Reliable, fun, full-time pet-sitter

Pet care experience

I have 2 dogs of my own, Rocky and Wrigley. I grew up always having a dog in the house and have trained 3 up from puppies. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages and with distributing medicine. I have been a full time dog walker for 2 years. I am trained in canine CPR. Being around, caring for, and walking dogs of all kinds brings me so much joy. Working with animals is an amazing part of my life! I am available full time for dog walking and drop ins. I can take care of dogs at anytime due to my flexible schedule. I am comfortable walking multiple dogs at a time. I look forward to meeting and caring for all your family pets!

We booked Kate to look after our two cats while we were away for three weeks. This turned into five weeks due to Covid, but Kate was able to stay on for the extra two weeks. She handled the booking extension through the app and made it very easy for us. She also purchased some extra wet food for the last few days. She made sure the litter boxes were scooped every day, and that the cats had plenty to eat. Despite our two skittish scaredy-cats disappearing into the basement every visit, she stayed for the full half-hour. She provided a 5-star service! Thank you, Kate!

I have two wonderful and calm dogs, pets are allowed on furniture and have free roam of the home to feel comfortable. While on walks or drop ins, I like to keep the dog as close to their schedule and normal interactions as possible to reduce anxiety.

Information Kate S. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if they take any medication, have a condition I should be aware of, their typical food amount and schedule, treat allowances, and where they are most comfortable. I would also like to know if they are potty trained, good with other dogs, and if they need a crate.

A typical day

During doggy daycare, I enjoy taking the dogs to a park near my home! The neighborhood also has a large walking trail which is great for varied length walks. I also have a small pool for hot summer days for the dogs to play in the front and cool off.
