Loving, Active, & Reliable Dog Care

Hi! I’m Kate, a remote worker and lifelong dog lover who’s home full-time during the week. My husband, Zach, helps out too! We’re both huge dog people and will treat your pup like our own! Because I work from home, your dog will have company all day long, with plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles in between. We’re active and love getting outside, so long walks are a regular part of our routine. We often have a few friendly regulars during the week, so we prefer dogs who are social and get along well with others. Our home is calm, cozy, and set up to make dogs feel safe and comfortable — whether they’re here for the day or an overnight stay. Your dog will get plenty of love, attention, and exercise from both of us and we’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands!

Katie and Zach were absolutely incredible watching our two dogs while we were away in Hawaii for a week. From start to finish, they went above and beyond in every way. They were extremely communicative, keeping us updated regularly and giving us total peace of mind while we were traveling. It made such a difference knowing our dogs were in such good hands. On top of that, they were flexible and accommodating when our plans changed, which we really appreciated. It’s clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after, and our dogs were happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we got back. We wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, reliable, and thoughtful dog sitters.

Kate is awesome! She did an amazing job taking care of my dog for the day. She made him feel at home and made sure he was having a great day! He clearly loved spending the day with Kate. Would recommend to anyone looking for an experienced dog sitter!

Schedule

Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine! Since I work remotely, I have the flexibility to provide frequent walks, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. Training for races also keeps me active, so I love taking dogs on runs or long walks. My husband and I are homebodies, meaning your pup will get plenty of attention, cuddles, and companionship while in our care.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. With easy access to walks, potty breaks, and playtime, they get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. Since I work remotely, I’m always around to provide companionship and care.

A typical day

I love keeping pets active and engaged with a mix of fun activities tailored to their energy level and personality! Some of my favorites include: Walks & Runs: Since I’m training for races, I’m happy to take dogs on energetic runs or leisurely walks. Playtime: Whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, or running around the yard, I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise. Enrichment Games: Mental stimulation is just as important as physical activity, so I love using puzzle toys, treat hide-and-seek, and basic training exercises to keep dogs engaged. Cuddles & Relaxation: For the more laid-back pups, I’m always up for belly rubs, ear scratches, and cozy couch time.

Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know their routine, temperament, exercise needs, medical info, training, socialization, and favorite comforts. The more I know, the better I can ensure they feel safe, happy, and right at home!
