Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong Dog Lover & Doodle Fan
I’ve been a dog lover my whole life, and over the summer said goodbye to my sweet golden doodle of 14 years. He was my bud, and caring for him from puppyhood into his older years taught me so much about love, patience, and the little things dogs need to feel safe and happy. Over the years, I’ve also helped care for neighbors’ and friends’ dogs, everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who needed a gentler care. I’m confident giving medication, following feeding routines, and making sure every dog feels loved. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like family. I’ll send plenty of updates, give lots of love, and make sure your dog is well cared for while you’re away.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routines, feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they might need, so things feel familiar while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
My dog loves Kate! She took good care of him and kept me updated on how he was doing.
Katherine H. cancelled a booking 3 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Kate was great! Misty seemed super comfortable in her home and was happy when we picked her up.
I have two dogs and two cats and I have gone long weekend trip trips while kate has watched my pets. She had the responsibility of feeding, taking my dogs on walks, changing the cat litter and spending quality time with them. I trust her with any of my animals for a long period of time as they always seem very well taken care of once I get back from my trip
Kate took care of my dog when I was away during the holidays and she fed them right on schedule and made sure to walk them multiple times of the day. She is great with dogs, cats, really anything. She also has expressed wanting to maybe own a kennel when she’s older.

Schedule
Pet care fits well into my daily life because I’m a senior at the University of Iowa with a flexible schedule. I’m currently taking two classes online and two in person, which leaves me with plenty of open time throughout the day. This allows me to be consistent and reliable with pet care, whether that’s daily walks, feeding, or staying overnight.
