Loving, active, and playful care!
Pet care experience
Hello, My name is Kate and I live in the Boston area. I have never had a dog of my own, but have always loved looking after my brother's two dogs, as well as those belonging to other friends of mine. My experience has primarily consisted of occasional overnight/extended dog sitting and occasional dog walking for family members and friends. I really enjoy caring for dogs, and would like to gain more experience working with them. I work a part-time job so availability is a bit sporadic, but can be still be somewhat flexible based on your needs. I am active, engaging, and energetic and would be happy to take your dog out for a walk/run or just some play time in the yard or a nearby park. I've always wanted my own dog, and hope to someday get one, but for now I have lots of love to offer yours. I especially love little dogs!
Reviews
Spoiler alert - Katie is the best. We were looking for sitters for Lucy while we were in Florida, but our needs are a little specific. Lucy needs a fenced-in yard, she prefers people over dogs, and she hasn't grown out of her separation anxiety yet. Katie came to our home, where Lucy feels safe, and took care of her for 4 days, including overnights. Our flight was delayed and we had to extend our stay, and luckily Katie was not only available but very willing to keep Lucy safe until we returned. Katie also sent photos, updates on her eating and business schedule, and was very communicative the whole trip. She even watered the plants at our request and brought in the mail! Although we hadn't met before, we knew immediately we could trust her. Lucy is also very happy - and her endorsement is validation enough! I almost didn't want to write this review so we could keep Katie for ourselves, but she is hard-working and more than capable and deserves all the business she can get. We are keeping her on speed-dial for next time, and she already told us she's happy to help again. Thank you a million times Katie. You're the best.

Information Katherine G. would like to know about your pet
I find it very important to be aware of any specific needs your dog may have, and if there are particular requests you have for their care. I also find it helpful to know what to expect in terms of how they may react to being with someone new and unfamiliar, as well as how they typically interact with other dogs or people on the street. I am usually most comfortable with small-medium sized dogs, but have no preferences as to which breed or age they may be.
A typical day
I enjoy exploring new neighborhoods around the city, as well as walking on trails or paths in less busy areas. I also like taking trips to nearby parks, to give dogs the opportunity to play with other dogs and make new friends! In addition to outdoor activities, I love spending time inside offering cuddles and or a simple scratch behind the ears. I am always open to suggestions and recommendations for the best places to go in the area!
