The Dog Whisperer!

Loving Pet Care in a Spacious, Dog-Friendly Home! 🐾 Hi, I’m Kate, your pup’s favorite sitter! 🐶💕 I provide loving, reliable care in my large, dog-friendly home with plenty of space to play, relax, and feel comfortable. My Home & Setup: 🏡 Spacious Single-Family Home with a Fenced Yard: Safe, secure, and perfect for outdoor playtime! 🐾 Crates, Beds, and Toys: I have both large and small crates for crate-trained pups, baby gates, dog beds, and plenty of toys. 💻 I Work from Home: Your dog will never be alone! They can hang out by my desk, nap nearby, or enjoy the yard during breaks. 🚶‍♀️ Daily Walks: Regular walks based on your pup’s needs, energy level, and the weather. Experience & Care: 🐕 All Ages & Energy Levels: From high-energy dogs to gentle seniors, I’ve cared for them all. 💊 Medication Administration: Experienced with pills, injections, and other medication needs. 👧 Kid-Friendly Pups Only: I have a four yr old daughter who’s been around dogs her whole life. She’s gentle, respectful, and knows how to give dogs their space. Availability & Drop-Off Details: 💼 I work remotely in senior living sales, which means I’m home most of the time, but I do occasionally have calls, appointments, or off-site tours during the day. ⏰ Weekdays: Please reach out first if you need a dropoff or pickup between 9 AM – 2 PM, as I may be on calls or out in the field during that window. Need an early dropoff? I offer night-before drop-offs at no extra charge! 📆 Weekends: Full availability for boarding, sitting, and walks. Flexible dropoff and pickup times all weekend. 💌 Special Requests Welcome! I also offer wedding pet sitting (transportation for photos, overnight care, etc.). Message me to discuss your needs! Your pup will get endless love, attention, and care while staying with me. Whether they’re playing in the yard, joining me for a walk, or lounging by my desk, they’ll feel right at home. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🐶💙🐾

Kate and her daughter took great care of our older dog. She sent photos everyday to keep us well informed and assured that Baxter was enjoying his week away from home. Will definitely use her again and highly recommend using Kate to take care of your 4-legged family member.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pup’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! 🐶💙 I recently moved to a single family home in downtown Rochester, offering even more space for dogs to relax, roam, and play. 🏡 Spacious & Secure Home: Plenty of cozy spots for pups to lounge and feel at home. 🔒 Fenced In Backyard: A fully enclosed, secure yard, which I check regularly to ensure safety. 📹 24/7 Security Cameras: I have cameras inside and outside, allowing me to monitor the pups at all times, including full views of the yard. 🚧 Baby Gates on Each Floor: Keeping pups safe by blocking off stair access when needed. With a safe, loving environment and constant supervision, your pup will be in great hands whether they’re enjoying the fenced yard, hanging out inside, or going for a fun walk! 🐾💙

A Typical Day with Us, Adventure, Fun, & Play! No matter the weather, I’m always ready to keep your pup entertained and engaged! 🌦️ ☀️ On Sunny Days: You’ll find us out and about, whether it’s exploring scenic hikes, strolling to the park, or taking long walks along the river. Your pup will enjoy every moment of the fresh air and outdoor fun! 🌧️ Rain or Shine: Even when the weather isn’t ideal, I make sure your pup gets plenty of stimulation. At home, we turn things up with hidden treats, interactive toys, and exciting games to keep them mentally sharp and entertained! Your pup will never have a dull moment with us, whether they’re exploring the great outdoors or having a blast indoors! 🐾💙
