Just a girl who lives for dogs!

Hi my name is Kate!! I am a college student looking to help out some sweet dogs. I am a long time dog lover. I have had dogs my entire life up until this last April when my yorkie poo passed away. I am looking to fill a hole in my life while helping out others. I'm here to make sure that your dogs feel safe and comfortable. I’ll give them cuddles, long walks, playtime, and whatever else is needed for them to have a great time!! I have experience with both senior dogs and puppies as well as those who need a little more care or have special regimens. I will walk them many times throughout the day however, I also have a fully fenced in yard ready to be played in!! As I am a college student on break I am almost always home as well as my dad who works from home. I am ready to accommodate all in order to ensure your dog is safe and happy!! Reach out to me if you have any questions or would like to schedule a meet and greet!

Kate was amazing and took really great care of our 9 month old puppy, Lego. We will definitely book with Kate again next time we go away! Thank you, Kate!

Kate did a great job watching our little guy! She kept us posted regularly, with nice photos too. "Buster" came home relaxed and playful, as if he had never left, which is what we look for in a successful boarding stay. Looking forward to next time!

Doggy Day Care • Jun 26, 2025

Kate does a phenomenal job taking care of my special needs puppy. She is attentive to Lucy's needs and gives honest feedback on the days' events. She tells me if Lucy has had walks, poops or naps during the day. Her photos are also meaningful and taken with care. I appreciate her time and dedication to care for my baby. I will continue to have Kate watch Lucy for as long as I can.

Last minute, my usual sitter fell through, and Kate was able to come through and provide my Cooper with a place to stay for the weekend. Kate and her dad provided Coop with excellent care, provided consistent updates and made him feel like home. It was his birthday while I was away as well and they celebrated it and took a video and everything. It was really sweet and above and beyond. I would have Cooper visit these two gems again, anytime with zero trepidation. I strongly encourage anyone in need of a reliable sitter to utilize Kate’s services. Thanks again, again guys! You’re the best.

I would like to know about their everyday lives as I would like to simulate that as much as possible. I would also like to know of any medications, treatments, and normal behaviors to ensure your dogs safety. Every dog is different and I hope to make your dog feel as comfortable as possible!
