers: I love pitties. I will never discriminate against your dog for their breed.

Kate also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I've owned dogs for most of my life so you can be sure I'll remember to do all requested tasks since I'm already used to taking care of them. I'm a naturally active person who enjoys trails, hills and long walks so your dog will benefit from joining me. I have lived with cats for 4+ years so I'm familiar with their care as well. I don't offer boarding in my home but if I meet your pet a few times and deem them a good fit, we could make an exception.
Ratings and reviews
You cannot put a value on how much it means to be able to leave your pet when you go on vacation and not have to worry. Our 14 year old German Shepherd absolutely adores Kate. We've booked them several times and really appreciate getting little updates several times a day with photos and check ins to let us know how Pippin is doing. ❤️
Kate again was great taking care of our cat.
Charlie and Thorin always enjoy their time with Kate!!
We absolutely love having Kate stay at our place with our dog. She takes such good care and our dog has so much fun!
Kate takes amazing care of our menagerie of fur babies.
Kate is the absolute best. Leaving our dog behind when we travel is always the hardest and most stressful part of going away, but Kate has pet sat for us a few times and they make it so much easier. Our dog adores Kate and she clearly gets the attention and love she wants while we're away. Kate takes good care of our place and goes out of their way to clean up. I can't recommend Kate enough!

Schedule
At this time, I can only accept lunchtime walks on weekdays depending on the time and location, due to commute time on the bus. I don't drive but am able to get to many locations within HRM.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsKate can host up to 6 drop-ins per day
- Is your dog friendly with other dogs? Does your dog have any history of aggressive behavior? Are any parts on your dogs/cats body sensitive? As mentioned above, I use the bus/ferry for transportation. This will require you to have some flexibility around the time of visits. I can assure you that the quality of my service will make up for a slight delay. We can discuss the possibility of delays during a meet & greet.
