About Kate

22 years experience

Experienced Dog Lover You Can Trust

Hi everyone, I’m Kate. Growing up surrounded by dogs, my passion for these amazing companions has been a lifelong journey. With over 20 years of experience caring for my own dogs, ranging from small breeds like Miniature Pinschers, Shih Tzus, Poodles, and German Spitz Kleins, to larger breeds like Huskies and Golden Retrievers, I’ve developed a deep bond and understanding of their needs. All of my dogs have been adopted, and I know firsthand the challenges they face in learning to trust humans again after being abandoned. This has driven me to be a dedicated and responsible pet owner, always treating them as cherished members of my family. I’ve recently moved to Nederland and deeply miss my 14-year-old Golden Retriever Dondon back home, which has only strengthened my commitment to providing the same level of care and love to every dog I meet. Currently, my dog Dondon who’s back home being lovingly cared for by my parents. Knowing he’s in good hands gives me peace of mind, and I want to provide the same comfort to other pet owners when they’re away from their beloved pets. Dogs have been my constant companions and bring so much joy into my life, and I’m dedicated to giving that love back through my pet care services. Whether it's a wagging tail or a comforting cuddle, I cherish every moment spent with your pet and strive to make them feel as cherished as they are. Let me be the one to shower your dog with love and care while you’re away, ensuring they always feel safe, happy, and loved.

Kate is absolutely amazing ❤️. She sends regular updates, pictures, movies. Her love for dogs is so genuine and I would not trust anyone more to take care of your furry child(ren) than Kate. I could see Poppi had the best time and was taken care of with so much love and attention. I think Poppi would not have mind staying a few more days 🤭.

Response from Kate

Thank you Emma for your kind words ❤️ It means a lot to know you felt comfortable and confident while Poppi was with me. I always make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and at home—and Poppi absolutely did! He was a pleasure to care for, and I’d be more than happy to have him stay again 🐾”

Onze hond heeft werkelijk een prima tijd gehad bij Kate. Ze is super lief, zorgzaam en betrokken. We hebben eerst kennisgemaakt en ze heeft daarbij allerlei vragen gesteld over de gewoontes en het karakter van onze hond. Ze stuurde met regelmaat foto's en video's wat mij een fijn gevoel gaf. Zoek je een oppas in Arnhem? Ik beveel Kate echt van harte aan!!

Bössel heeft een nachtje mogen logeren bij Kate. Bössel heeft altijd wat tijd nodig om te ontdooien. Kate nam alle tijd en gaf mijn viervoeter alle aandacht en geduld die hij nodig heeft. Kate biedt een hele liefdevolle omgeving waarin honden zichzelf snel thuis voelen. Bössel wil zeker nog een keertje terug naar Kate!

Very sweet sitter. My dog can get anxious around new people but she was really comfortable around Kate. Got frequent updates and could tell it was a good match!

If you need someone to take care of your pet, Kate is the perfect person. She truly loves animals, and this shows in how she looks after her 12-year-old Golden Retriever, Dondon. Dondon is playful, loving, and friendly, and that's because Kate is always patient and caring. Kate doesn't just take care of her dog’s basic needs; she really understands how her pet feels. Even when Dondon was sick, Kate stayed by his side, giving him all the love and support he needed. For Kate, pets are not just animals — they are family and a special part of her life. If you want someone who will treat your pet with the same love and care that you do, choose Kate.
