Everyone in our home loves dogs!
Pet care experience
I currently have three small dogs, and I have been a foster for a dog rescue. Fostering has given me experience with all sizes and breeds of dogs. As a foster mom, I have whelped a litter and bottle fed puppies, as well as caring for senior dogs with diabetes and everything in between. My dogs love meeting new friends and my kids enjoy having new playmates. My children have had dogs their entire lives and know how to respect animals and their space. I have experience with administering medication to dogs. I had a senior diabetic foster for several months and I tested her blood sugar several times a day and gave her Vetsulin. Several years ago, one of my dogs had kidney disease and I gave him fluids daily through an IV. I also had a blind dog for almost 5 years (he went blind from a genetic issue and lived a great life even after he went blind). I have fostered over 20 puppies in the last couple years, including one litter who was born at my home and I bottle fed. My home is pretty much dog and kid proof - we removed all of the carpet long ago to make any clean up for puppies much easier! Two of my dogs sleep in crates and the third on my bed. We have sat/fostered for dogs that prefer both and we have a spare room to sleep in case dogs prefer to sleep with a human in a bed but not with my dog.
Reviews
Highly recommend Kate and her family!
My 17 week old puppy spent the weekend with Kate and her family. They took excellent care of her and the pictures and videos she sent helped relieve my anxiety. My girl came home happy, healthy, and well- socialized. I will book again! Thanks again!
Excellent experience. Bella was well taken care of and had a great time. Thank you so much.
Kate and her family were all amazing! We left our 13 week old puppy there and received so many updates and photos! He was so happy there and we felt very comfortable! Would definitely use Kate again!

Safety, trust & environment
Dogs have free access to the main floor of our home. They are allowed in furniture and I have several gates and crates so dogs can retreat or get alone time if needed.
Home
Information Kate R. would like to know about your pet
I have fostered and/or sat for dogs of all sizes and breeds so I’m used to varying personalities. I need to know if your dog gets along with other dogs.
A typical day
We have several beautiful trails and parks near my home where I take my dogs for walks. I also have a large home that has quiet areas for older dogs to retreat to when they need a break.

I work from home so I’m available to play and take dogs out for potty breaks all day. We also enjoy walks during the day.
