Dog-loving Professional

Pet care experience

Hello there! I am a long-time dog owner and self-employed with lovely remote work flexibility. Sugar, my Golden Retriever, is almost 14. We love hanging out with other pooches and have met some great people along the way. Glad to provide any additional information you need, as well as references.

Kate took great care of our pups while we were away for two weeks. They had the best time playing in her yard with her dog, Sugar. Kate sent lots of photos and was very communicative throughout the stay. We’ll definitely book with Kate again the next time we travel!

Kate was very good at caring for our golden retriever and sent us lots of pictures. We do recommend her.

I have nothing but great things to say about Kate! She and Sugar are wonderful. Very caring, and I always knew my boy was in good hands while I was gone.

Kate did a wonderful job taking care of not only our 4 legged crew, but also our home while we were away for 10 days. It was so great to come home to a clean home and everything taken care of! We have some elderly pets the required medication and special attention which Kate managed perfectly. Would highly recommend Kate to anyone needing pet/house sitting!

Safety, trust & environment

Ideally, I like to meet pets before a sit. When that's not possible, I book a FaceTime call, to get a sense of what the pets and owners need and want from my care.

Information Kate W. would like to know about your pet

I like to know your dog's preferences and routines, because I find they are most comfortable when I give them consistency. Dogs that like having another dog friend around work best; I am happy to provide references from clients who have met and hosted Sugar.

A typical day

I walk every day. If your pooch doesn't like much exercise, that's ok - we can have lots of chill time, too. I'm open to your preferences.

I work virtually. Dogs can go out as often as needed. If I'm out for fun, I seek dog-friendly activities and places to bring the canines along (if that's their thing).
