Pet care experience

Your pup loved like family ❤️

Being honest, it has always been incredibly easy for me to connect with pets, especially dogs. I now have a 2 year old shihtzu who I absolutely adore and spoil every day. Sometimes I feel like he needs a little brother or a friend to play with, and even when I’m out with him, you’ll still catch me trying to pet every dog we pass. I simply love them deeply. Before having him, I had a Chihuahua for 13 years, and she taught me so much about unconditional love. I’ve also cared for family and friends’ dogs whenever they needed help. One moment that really showed me how naturally I bond with dogs was during a family beach trip, we found a big Boxer in the backyard who barked nonstop and scared everyone away. I was the only one who tried to approach him calmly and understand him. After spending time talking to him through the fence, he eventually trusted me enough to let me pet him. Soon after, I was able to go into the yard with him, and he turned out to be the sweetest dog. My family was shocked at how naturally and confidently I connected with him. That experience, among many others, made me realize how much I truly understand dogs, their fears, their excitement, their need for love, and how much joy it brings me to care for them.

Katr was very attentive and caring, made sure our dog, Luna, got her walks, treats, and plenty of attention while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and could tell Luna was very comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!

I was away for two weeks, and she checked on my cats every 3 days while I was gone. Since they have automatic feeders and an automatic litter box, I mainly needed someone attentive to make sure everything was working properly — and she was amazing! She was very caring with my cats, kept me updated, and always sent pictures during her visits, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I could tell she genuinely cared about them. I would definitely choose her again if I need a pet sitter in the future!

Kate was absolutely amazing with my puppy, Koko! She was very attentive and kept me updated the entire time with great pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Koko is still a very energetic puppy, and Kate handled her so well making sure she got plenty of walks each day and even letting her run and play at the dog park. It honestly felt like Koko was on her own little vacation! By the end of the stay, it’s safe to say Koko and Kate’s dog, Milo, became besties. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would 100% trust Kate to watch Koko again. Highly recommend!

I must have done something right in a past life to have found someone as caring, amazing, and intentional as Kate to look after Princess. I got photos and videos everyday of her playing and having a good time, and she came back happy as ever. It was my first time leaving for over 2 weeks, and I was nervous, but all that went away when I saw my pup was in the best hands. I recommend to everyone.

Schedule

I am a person that love to exercise, love to go out in walks, hiking and also I love to wake up early. I think that a weekly pet routine would be like a peace time for me.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment with my husband and our sweet shihtzu. I’m very flexible and always follow any rules or routines you have: feeding times, portions, walks, medication, anything your pet needs. I’m also happy to do a quick free meet-and-greet beforehand so you can feel completely comfortable and confident with me taking care of your treasure!

Pets

A typical day

I love keeping dogs active and happy, so we’ll go on nice walks or even small hikes if they enjoy that. I’ll play with them, practice any tricks they know, and make sure they get plenty of attention. And of course cuddles, comfort, and a cozy space to relax whenever they want.

Just be honest about anything I should know. Every dog has their own personality, and I’m totally comfortable adjusting to what they need. Let me know if they have any triggers, fears, special routines, or anything that makes them uncomfortable so I can make sure they feel safe and happy.
