Dogs deserve the best!

Pet care experience

I have 13 years of experience taking care of dogs of all kinds, from puppies to 14 years old. Whether walking, feeding, bathing, training, or morning/nighttime routines - I take my role as caregiver seriously. I have always formed special bonds with dogs and will make sure your dog is treated with the care and respect they deserve! I personally have had golden retrievers and labs as pets in the past, including senior pup Riley. I enjoy caring for dogs and love how each dog has their own personality! I can take your dog for a walk, run, stroll in the neighborhood, or visit a park. Or if your pet is more of an inside dog, we can relax at home! I appreciate the bond between human and pet & will give your dog the care they deserve. For house sitting requests - I can stay over in your home or go back to my place at night if you are local. Whatever works best for you and your pet!

Kate was amazing! She accomodated some last minute travel plans and sent so many cute pictures of Finn! I knew he was well cared for.

Kate took great care of my dog Finn - she sent me such cute update pictures and videos! She was very flexible with some interesting behavioral quirks Finn has (he likes to bark/chase motorcycles) and treated him like her own. I felt comfortable knowing that Finn was well taken care of. Thanks Kate!!

Safety, trust & environment

I speak with each client on any safety items and rules of their home prior to caring for their pet. I will also inquire into any specific training needs or policies to follow, such as crating your pet. Routines are important to pets (and humans!) so I will be sure to ask about those as well!

Information Kate W. would like to know about your pet

Your pet’s name, age, & personality is a good start! As mentioned, I would like to know specific rules and guidelines for safety in the home and typical routines your dog looks forward to. Morning & evening routines will be good to know along with their sleeping arrangement (crate, etc). I’d like to also discuss a mitigation plan for potential separation anxiety issues and any health issues that I should be made aware of and care for. We’ll also discuss the typical things such as walks per day, diet, and any current trainings to reinforce.

A typical day

I love to establish a connection with dogs and a typical day will align with their personality. This could be waking up first thing and taking them on a long run or walk to explore all the smells of the world or for less active dogs, a bathroom break followed by food and lots of cuddles. Playing with dog toys is always a fun part of the day! I’ll vary my day based on what the dog/owner needs!
