Pet care experience

Grad student + dog lover 🐾

Hello! I'm Kate. I'm a former tech-manager-turned-graduate-student on summer break. I grew up raising and then fostering labs, and more recently had a senior pug adopted from PRA. I understand what it's like to be away from a pet and am interested in providing the best care for yours. ❤️ I will send heaps of pics of your pup while you're away so you can feel reassured and keep updated on your fur baby's day. My apartment has lots of space for your pup to roam around, and comfortable spots to nap. Please let me know all the ways I can help your pup feel at home while you're away!

Kate was amazing. She was so good with Potato, sent plenty of updates, and was so easy to work with. I would definitely trust her to look after Potato and my home again!

Kate did a great job watching my dog Riley! She was very communicative, and sent us lots of pictures throughout Riley’s stay. I would definitely book with her again!

Kate is amazing - She has stayed with Frankie twice and is a great communicator while you're gone. I felt totally at ease having Kate stay in my home and with my pup! Would absolutely recommend her!

Kate took such great care of my senior beagle. She sent multiple pictures a day and it was clear Alice had a cozy, fun-filled stay with Kate and her dog Hugo. Thank you for making Alice feel at home, Kate!

We had to leave our dog for a lengthy trip and I was a bit nervous how he was going to do. Kate made him feel right at home and gave him the attention and love he needed. She sent the cutest photos and I could tell he was relaxed, himself and happy. He even made pals with her little dog. Kate is so kind, patient and responsive. Frijolé was in great care - thank you Kate and Hugo!

Schedule

I have flexibility to talk lots of walk and cuddle breaks with your dog throughout the day. I'm active and would equally love to take your dog for a run with me, or snuggle on the couch.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment complex and I only walk dogs on-leash, unless we have discussed off-leash visits to the dog park. I like to arrange a meet and greet in advance to go over your pets needs and your expectations.

A typical day

I live an active lifestyle and am happy to take your dog to any nearby parks, on my morning walk -- or just around the block, depending on their energy level. For seniors, we typically do a loop around the apartment building or to the grassy spots nearby for lots of sniffing and fresh air.

In order to make sure your dog gets the best care and level of exercise, please make me aware of their energy level (i.e. runs, daily walks, ball retrieving obsessions, etc.), any special needs or considerations, sleep and eating routine, and anything else I should be aware of to help them feel comfortable while you're away. Please note, I'm able to administer pill, topical and liquid medications, but not injections.
