Peaceful Loving Pet Care

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Kate, and I have been taking care of pets and gardens since I was ten years old. Throughout my life, I have been known for my responsible nature and have gained considerable experience house and pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. I have a deep love and respect for all animals and take great pride in creating safe and peaceful environments for them. To me, one's home is a sacred space, and it's important to be mindful of whom we invite into it. I have experience working with dogs and cats of all ages, administering medication if necessary, and using behavioral psychology to help them. I believe in letting pets lead the way in terms of their personal boundaries around playtime and snuggles and always stay attuned to their needs. I'm excited at the prospect of caring for your sacred space and furry family, and I look forward to working with you!

Kate could not have been more wonderful. We were very nervous leaving our dogs for the first time with someone new our newest rescue was going through heartwarm treatment Kate was so calm about his meds routine. She sent us pictures to calm our nerves. When we came home the dogs were totally cool & the house was spotless! She could not have been a nicer human! We will absolutely call Kate again.

Kate is top-notch! She's super responsive, communicative, thoughtful, and professional. She really cares about our fur babies (who can be a handful) and because it's clear she genuinely cares about animals -- every visit with our pups leaves us with deep peace of mind!

Kate stayed at my house for 3 nights with my two chocolate Labs. She played ball with them and walked them all the days she was here. I really liked her right off when we introduced her to my dogs ..and I felt confident that they liked her as well . We came home to a spotless house, she even washed our sheets. So very happy I found her, great sitter and such a kind and thoughtful person to take care of my boys I would highly recommend her to anyone

I love to go for walks around beautiful East Bay neighborhoods, Heather Farms, and the Lafayette Reservoir! Play and fetch are essential for building trust and keeping your dogs healthy, as well as lots of pets, belly rubs, and snuggles!
