Active retiree who loves animals!
Pet care experience
I've taken care of animals most of my adult life, first for my own family, then later when my kids left home, I took care of their animals as needed when they are away on vacation . My younger daughter has been an active pet sitter with Doggie Vacay and now Rover in AZ, for many years. I helped her set up and run this service, with her as the primary caretaker. as we lived together. My husband and I have recently relocated back to CT from AZ, and I miss the interaction with all the pups and look forward to having that in my life once more!
Reviews
I can’t say enough about Kate and her husband Pete. They are the most kind and caring people you will ever meet. If you want peace of mind when your away, I highly recommend Kate. This was my second booking with her and I know their will be a third.
Wonderful experience! My dog was very well cared for and I received daily updates and pictures. Will definitely use Kate again
I can’t say enough about Kate and Pete. If you want the best for your pets, this is the home you want them to be in. They are both kind, understanding and have patience. I had piece of mind knowing my dogs were in a happy place!! 5 plus stars! 🥰
Wonderful and caring people

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard, and a covered front porch, where we spend much of our time when the weather is nice. I love to play with small animals, but their safety and well being is the most important aspect.
Home
Information Kate S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know your pet's preferences for sleeping, eating, how far they can walk, and general temperament: If he/she is good with people, afraid of kids, hates loud noises etc.
A typical day
West Haven boardwalk is heaven for dogs! Your pup would be walked several times a day, if not more. The sights and sounds of the ocean, birds, and nature are right outside our door. At home, when it's down time, we love to cuddle with the pets on the couch or on our laps while watching some tv or a movie.

Availability
I am retired, as is my husband, and taking care of your pup would be my primary responsibility. We live close to the boardwalk in West Haven, and daily walks near the ocean are a must for us, weather permitting. I will be home with your pup all the time, with plenty of opportunity for potty breaks and walks throughout the day. We typically do not crate any dogs, unless it is at the request of the owner for the dog's benefit, if they are skittish or shy around new people, and feel safer in their crate.
