Safety, trust & environment

I have two cats and a German Shepherd mix! I have experience with dogs, cats, smaller mammals, and horses! My sister and I do some agility work with the pup, and I love to take my cats on day trips with me- they both walk on a leash! I'm happy to send you all the pictures in the world of your animals while I'm with them, report to you the exact mileage of walks, and love to snuggle on the couch with them if I'm house-sitting. I don't mind if you have cameras in your house to watch your pets; I just appreciate being told in advance.

Information Kate N. would like to know about your pet

I appreciate all medication and vet information, as well as an emergency contact, both on your application and written down at the house so I can account for any unforeseen events. If your pet is bad with other animals, specific demographics of people, or has any certain quirks that might catch me off guard, I'd love to know in advance- no judgment- my dog hates men in baseball hats!

A typical day

I set my alarms to whatever time your pet normally wakes up. Depending on your preferences, I'd love to take your dog to a dog park or body of water near your house or on a walk on a larger path nearby. If you and your pet prefer a homebody/stay-in style, I love nothing more than playing till they're tuckered out and then pet snuggles and watching a movie or reading a good book.

Pet care experience

I love animals and have volunteered at Middleburg Humane Shelter and fostered for them for the past 5 years. My favorite types of dogs are larger working dogs, but the smaller pups require a more delicate skill set that I'm thrilled to provide. I have experience with dog training and am able to be as strict or lax with your pets as you'd prefer.

Kate did great with our pups over a 6-day trip. House looked great when we came back. Would recommend for pet sitting and will book with her again next time the need arises!

We had a wonderful experience with Kate! She did a fantastic job with our puppy and treated him with so much care and attention. It was obvious right away that she genuinely loves animals, and we felt completely comfortable leaving him in her hands. We’ll absolutely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, and great with puppies!
