Home Full-Time with a Safe Yard!
Pet care experience
Hey dog parents! I'm here to provide a loving, attentive home for your pup while you're away. Having been a lifelong dog lover, I understand the unique needs of dogs of all ages. From energetic puppies needing exercise and training, to older dogs who appreciate a slower pace and extra patience, I treat every dog as if they're my own. My home is a dog's paradise, with a secure yard and a nearby dog park for safe, fun outdoor adventures with separate spaces for big and small dogs. We also have quiet streets for leisurely strolls or energetic walks, depending on what your dog enjoys. As someone who's always home, I'm flexible to their schedule – whether it’s playtime, training sessions for younger dogs, or just cuddle time. I'm all about giving your dog a happy, active stay. I love spending time outdoors with them, but I’m also ready for quieter moments like brushing or belly rubs. You can be assured of at least three walks a day, lots of personal attention, and frequent photo updates! With me, your dog will receive not just care, but a home full of love, fun, and understanding.
Reviews
Had another wonderful experience working with Kate. Kate hosted my cat for 11 days, was very professional, easy to communicate with, and provided regular pictures, videos, and updates. My cat looked very at ease and happy at Kate's. I highly recommend Kate and look forward to working with her again soon!
Had a great experience working with Kate. She was very professional, friendly, and for two weeks took great care of my cat, Phoebe, who looked very content, safe, and herself with Kate and in her apartment. The communication was great too; Kate sent me regular updates and pictures, which I appreciated. Would absolutely recommend Kate.
Kate loves dogs! I have personally seen her petsit numerous animals -- she is always a careful, loving, and responsible sitter who joyfully prioritizes the well-being of the animals in her care. It's no wonder they all seem to love her so much! If you leave your dog with Kate, you're leaving it in capable, loving hands.
Kate will go above and beyond watching your pup! She sends plenty of photos and updates and provides tons of quality time with your dog! Your dog will have a great time with Kate!

Safety, trust & environment
Ensuring your pet's safety and comfort is my top priority. In my home, I maintain a tidy and secure environment, free from small hazards that could be a concern. There's ample room for your pet's kennel or bed, ensuring they have their own comfortable space. And, if they like a bit of extra coziness, they're welcome on my bed too – post-walk paw wipes included, of course! I take great care to create a safe, trusting atmosphere where your pet can feel at ease, just like they would in their own home. My aim is to provide a space where they can relax, play, and receive all the care they need in a safe and loving environment.

Information Kate V. would like to know about your pet
Before your pet's stay, it's important for me to understand their unique needs and habits to ensure the best possible care. Please share if your dog or cat has any special requirements, such as medications, allergies, or specific dietary needs. It's also helpful to know how they interact with other animals, especially when encountering dogs on our walks. Knowing any commands they respond to can make our time together smoother and more enjoyable for them. Additionally, if they have favorite activities, toys, or routines, do let me know so I can make their stay as comfortable and familiar as possible. And, of course, any quirks or behaviors that you think I should be aware of are always appreciated. The more I know about your furry friend, the better I can tailor their care to feel like a home away from home.
A typical day
A typical day for your dog in my care follows a simple yet attentive routine. In the morning, we kick things off with a walk around the neighborhood. It's a nice way to start the day and get some exercise. After our walk, I'll take care of breakfast, administer any medications if needed, and ensure there's fresh water available. If your dog enjoys a change of scenery, we have the option to visit Herbert Von King Park. It's a great spot for them to play and interact with other dogs if they're social. But if your dog prefers sticking closer to home, that's absolutely fine too. We can spend some time in my enclosed private yard for afternoon exercise, or head out on another walk. In the evening, I'll serve dinner, followed by another walk. This walk is a nice way to wind down the day and settle in for the night. Throughout the day, I'm attentive to your dog's needs and can easily adjust our routine to match what they're used to at home.

Caring for your pet fits naturally into my daily routine. Just like I would for my own, I start and end each day with morning and night walks. Plus, there's always time for an extra stroll or play session in the afternoon if your dog needs it. My flexible work schedule allows me to adapt to your pet's needs, ensuring they get all the attention and exercise they require. Whether your dog enjoys frequent short walks or a couple of longer adventures, I'm here to make their day as enjoyable and fulfilling as possible.
