Home all day to watch the dogs play

Pet care experience

I have many years of large dog experience as well as neurotic pets. (I will be unable to take dogs over 80lbs. As my more senior dog seems to get upset about it as he gets older and more grouchy.)Your furry family member will be content and secure in my care while you are away. I can provide FaceTime or video chat for you and your pet as well as photos to update you. I have experience with administering medications and special dietary needs. If I am sitting in your home, I am willing to care for your other pets while watching over your dog. I will maintain your pets usual environment (noises) to minimize anxiety while you are away from home. You can relax during your time away or concentrate on business knowing your pet(s) is safe in my care. I periodically foster Puppies for a local organization and do provide discounted services for other foster families needing a sitter. My younger dog was a neglect case when adopted and is a little slow to warm up with a new playmate. I keep her leashed until I see has calmed down and then she is all for playing. My older dog Puck is usually curiously aloof. Want to sniff everyone and then goes to laydown somewhere. He is more apt to play with a dog his size and male.

First time using Kate. I consider her to be an excellent dog sitter. I received updates and was happy.

Kate was very friendly and Yulee loves her and her dogs. She kept me updated on her status via text,video and pictures. Will definitely book with her again.

Kate and her huskies were great! She has a beautiful home and yard and our husky mix seemed to feel right at home there. Kate sent us pictures and updates throughout our trip so we knew everything was going well. We would definitely board with Kate again.

Kate is awesome! Her home is great with a huge fenced in yard that I heard my pup really enjoyed. She has experience with dogs with different backgrounds and made me feel really comfortable leaving my dog with her. She was able to give her 2 different medications and I felt confident if anything came up she’d let me know and talk to my vet. She is great and I would definitely use her for boarding again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and I have an old dog and a younger dog to keep your fur baby company. I have crates to utilize if you'd like and have an existing pen that can be utilized as well. My neighborhood is safe and great for walking and there are walking trails nearby at Burlington City Park and the Arboretum. If we go on a walk in downtown Burlington, Smittys ice cream loves to give out pup cups to all who enter :)

Information Kate W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any special schedules, routines, foods, treats, allergies, medications and any aggressive or panicky behaviors your dog may have. If staying at my home, I never leave my dog and yours alone together as I have separate rooms that can be utilized for safety.

I enjoy hiking, walking and will take trips to the dog park or have play time in my yard. If your fur baby is staying over night in my home, he/she will have plenty of space to relax and 1/2 acre fenced yard to play in.
