Must love dogs...Yes, that's me!

Pet care experience

I love dogs and don't have one of my own, so pet-sitting is the perfect way for me to meet and care for others’ awesome pets while their people are away. We had dogs while I was growing up, and I learned how important and challenging it is to find someone 100 percent trustworthy and reliable to care for your pets while you’re away from home. I take pride in being that person. The majority of the dogs I’ve cared for have been on the medium to large end, and I’ve mostly worked with dogs in domestic settings. I work from 9 to 5 on weekdays, so I’m available before and after work, but free on weekends to spend long stretches with my pet clients. I live in an apartment, so I can’t host pets at my home, but I’m happy to travel to your place and spend time exploring your neighborhood. You’ll find that I’m professional, trustworthy, friendly, optimistic, and loving. I love to get outside, both for exercise and relaxation. I’ve done several twelve-hour endurance challenges (for fun!) and plan to do more. I also help others with their own physical fitness and wellness through my small, private coaching business, so I’m experienced in customer service, and I know how to attend to clients’ needs, preferences, and personalities. In my free time, I enjoy exploring new places, making new friends, and checking out live music. I'm a bit of a foodie as well, so I enjoy cooking and dining out. Fun fact: I can make the really challenging shots when playing pool, but I typically miss the easy ones.

Kate worked with Bristol past the scheduled 30 minute drop-ins to help him feel comfortable.

Kate came out to meet my us and I was comfortable with her quickly. My dog is a senior with health issues and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again. It went smoothly and I was confident he was being well taken care of. She provided feedback and photos and I was able to enjoy my week-end!!

Kate was fantastic watching our two pups. She was quick to respond when I put in the initial request, and was able to come do a meet and greet right away. Kate is super kind and seems knowledgable about taking care of pups. Both of our fur babies were very excited to meet her. We used her for a drop in walk when we went on a day trip. I was thrilled to get pictures as well as updates on her drop in. We also had to change our plans a bit, and she was able to work with us and be flexible about the situation. I would 100% use her again on a drop in or overnight stay.

Information Kate S. would like to know about your pet

Before I sit for a dog, I’ll talk with the owner about the dog’s routines and habits, favorite spots to walk and play, best methods for connecting with the dog, and best ways to reward and spoil the dog (in small ways only, of course!). I know change can be frustrating and unnerving for pets, just as it is for humans, so I’ll want to gather as much information as possible to help your dog feel at home while you’re away.

A typical day

I’ll do my best to stick your family’s routines so your dog will feel a sense of predictability and familiarity. In addition to meals, I’ll make sure we go for walks, get some exercise and playtime, and get some snuggle time in as well. I want to make sure your dog gets plenty of love and attention in much the same way you give it. I’ll also make sure to leave your home in the same condition, or better, before I go.
