Fun Family Ready to Spoil Your Pup!

We are new to Rover! We cannot wait to include your pup into our crazy and fun day-to-day activities! We have 2 super sweet goldendoodles who are just dying to meet a new friend. That, in addition to 4 kids, makes for a super fun and active stay while you are away. With my husband working from home and myself teaching preschool only 2 days a week, there is someone in the home 100% of the time. My whole family is super excited to care for and love on your fur baby!

Kate was, without equivocation, the very best sitter we have ever had. She is communicative, caring, and reliable. We have a very young, large breed puppy with lots of energy. She was very adept at socializing him, training, caring for him. If I could give 10 stars for her, we would do so. Awesome. Thank you.

We had such a great experience with Kate and her family! She took wonderful care of our dog and truly went above and beyond to make sure she was happy and comfortable. She was very attentive, communicative, and sent updates that gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell our dog was in great hands, and we really appreciated all the extra care she gave her. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely book with her again!

Great family, they were available last minute and also very responsive. They also sent multiple updates with pictures letting us know that our Daisy was doing good!

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Kate and her family. This was hands down the best pet-sitting experience I have ever had. From the very beginning, Kate made me feel completely at ease and constantly kept me updated on my dog Winnie with so many photos and messages about what she was doing throughout the day. I never once had to wonder how she was doing. Kate and her family went so far above and beyond simply “watching” Winnie, they genuinely welcomed her into their family and loved her like she was their own. They took her on walks, brought her to the park, cuddled and snuggled with her, played with her, and gave her so much attention and affection. Kate even spoiled her with treats and delicious, healthy meals (with my approval!) in addition to the food we provided. What meant the most to me was being able to see just how loved, comfortable, and happy Winnie was with them. Her entire family was so kind and welcoming to her, and it was obvious that they truly enjoyed having her there. Winnie wasn’t treated like a dog they were simply responsible for; she was genuinely made a part of their family while we were away. I have never had a pet sitter make me feel this comfortable leaving my dog before. Knowing Winnie was getting so much love and having such a great time gave me an incredible amount of peace of mind during our trip. Kate is truly amazing, and I would trust her with Winnie again without hesitation. We feel so lucky to have found her and cannot recommend her enough!

Kathleen was great and communicative before and during Rocky’s stay. Rocky had a great time at Kathleen’s place and fun interaction with other dogs and her kids. I absolutely recommend Kate and I so happy to find her.

Schedule

I am a stay at home mom of 4 kids ages 6, 8, 13, and 16. I am an assistant preschool teacher on Mondays and Wednesdays. Other than that, I'm usually home! My husband works from home and fortunately never travels, so there is someone home all of the time.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a very large fenced in back yard with a pool for your pup to play and have fun. The backyard backs up to an active pathway, so there is always a lot of entertainment to watch! Our home is comfy and active. Your pup can relax on the cool wood floor, or have continuous fun with the kids and our doodles. If they don't like a lot of activity, that is fine, too! I will be sure to accommodate whatever your pup needs. During anytime I am unavailable, my husband, Todd, is my backup caretaker. He works from home, so your pup will always be safe and secure. I'll also send plenty of updates and photos, because I know being away from your fur babies can be hard! And please know for everyone's safety, your pup will always be under adult supervision when the kids are around.

Pets

A typical day

Your pup won't just be watched—they'll be part of the fun! Whether we're going on a walk, playing fetch, or getting a few extra belly rubs, I'll make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and love. I want your pup to have such a great time that they can't wait to come back! I may also have one or more additional pups boarding, or here for doggy day care. I always check with all clients and inform them about other dogs that may be here, and I want to make sure all pups are up to date on their vaccinations.
