What dog does Dracula own?

*My pricing varies, I try to be as fair as possible. My name is Kate. My partner, Carmen, and I run a pet sitting business out of our home. Loving and caring for dogs goes back for generations in my family. I grew up with six rescue dogs of all breeds and sizes and 5 cats. Animals are my absolute passion. I treat every single pet as if it were my own. Which means they will be treated like the world revolves around them when they are in my care… because it should. 🤍

Doggy Day Care • Jun 16, 2024

Katelyn was amazing! On our road trip from Nevada to North Carolina we needed care for our dachshund while our family enjoyed some tourist things. We had a few different people watch Lottie and she definitely warmed up to Katelyn the best! We received text from Katelyn keeping us posted while we enjoyed the horse races for Father’s Day and even took her to the park to play. If we lived in the area she would be our regular puppy sitter hands down! Thanks guys. 🤩

Kate was great! We left our Roscoe over the Christmas holiday and she took great care of him. She even made him a stocking. They went on walks to the park as well. She was quick to respond when I sent her a text. I would definitely use her again.

House Sitting • Aug 03, 2021

Katelyn was fabulous! She watched my parents' dog while they were visiting Louisville. She was very accommodating when their schedule changed a bit, and she was absolutely great with their dog, Teddy.

House Sitting • Jul 05, 2021

Was very nervous about having someone watch over all three of my dogs for the weekend, but when I contacted Kate about dog sitting she really helped put my mind at ease. She took the time to meet my dogs prior to the dates that were needed and genuinely cares about their specific needs. With July 4th weekend, she went above and beyond by spending extra time with them as the fireworks make my dogs really anxious their nerves get wild. Kate was amazing and she treated my dogs like her own. I will definitely be booking again.

When looking into rover I was extremely apprehensive. I know Rover takes a large percentage from the sitter’s end pay. I really wanted someone that took this seriously and kind of gave a bang for my buck if you will. I didn’t want someone getting just 15$ to come in let my dogs out and leave. I’d rather just pay someone what they are worth and them give my dogs a great time as well as give myself peace of mind. Her house is set up perfectly for dog care. Beds, toys, little pools, dog gates, it’s really nice. My dog really loves going over there, she even made her sweet potato and rice for lunch. Kate always let’s Sadie sleep with her in their guest bedroom which it think is very sweet. She also always sends our baby home with new toys and she’s happy and tired out. Sometimes she doesn’t want to leave Kate’s couch. When Kate and her wife come to take our dogs out and check on my cats she sends awesome pictures and she is always giving them tons and tons of love, attention, and exercise. Which is very important to me. Kate is just passionate about all animals, different sizes, ages, breeds. She’s a big asset to me and I highly recommend you getting her number and using her so you can know for a fact your pets are safe and happy. I can’t thank her enough.

I was very nervous to leave the crew with a stranger but Kate really talked me through it and make me feel genuinely comfortable before we had even met. You can tell she does this for a living and it is very clear she’s been doing it her whole life. She is extremely professional and easy to work with. Sends pictures constantly and lets you know how things are going. She’s funny and friendly, us and the dogs really appreciate that. We even printed off one of the pictures she took and hung it up. Our dogs really bonded with her and her puggle. We now use her for doggie day care so the dogs aren’t in the house alone all day. Boston really loves her dog pool she has in her backyard and she always sends my dogs home with new toys as well. They run right into her house when we pull up. She really is a godsend to our family and we will only use her from here on out.

Schedule

I work from home so I’m with my dogs 24/7. Most of the time we are playing in the yard, having doggie play dates with our pals, going for walks, or they are impatiently waiting for me to cook their food. On weekends I usually take them on trips to the lake, hiking, out to eat, all kinds of adventures. I try to give them the best life possible because their only fault is that they aren’t here forever.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m a very cautious pet owner. Growing up surrounded by multiple dogs at a time you always need to be prepared for anything. If in my care I have a nice fenced in park yard, a doggie pool, A finished basement, three bedroom home, a dog play area with more toys than the pet store, and a park near by that I frequent. It is very easy for my wife and I to separate the pets if they happen to not get along for whatever reason. We also never do feedings in the same room. I always check in with fellow dog owners to see what they are comfortable with as far as their pets go. They will have my full and undivided attention. I take the well being of these animals very seriously. I want your pets to have a great experience with me. I accommodate each pet with the best of my abilities to ensure that they are all safe and happy. (A Bloodhound)

Pets

A typical day

My life pretty much revolves around my pets. I am just a huge animal lover of every kind. I will listen to what you would want for your baby. I love hiking, swimming, and physical activities… but I also enjoy cuddles and making homemade snacks.

I’d love to know all the things that your dogs enjoy doing so that I can make this more like a vacation for your pet instead of a stressful situation for them. As well has any medical, physical, or behavioral issues they may have. It’s very important to me that the pets and the owners feel like they can really trust me. (I am also fully vaccinated)
