Kate has enriched both Spike’s life and ours in immeasurable ways. She treats him like her own—with lots of love and attention. Spike is unbelievably excited to see Kate each and every time—he wiggles, grins and practically leaps into her arms. He always comes home happy and tuckered out after a full schedule of walks, dog park visits, snuggles, and playtime with her dogs. It gives us such peace of mind to send off our little baby knowing he’s in great hands and surrounded by love—not just from Kate, but also from her daughter, her dogs (now Spike’s best friends), and her whole family.
 
In addition to being a warm and conscientious caregiver, Kate is incredibly knowledgeable about dog behavior. When Spike has medical issues, we feel at ease knowing she’ll monitor his symptoms closely, track any changes, and provide thoughtful updates. We’ve also noticed real improvements in his leash walking, recall, and separation anxiety, certainly thanks to Kate’s good care.
 
After finding Kate, we quickly started budgeting more days for Spike to stay with her because the care she provides is such high value. Spike doesn’t just have a place to stay—he has someone who brings joy, enrichment, and growth into his life. Kate is his second mama, trainer, and doggie theme park provider all rolled into one. If we could design the perfect person to care for our precious little boy, it would be Kate. We are beyond grateful!
