I love meeting new dogs!

Pet care experience

Hello Friend! My name is Kate and I love exploring Cheesman Park with my dog Turtle and whenever possible with a puppy pack! If you've really got a high energy dog and would like to tire him/ her out ask me about hiking and extended walks/runs! I can provide referrals as needed and would be happy to meet you and your dog in advance. If your dog has special needs or specific training behaviors that need to be reinforced just let me know! I live in a condo without a yard but right next to Cheesman Park so your pup will get plenty of exercise. I have one dog named Bear who is pretty lazy but very friendly with other dogs. He'll generally play for about 10 minute bursts then pass out for 4 hours. Turtle on the other hand loves to play fetch, wrestle and go on long walks. He's a pack dog at heart and loves to make new friends. Both dogs are under 20 pounds, very healthy and well socialized. They are both good about sharing their toys and have no food aggression or guarding tendencies. Since I live in a condo I am not a good match for dogs with separation anxiety or dogs who get anxious with typical city noises (lobby, sirens, elevator etc.). I'm in town for most holidays but fill up quickly so be sure to reach out early. Just let me know what you need and we can get started today!

Kate took such great care of my boy! He last minute got put on medication and Kate was so great about taking care of him while I was gone and making sure he took everything he needed. She also could not have been more accommodating in working with my schedule (she even went so far as to pick Finn up AND drop him off). Every picture she sent looked like Finn was having the best time. Can't wait to have her look after my boy again! Thanks, Kate!

Safety, trust & environment

I take the dogs to Cheesman Park regularly and always keep the dogs leashed. I do not use retractable leashes as I feel it does not give you enough control over the safety of dogs. I prefer to use front lead harnesses to prevent pulling and not risk choking dogs if they get startled or try to bolt after a squirrel.

Information Kate S. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know if there are any behavioral issues such as separation anxiety, leash aggression or food aggression. Some of these issues can be mitigated by enforcing training and others may mean I'm not a great fit for your pet. I'd also like to know if there is any training you'd like me to reinforce during your pups stay so they don't fall behind or pick up any new bad habits. Just let me know what you're working on!

A typical day

I mainly walk in Cheesman Park or Cherry Creek depending on the dogs behavior around other animals and how crowded the park is. For dogs that I sit on a regular basis (and with the owners permission) in good weather I'll sometimes take the puppies to Cherry Creek Reservoir or on short hikes.

I work from home so am able to be around the dogs throughout the day. I can adjust my schedule as needed based on the pup for how frequently we need to go on walks.
