Pet care experience
Honestly-Life is better with Dogs!
I've had dogs in my life since I was 5. I grew up with Goldens, German Shephards and Labs mostly. I had a pug of my own as well as a black lab. I have 4 siblings and they all have 1-2 dogs and we all laugh that we treat them like humans ie: sometimes they eat better than us! (wink wink). More recently, I lived in a place that wouldn't allow dogs so I would get my dog fix going on my daily walks especially in Encinitas where they are everywhere. But I thought getting into dog sitting/walking would allow me to be around them even more. They are good for the soul.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am unable to have pets in my home at the moment although that is going to change in the next few months. As far as coming to your home, I am very respectful, reliable and will treat your dog like it's my own.
Ratings and reviews
Kate is genuinely so in love with animals and treats mine as I do. She is very responsible and organized so I never have to worry about her forgetting details or not being able to adjust to schedule changes or anything like that. I would trust her with my fur babies anytime!!
Kate is truly the kind of person you hope to find when you’re looking for someone to care for your fur baby. She’s grown up with dogs her whole life and genuinely loves them and it shows. And she's already the go-to for friends when they need someone to watch their dogs, which says a lot! She has such a genuine, bubbly love for animals which you can feel it the second she’s around them. She’s always been a dog lover but what really stands out is how deeply she cares. She recently helped care for a friend’s senior dog who was sick and she showed up for him in the most beautiful way by loving on him, being patient, and staying by his side all the way through his last day. She treated him like he was her own and that says everything about the kind of heart she has! Kate is warm, trustworthy, and just full of love. I'd trust her with my own dogs in a heartbeat! Honestly, if she's taking care of your dog, you’re in really good hands.
Kate is the best! My pets love her. She always on time and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my animals! I’d give her 100 stars, if I could.
Kate took care of my two fur babies Leo and Ruby various times while my family was outta town and took the most exceptional care for them ! She was so loving and communicative and made us feel at peace leaving our pups. We got so many updates and the cutest pictures constantly. Leo and Ruby absolutely loved her and I would hire her everytime !! She was the best !!!
Kate is truly the best babysitter we have ever met. Our dogs are more than just backyard animals, they are our babies, and Kate treats them just like humans. She always goes the extra mile and gives us peace of mind knowing our pups are in good hands. I truly believe our dogs like Kate more than us haha. I can't recommend Kate enough. Anyone would be lucky to have her look after their pets.

Schedule
I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. So I can be available for last minute things that may come up and I'm am able to be at the house/do walks often if needed. I walk about 2 hours a day as it is so it would be in even better addition to my routine to have a dog with me!
