About Kate

Hi my name is Kate I am 26 year old student. I have been around animals all my life and worked within the pet industry in a highly regarded independent pet shop in Canberra for almost 3 years (2016-2019). I am currently studying a Bachelor of Science via distance. I have been working as a dog walker in Canberra for over a year and am looking to increase my private clients in this area.

I have owned fish, birds, a dog, a cat and horses. No animal is too big or too small for me. I have a cert III Companion animal qualification and with my pet shop experience, I have been exposed to all types of pets and love 8-week-old puppies, senior dogs to 60 + kg dogs. I know how to clean and look after cold water and tropical tanks, handle birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, mice, lizards, turtles and of course cats. I have personal experience with horses and farm animals as well.

I have experience walking dogs of all sizes, ages and all levels of reactivity. Through my certificate, I know basic animal first aid and am confident giving any medications any animals may need. I have experience with basic dog training and knowledge of enrichment activities.

I have worked with rescue cats and dogs as well as blind/vision impaired and deaf dogs.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions

I am currently primarily offering dog walking pricing is as below (excluding madpaws fees)

30 minutes $30
60 minutes $40
90 minutes $50

*additional dogs will cost $10 for the first $5 for every dog after that
*preferred area for clients is Northside Canberra, repeat weekly bookings will be prioritised

Letti was well cared for and house was the way we left it. Kate also had to administer meds this time around which appeared to have been done smoothly and confidently. We will always rebook Kate for our future holidays if she is available

Our dog absolutely adores kate! We doubt she even misses us when we are gone because she is so well taken care of. Kate sends daily photos which is great and she also has such a wealth of knowledge about animals! It helps knowing our fur child is in such great caring hands!!! Would highly recommend kate and will definately re book her :)
