Pet care experience

Fenced in yard & tons of love!

Hi! I'm Kate. My wife, Shaina, and I are lifelong animal lovers, passionate about animal care and looking forward to meeting new four-legged friends. We will care for your animals as if they were our own. I work from home so your pet won't have to spend much time alone. I'm also friends with many vet techs for quick medical advice. We have a sweet dog named Billie Eyelash and 4 active cats. We live in Fairview Park, in a home we own close to Westgate. The yard is fenced in and perfect for getting the zoomies out. We look forward to meeting you and your pet. Check my calendar for availability and let's schedule a meet n greet soon. Your pet will be in good hands. Thank you. :)

We have used Kate many times now for our pug and she is amazing- I never worry or feel guilty about leaving him because I know he is getting great care and tons of snuggles. She has great communication and gives tons of updates. Our dog loves it at Kate’s place!

I am a repeat client for a reason--Kate and Shaina are dependable, kind, and caring with my dog, Chloe. They communicate well, update me daily, send pictures, and make my traveling easy with the peace of mind that Chloe is so well taken care of.

Kate and Shaina provided a kind, loving home away from home for my two Cavaliers. It was a relief to see photos and read texts about how the dogs were doing. They were content during their first ever sleepover! I take them with me wherever I go, but will certainly book Kate and Shaina the next time I cannot.

Safety, trust & environment

I'm definitely more of a cautious person so I always make sure pets are protected and safe while in my home. I watch doors so that pets can't sneak out and I made sure to reinforce our fence so that tiny dogs can't slip through. When we leave the home, we always crate our client's dogs for their own protection. We have large, comfortable crates with beds available so you don't need to bring your own.

Pets

A typical day

I'm happy to do what the pet prefers. Walks, playing fetch, tug of war, couch cuddles, belly rubs, etc. We have a wonderful backyard oasis where we hang out in the summer.

I would like to know the dog's temperament, likes and dislikes, if they are good with cats, and their favorite activities. I would also like to know any fun nicknames you have for your dog.
