Your pups will have so much fun!

Pet care experience

**Available evenings and weekends only now, with occasional weekday walks Hi there! I am Kate. I have just one pup of my own now - a 3 yr old Australian Cattle Dog rescue (plus a scrappy orange kitty!), after recently losing my 13 yr old chocolate lab and 11 yr old cattle dog mix last year. Their combined 24+ years of life have provided all sorts of experience, from raising them as puppies to taking care of them during severe medical challenges. I am comfortable with small and large dogs, young and old, administering medications, and will treat your dogs as if they were my own! I don't talk on the phone, listen to music, or do anything else on a walk except pay complete attention to your pup. I am also a member of the PAWS Chicago Professional Board - another example of my dedication to the welfare of our precious animals here in Chicago! I look forward to meeting your furry family members and spending quality time with them while you are away.

Second time with Kate went just as well as the first. She arrived on time to pick up keys, sent detailed summaries with pictures of her check-ins, and she even cleaned up the mess my poorly-behaved bad cat made trying to get into some food.

Frank had a wonderful time with you while I was away for a family wedding! Thanks for taking great care of him as usual ?

Kate was the best ever. My dog took to her right away without a second thought. She brought great peace of mind during the stay because you could really tell your dog was having a good time. My dog will be twelve this year and still seemed easy. If Kate is available I feel lucky.

Information Kate Y. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting or walking your pet, I would love to know any tendencies they have, how they are with other animals and kids, any preferred methods of training and enforcement, and special things they love! I want to ensure I provide the same atmosphere they experience at home, with the added fun of additional love and attention while they are missing you.

A typical day

We will go on walks around your neighborhood, have play time in your home, and hit up the dog park if you are comfortable with it!
