Dog Lover Extraordinaire

Pet care experience

I have had dogs my entire life. I love wet noses and slobbery kisses. From Chihuahuas to Great Dane's, they are all great creatures that should be treated and cared for as such. Animals are special beings with feelings and emotions just as humans are. I will greet animals with enthusiasm and love on them just like they are part of my family while you are away. I have had experience dealing with leash pullers to gentle giants with dog walking. Our two senior dogs have recently passed and while our family isn’t ready for our own new pet, I’d love to spend some time with yours!

We felt completely at ease leaving our two girls with Kate during our 10 day trip. Kate provided regular updates and a ton of cute photos- we could tell and see that they were loved and in the best hands! We will definitely let our pups have another vacation at her place. She is the best!!!

Katherine and her husband were amazing with our golden retriever, Dexter. She sent updates and photos every morning and evening which we absolutely loved. They took Dexter on walks, played outside with him and he really made himself at home. He is a very skiddish dog so I was so happy to have him at a place where he was the only dog and not only did we feel comfortable leaving him, but he also enjoyed his stay without having to be anxious as he is at a boarding facility with lots of other dogs. We have already booked with Katherine to watch Dexter for another trip coming up next month.

Kat was incredible with our boys from the moment they trotted into her home! We always go by the vibe of how they engage people, and our boys loved being with her!! She spoiled them absolutely rotten and sent us tons of photos & updates every single day. Kat took EXCELLENT care of them and we’ll definitely be hiring her again — highly recommend!!

Katherine did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Alfons. She kept him active with walks and plenty of playtime, and it was clear when we picked him up that he had a wonderful time. She also sent regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We knew Alfons was in excellent hands and truly enjoyed his little doggy vacation.
