Pet care experience
My family always had a dog growing up, and when I moved to Colorado with my husband, I was devastated that our landlord wouldn't let us have a dog of our own. We finally bought our house and adopted a pup in May of 2022, and I've realized how passionate I am about pets! I love to train, run, and snuggle with my own dog all the time, and it's always a joy for my family and I to have other dogs over to play. I also have experience with drop-in cat care, and I promise to send plenty of pictures of your pets while you're away from them. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members!
Reviews
Kate and her family were fantastic! They truly understand dogs and we were thankful that Sherman was in such good hands and staying in a loving home while we were away. The dogs got plenty of play time and she kept us posted with updates and pics which we appreciated. We would definitely recommend Kate! 10/10. Thank you again for taking such great care of Sherman!!
Kate was so great with our poodles! I got great updates and knew they were having a fun day!
Kate is amazing along with her pup
I think our pup had a better vaca than we did! Kate was very friendly, prompt and communicative! Great stay!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a roomy back yard with a full 6' fence and lots of grass for running around, as well as a young golden retriever who is well-socialized and loves to play with other dogs! We typically go for 1-2 walks a day, or go to the park across the street to play fetch in the open space. If we have another playful dog over, I play it by ear whether they need a walk for addition exercise each day. I have a 6 & 11 year old at home that enjoy playing with and helping to care for animals. I spend a little time each day training my pup, and she normally sleeps in my room at night. I do have a travel pen that I am able to use to separate dogs at my home if needed. I am happy to keep you updated each day on how your furry friends are doing while in my care. Happy to reduce rates for repeat customers, just mention it to me! (It's always easier once I have gotten to know your dog!)
Home
Information Kate S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about your pet's temperament around children and other dogs, including if they have more anxiety on leash vs. in the house. Does your dog need constant supervision, are they safe to be left alone for about an hour at a time or are they crate trained? Let me know what your routine is for their meals/sleep and rules about if they are allowed to hop up on the couches with us.
A typical day
I love spending time with dogs! Whether they need a jogging buddy, a leisurely stroll, or an hour of fetch, I'm happy to meet and play with your furry friend. I like to jog and scoot with my pup along the trail around the lake at my house, or play fetch in the field or the backyard.

Availability
I'm home full time and my schedule is pretty flexible. I need to leave my dog (and any guest dogs staying with us) at home for a half hour to an hour at a time a couple of times a day to run errands or cart the kiddos around to various activities. I have a doggy door so the dogs will always have access to go outside in the fully-fenced backyard, unless you specifically request I supervise your dog while they're out. My husband is home during the day with the dog(s), but is working and can't provide direct supervision when I'm gone, but keeps an ear out in case of emergencies. I also have cameras in household common areas and the backyard to check in on dogs while I'm away.
