Information Kate V. would like to know about your pet

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!

Pet care experience

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 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!
