The Dog Whisperer!

Pet care experience

Are you in need of a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter or dog walker? Look no further! My name is Kate, and I am here to provide top-notch care for your beloved furry friends. What sets me apart from other sitters? Well, besides being a passionate animal lover, I have a unique set of skills and experiences that make me the ideal choice for your pet's needs. Whether you require dog walking or pet sitting services, I am dedicated to going above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of your pets. One of my standout qualities is my expertise in puppy training. If you have a new furry addition to your family, I can assist in teaching them essential obedience commands and socialization skills. This not only helps create a harmonious household but also lays the foundation for a well-behaved and balanced adult dog. On the other hand, if you have a senior pet who requires special care and attention, I am well-versed in providing gentle and nurturing support. From administering medications to accommodating their specific needs, I understand the unique challenges that come with caring for aging pets and will ensure their comfort and safety at all times. In addition to my specialized skills, I am also highly reliable and flexible. I understand that life can be unpredictable, and I am committed to accommodating your schedule to the best of my ability. Whether you need regular dog walks during the day or overnight pet sitting while you're away, you can count on me to be there for your furry companions. Furthermore, I prioritize open communication with pet owners. I will keep you updated on your pet's activities, behavior, and any other relevant information. Your peace of mind is important to me, and I want you to feel confident that your pets are in capable and caring hands.

Kate did a great job taking care of our cat while we were on vacation. She was easy to work with, reliable, and prompt. I would absolutely book with her again for our next trip.

Our cats were so happy with Kate! She is a thoughtful, considerate, and kind pet sitter, which shows in her daily check-ins. We're beyond thankful and delighted with the care she provided.

Kate was amazing! She took excellent care of my dog, Bonnie, for a week while I went on vacation. Will 100% be using Kate again.

We are so very grateful. I was worried I wouldn't be able to vacation with my family due to our elderly dog, but Kate saved the trip. She was kind, helpful, very good with our dogs. She was in communication while we were gone and kept us in the loop. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you!!

Information Kate M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or qualities that I need to keep an eye out for! If my daughter is home with me, the pet being okay with kids is a must!

A typical day

I love to go for long hikes, walks to the playground with my daughter, and take the dogs to the beach! Anything outside and active for sure. If it is a cold or rainy day, I love to set up mentally stimulating things for the dogs to do like creating fun puzzles or hiding toys or treats around the house to find!

I work remotely and make my own schedule weekly! I am a single mom who has her 2-year-old daughter Wednesday evenings - Sunday mornings, yet my daughter is at her nanny's house on weekdays. I have a good amount of spare time to do walks, house sitting, dog boarding, and more!
