About: I currently work a full time job so my availability is not consistent, but I do have a lot of blocks of availability on different days so please don’t hesitate to reach out! I have experience taking care of an array of animals including, rabbits, fish, chickens, horses, goats, sheep, and of course dogs and cats. I have been trusted by family and friends for many years to care for their fur friends and overnight sit. I am a graduate of NCSU with a Bachelor in Animal Science. I take pride in focusing on caring for your pets needs and can easily walk dogs or just pop in to check on your animals. My home is unfortunately not available for pets, however in your home I will ensure safety is a number one priority for me and the pet. Always following the owners instructions to ensure you pets are cared for properly.
About: I have 3 years of hands-on pet care experience and have cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I provide attentive, patient, and loving care, including feeding, walks, playtime, and administering basic care as needed. I’m comfortable with both high-energy dogs and more relaxed or senior pets. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and treating every pet like my own. I’m currently active duty, but I have consistent availability for pet care. I’m available after 5 PM on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I’m reliable, punctual, and able to stick to your pet’s routine to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care needs. I provide a calm, clean, and attentive environment and make sure pets are supervised and secure at all times. I’m also very communicative and can provide updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have had both cats and dogs almost my entire life and have worked as a Veterinarian Technician in an animal shelter and for a small family owned Vet. I strive to bring my knowledge and love for animals to my community so that pet care can be more affordable for regular people (such as myself). With the knowledge I have gathered from both working in office, having pets, sitting family pets, and my many years of pet grooming I hope to make my home a safe haven for your pet. We can also discuss natural treatments for pets which I've studied for a while now when it comes to specific breeds, mixed breeds, and their genetic ailments. I will soon be making all natural dog & cat treats for pets. I can also train pets through the treat/clicker system which has worked well for all of my pets and a plenty of others. If you would like for me to train them please let me know. Please contact me directly. I currently work from home and have a really flexible schedule. More than likely your pet will stay in the room with me (if they choose as i love cuddles as much as they might). Your pet can also hang out in the living room if they choose. They will go outside as many times as needed through the day until I get off at 5:30pm which then we will go for a walk. I also have a back yard. In which I will allow them to exert any additional energy throughout the day. I care for pets by paying attention to them and understanding the small hints they give indicating what they need at that time. I also create a potty schedule based on the dogs water/food intake to avoid accidents. I have no pets at the time so your pet will have my full attention. If permitted by the owner, I will groom, bathe, and train their pets.
“Katrina went above and beyond. She took care of our cats with kindness and thoughtfulness throughout our 3 week long trip. She even left my wife and I a sweet honeymoon gift on our counter when we returned home. Her communication and check in were excellent.”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Goldsboro stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
