Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog friends > human friends
Everybody thinks their dog is the best and nobody is wrong! More dog friends than people friends and wouldn't have it any other way. I have experience caring for numerous dogs and have also completed several courses in Dog Behaviour/Training. I love dogs of all breeds and sizes! I am super flexible with accommodating your needs! Being a dog owner myself, I know how scary it can be to leave your best friends behind. I am here to provide you with confidence knowing they're in good hands so that you can enjoy your time away! Please message me with ANY questions you may have. I’d love to chat! Looking forward to loving your fur kids! **PLEASE NOTE: -It is important to note in your booking request if your dogs are friendly towards other dogs along with a general idea of their behaviour. I pride myself in ensuring your dogs stay is a safe and stress free experience!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kate is amazing! She is a kind person who loves animals. We truly felt we could not have found anyone better to leave our little guy with. Kate kept us updated on how he was doing and sent pictures. It was reassuring for us to know he was being taken care of in a home with someone who looked after him as if he were her dog. Highly recommend her. Thanks again Kate.
Once again Kate delivered great service!! We we’re a little nervous as had to leave Bear for an extended stay but he had the best time ever and Kate was really great at giving regular updates with pictures. We appreciate having someone as reliable and caring as her to watch Bear when we have to be away.
Kate is a sweet caretaker and KaPone was safe and comfortable in her care. As a bonus, Kate forwarded pictures of KaPone relaxing on a soft doggy bed as well as several on her couch, chillin! We feel comfortable to take him back next time we vacation! Thanks Kate and Rover for finding her! Bryan, Linda and KaPone.
Our family will definitely be booking with Kate again! We have an 8 month old bernedoodle who had never had an overnight stay anywhere from home before. I was extremely nervous to leave him with someone I did not know. She made us feel so comfortable leaving him for the first time. There was great communication before,during the after the booking. She kept us updated with pictures all throughout his stay and gave him lots of exercise! She has some great dogs of her own and Bear just loved running around in the yard with them! He had such a great stay and I look forward to booking again!
Kate was amazing and patient with our animals. So thankful!
Kate is a wonderful dog sitter. I have a very social medium dog, so I did not want to leave her alone while I travelled. Kate made sure my dog got plenty of attention and even introduced her to her own dogs. Kate also sent plenty of pictures to keep in touch of how my dog was doing. It’s great to know she is so well cared for while I was away. Thanks Kate!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced backyard and two friendly dogs. Proper introductions are always a priority to ensure the safety of all pets. I am comfortable with crating and meeting the needs of dogs in care, whatever that may look like. *I do require that all dogs going for walks wear a harness (can be provided during their stay).
Pets
A typical day
I do my best to follow your dog’s normal walking, feeding, training, and play routines. All dogs are walked twice a day unless otherwise discussed. *for safety reasons, dogs will not be brought to the dog park while in my care
