Social Worker who loves dogs

I will treat your dog like how I treat my goldendoodle Winnie who lives with my parents in Breese, IL. My family’s goldendoodle Louie passed away in November 2023. I will make sure your dog will get the exercise he/she needs on the walks. I am available after 5pm on weekdays for drop ins and dog walks. On the weekends, I am available all day for all services!!! I work from 9am-5pm most days. I have experience taking care of two dogs at the same time. I am very calm, trustworthy, genuine, and easygoing person. You will not have to worry when your dog is in my care. I now offer dog boarding. I have a spacious backyard with a fence.

Kate watched Zoey for the second time. She is great with sending update photos and making sure my dog is taken care of.

We trust Kate with our dog 100%. She is very loving and patient, as we have an older dog that requires extra love and attention. She’s great with animals and I would recommend her to anyone looking for special care for their pet.

Safety, trust & environment

I will make sure that your dog gets the attention he/she deserves while his/her owner is away while doing drop in visits. During drop ins, I will also feed your dog and take your dog outside if requested. I am also good at giving dog baths!

A typical day

I would walk your dog around the town and neighborhood, on the bike trails, Watershed Park if near by, parks in Edwardsville or local surrounding area, and maybe take the dog to the dog park if approved by owner. I may take your dog to Whisker Bones downtown Edwardsville on the walks if near by and on the weekend after having good behaviors on the walk.

What is His/her personality towards humans, children, and other dogs? Does your dog have any allergies to treats? I do not prefer aggressive dogs but I am open to any type of breed. I have no problems if your dog's hair sheds.
