Pet care experience
Dog lover with hands-on experience
Hi, I’m Kat! I’m a huge dog lover with over a year of hands-on experience at Summit Kennels in Washington state. There I cared for all kinds of dogs - from police K9s and dogs with aggression or reactivity, behavioral issues to sweet family pets. That experience taught me how to truly connect with every dog and give them the understanding, structure, attention and love they need. Now based in the Bay Area, I offer personalized drop-in visits and walks. I’m also currently studying to become a certified dog trainer, so I bring both real experience and modern positive reinforcement methods to every visit. What I’m most known for is staying calm and confident with any dog. Whether yours is a gentle family pet, a playful puppy, a calm adult, a senior who needs extra care, a dog on medication or one who’s energetic, anxious or reactive - I can handle it with patience and care. My goal is always to create a safe, positive experience. I’ll make sure your dog gets exercise, mental stimulation, genuine attention, and plenty of playtime and affection. And you’ll always receive detailed photo updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well taken care of. I’d love to meet you and your dog!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every environment. In my client’s home, I follow their exact routines, instructions, and house rules. I make sure the space is secure, provide regular potty breaks, exercise, and mental stimulation, and always send photo updates.
Ratings and reviews
Kat was awesome with Kane, my 1-year-old German Shepherd. At his age he’s still very active, but she was really attentive and during the walks they did some training exercises. He always came back happy and calm. Every time it’s time for a walk with Kat, Kane is already waiting by the door for her. Felt good knowing he was in good hands☺️ Definitely recommend!

Schedule
I’m currently studying to become a certified dog trainer which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m able to dedicate plenty of time for drop-in visits and walks throughout the day and evening. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs so I can easily adjust my day around their needs.
