Kate was awesome and we would use her again! She kept us up to date on how are dog was doing and was very responsive if we had any questions. We would highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to watch your dog!

Kate was absolutely amazing! Polly is usually very nervous with new people, but as soon as we met Kate, Polly ran right to her wagging her tail. Kate was responsible, reliable, and sent lots of regular photo updates. She also checked Polly for ticks every day, which I hadn't asked her to do, but which I really really appreciated. Kate was also very flexible with our drop off and pickup, especially when we were coming back late from the airport. I can tell that Polly had so much fun! It means the world to be able to leave her with someone who is so warm and trustworthy. I would recommend Kate to anyone!

Kate took great care of Darla and gave her lots of attention and love. She sent us updates with pictures so we knew she was in good hands. We would recommend Kate without reservation.

Going on vacation normally has so level of stress for a pet owner: who will look care of them, will they be happy, will everything go smoothly while you are gone, etc. Having my dog, Wall•e, booked with Kate, I had none of those concerns. He felt perfectly at ease during our Meet & Greet, and based on the photos Kate sent, he seemed to settle in immediately! I also appreciated how often she kept me updated on how he was doing.

Schedule

Currently on a break from university, I have some flexibility to assist with walking your dog. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, providing companionship, responsibility, and joy. I believe that the combination of exercise and bonding fosters a meaningful and fulfilling connection.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets receive constant attention, a secure environment, and tailored activities. In clients' homes, I prioritize familiarity, adhering to routines, and ensuring a comfortable and safe atmosphere.

A typical day

I will begin by taking the dog for a walk around the neighborhood. If there is additional time available, we may head to a local park for socializing and exploring new scents. Following that, we'll engage in playtime, playing either fetch or tug-of-war.

Please inform me of any additional information I should be aware of in advance, such as exercise needs, allergies, and preferred safe spaces for your dog. Also, let me know if your dog prefers individual walks with me or enjoys socializing with other dogs of similar weight and size at a dog park.
