Pawsitively Passionate Animal Lover

🐾🩷Hi, I’m Kate—a lifelong animal lover who’s never met a dog I didn’t want to be friends with! My animal loving journey has included pet sitting, dog bathing, groomer training, volunteering with animal rescues, and caring for pups of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I took a break from new clients, but am back in business. I would love to meet some new pups because nothing makes me happier than wagging tails and knowing your furry family member feels safe, loved, and right at home. Whether your pup loves zoomies, sniffaris, fetch marathons, or championship level couch cuddles, I’m here to make their stay paws-itively unforgettable! 🐶❤️

Kate is always on time and responsible! I appreciate that for my weekly walk scheduled with her for my dog. My dog loves Kate and she takes such good care of her

Kate was awesome. She stayed overnight at our house with our pups for a full week while we were out of town. We got daily updates and pics to keep us at ease. On our scheduled day to return our flight got canceled and Kate was able to stay an extra night. A huge help for us. We would use her again for sure!

Dog Walking • Mar 12, 2024

After over 2 months in a shelter, my dog had become aggressive and no longer followed commands he had known for 3 years. He was not the same dog I had left behind while I was in the hospital. Kate spent time with him and bonded deeply with my dog. She took him on long walks and played with him upon returning home. She was not afraid of his behavior which had become aggressive. Kate showed genuine love for my little guy as he slowly came back to his normal self. I will not hesitate to use her again for long and short periods of time. Kate is the dog whisperer. I highly endorse her. Both my dog and I love her. She's a gem!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

🐾 I work a 9-to-5, so I’m available for early-morning chirps, evening zoomies, and weekend adventures. Weekday daytimebbb care isn’t available, but when I’m off the clock I’m all about wagging tails, purrs, and happy paws🐾

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

🏡 In-Home Boarding Your pup will enjoy a cozy home away from home! I live in a pet-friendly, third-floor apartment with elevator access and a secure balcony for relaxing (always supervised). Our community has plenty of walking paths, ponds, and beautiful green spaces where we can enjoy leisurely sniff-filled strolls while watching ducks, geese, squirrels, and other local wildlife. It’s the perfect setting for pups who love exploring and getting plenty of fresh air.🦆🦢🪿🐿️ 🐾 House Sitting & Drop-In Visits 🏡 When I’m caring for your pet in your home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. Whether I’m staying overnight or stopping by for drop-in visits, I’ll follow your care instructions closely—from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, and favorite routines. I’ll also send regular photo updates, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love while you’re away.

A typical day

🐶 A Day in the Life Every pup is different, so I love tailoring each visit or stay to their unique routine! Whether your furry best friend is a fetch fanatic, professional squirrel watcher, champion napper, or treat connoisseur, I’ll follow the schedule that keeps their tail wagging. During the week, dogs staying with me should be comfortable with a typical workday routine, while evenings and weekends are filled with walks, sniffaris, playtime, belly rubs, cuddle sessions, and plenty of one-on-one attention. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe, happy, and right at home—even when you’re away. 🐾❤️

⚠️Every pet is unique, so the more I know, the better! Please let me know ahead of time about your dog’s personality, routines, medications, allergies, fears, favorite toys, energy level, or any special care they may need. My goal is to create a safe, happy, tail-wagging experience that’s customized just for them. If your pup has a history of aggression toward people or other animals, please let me know before booking so we can determine whether it’s the right fit for everyone.
