Katie is, hands down, one of the most reliable, attentive, and caring animal lovers I have ever met. She doesn't just "watch" pets—she treats them like family from the second she steps through the door. I’ve watched Katie handle everything from energetic dogs who need structured exercise to shy, timid cats who usually hide from guests. Her intuition with animal behavior is remarkable; she instantly reads their body language, knows when they need extra play, and knows when they just need a calm, reassuring presence. She is incredibly detail-oriented, always sticking strictly to feeding schedules, medication routines, and specific house rules without missing a beat. Beyond her affection for animals, she is completely dependable and communicative. You will never have to worry or wonder how your pets are doing because she keeps you updated with sweet photos and thoughtful check-ins. If you are looking for someone who will love and protect your pets just as much as you do, Katie is the absolute best person for the job. I couldn't recommend her more highly!

I am very happy to recommend Katie as a pet caregiver with Rover. I met Katie about seven years ago through our work as real estate agents, and she immediately struck me as someone who was friendly, sincere, and genuinely kind. We struck up an immediate friend trip. I remember many Zoom meetings with Katie’s cat either curled up in her lap or climbing onto her shoulder. It was obvious from the beginning that she isa cat lover, and has a special love for animals. As I got to know Katie better and spent more time with her, I saw that her kindness toward animals was simply part of who she Those still a cat lover and owner, Katie and her husband adopted their dog, Hoya. Hoya has certainly been a handful at times, although he has mellowed as he has aged. Through it all, Katie has been a wonderful and devoted pet parent. She and her husband truly treat all of their pets as family. They take Hoya with them constantly on hikes and outings always ensuring his well- More recently, Hoya experienced a serious medical situation, and Katie went above and beyond to make sure he received the care, attention, and support he needed for the best possible recovery. Her dedication to him speaks volumes about the kind of person and pet caregiver she is. Katie is a kind, compassionate, responsible animal lover, and I would trust her completely with the care of my own beloved dogs and cat. I would feel entirely comfortable knowing that any animal in Katie’s care would be treated with the same patience, affection, and concern that she gives her own pets. I wholeheartedly recommend Katie to anyone looking for someone they can trust to care for an important member of their family.
