Gentle Care for Your Sweet Pup
I am a dog-whisperer- dogs who don't trust anybody trust me and I have a knack for understanding what any dog is feeling. My calm and loving energy chills dogs out. I have had the pleasure of having dogs in the family for ten years.

Safety, trust & environment
I live a block from Jefferson Park so your pup will have plenty of sniffing opportunities in the fresh air. I have an unfenced backyard where we can hang out in nice weather, with you on a long lead. Inside pets are welcome on all the furniture, including overnight. We have a bathtub if mud happens. Our house is on a rise so it takes twelve steps to get in the front door. Sadly this means we might not be the best fit for elder dogs with sore hips.
Ratings and reviews
Katharine took such great care of my two Golden Retrievers: Oliver and Apollo. She was extremely communicative, sent lots of photos and both dogs left her house happy and tuckered out! I will definitely ask her to watch them again!
My dog is so excited whenever Kate comes to my door that she runs to the door and alerts me Kate is there before she can even ring our bell and then she greets Kate with many kisses and tail wags. Kate is a natural dog lover and it's obvious that both Kate and my dog get so much satisfaction out of seeing each other. I have known Kate for years and I trust her completely and have always known her to be responsible. She is familiar with my dogs routines and commands and I have no concerns with leaving my dog in her care. Do your dog and favor and introduce them to Kate.
Kate is wonderful with all dogs! She is a caring, conscientious and responsible caregiver. She goes above & beyond to make sure your pet is healthy, safe & happy. Highly recommend her services.
Kate is awesome with dogs! My dog is anxious and usually has a hard time adjusting to new people, but he warmed up to Kate very quickly. She's friendly, warm, and clearly has a way with animals. I highly recommend her!

Schedule
I am a writer so I am in my cozy home, ready to take a walk or pet a pup any time. We can go out whenever nature calls. I take my dog out before breakfast, after lunch, before dinner, and before bed (we just really like walks). On the weekends we usually take a longer hike, depending on the health of our guest dog, often around five miles.
