Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Kate! I have helped raised dogs and cats from puppies and kittens since 2004. Before that and ever since, I've cared for individual needs of my own pets, neighbors' pets, and have also found lost dogs and cared for them until I found their owners. My dog, Sadie, had a skin allergy to dry food and outdoor elements, so I cooked batches of "people food" for her 3 - 4 times a week, and bathed her every 5 - 7 days by veterinarian's orders. I even made chicken jerky for her 10th birthday party so our friends could feed her healthy treats! I also rescued a bearded dragon from starvation and depression. Upon learning a friend's roommate had left town unexpectedly and his dragon had stopped eating, I visited the home, subsequently subletting the vacant room, to care for the reptile. I spent time gaining his trust, bathing him, and holding him, bringing him back to a healthy weight and hygienic environment.
Reviews
Nate and Kate are fantastic. They stayed at our house for a week and took care of Kaley, our soft coated Wheaten terrier and Kiwi, our parrot. Kaley is getting older and is on meds. Nate and Kate made sure she was well taken care of. I highly recommend Nate and Kate.
I so appreciate the great attention given to Bistro while I was away. Kate did a wonderful job keeping my very picky dog Bistro eating and happy while I was gone. I came home to a spotless house and a happy dog! Can't ask for anything better when leaving your sweet pet at home while traveling. Thank you Kate for being so wonderful and we will see you again!
Kate & Nate are awesome! They have done an amazing job with our two kittens multiple times! I highly recommend them!
Kate and Nate are excellent dog care givers. We appreciate how responsive they are and how loving they’ve been with our dog. We look forward to continuing to work with them.
About Kate & Nate R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My partner, Nate, often referred to as Cat Dad, is a natural animal magnet. Despite his 6'5 frame and potentially loud presence, he is a patient and gentle giant who can walk the strongest dog and soothe the smallest kitten, but won't do so at the same time. We will communicate with pet owners as often as they would like. Some of our clients have requested photos directly via text or email, rather than through the app. Other clients have requested we don’t send photos, just text updates. We will gladly send as many photos and updates as you would like!
Information Kate & Nate R. would like to know about your pet
We like to know certain unique details about your dog, like food preferences or environmental allergies, whether or not they like belly rubs (because not all of us do) and any other traits that make your dog special. ** Please note, we send updates and photos to our clients 100% of the time, but will sometimes send them to a direct contact, rather than through the Rover app, by pet-parent requests.
A typical day
We love to go on walks, whether they're 2 miles, 6 miles, or 5 miles twice a day! Depending on your dog's health and stamina, we can walk around the block, or have a relay walk if your dog has more energy than just one of us! We can also go to secure local dog parks and throw the ball if leash time is too boring!

Availability
We currently work from home, so whether we need to take a break for a walk or bring our computers to your house for sitting, we're flexible! Since there are two of us, there is almost always someone available to stay with your fur-babies for as long as needed!
