Energetic and love the outdoors :)

Pet care experience

I love animals and am so grateful for their companionship and simple moments they add to our lives :) I had a dog growing up and was around my friends’ dogs all the time - which I loved. I now have two cats myself (a girl and a boy) and love hanging out with any animals needing care when I’m not at home with them. I have been on Rover 6 years now, and have over 10 years of experience having my own pets and sitting for coworkers/friends’ pets. My sitting experience has included puppy care, senior care, administering medicine/ear drops, special food instructions, leash training, etc. I take pride in taking great care of my animals and gladly extend that to any fellow pets/pet owners. I also can provide updates as often as needed, hope to hear from you soon!

Kat is fantastic! she took great care of our dog, Bear, and our house while we were away for one week. Both Bear and our house were in great shape when we returned!

Kat took good care of our 1 year old lab while we were away for the weekend. She was responsible and responsive. Thanks again for taking care of our fur-baby!

My cat and my bunny love when Kat drops in 🥰 she really cares about my babies and I'm happy when I can leave them in her care!

Kat is always reliable and our boys love her. She’s able to deal with our dog’s individual energy levels and follow our less typical feeding instructions. We highly recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment

I am super careful about being patient with animals that are not familiar with me yet and take their time warming up. I carefully follow pet parents prior guidance and notes about their pets’ habits and personalities - because you of course know them best! And that helps me keep them happy and comfortable while we’re together.

Information Kalkidan " Kat" T. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if they aren't comfortable around groups of dogs and have things I should be cautious to avoid doing. And if they prefer lower intensity exercise and would not enjoy longer or faster paced walks.

A typical day

I do local walks around the residence the dogs are used to or take them to a nearby trail. Depending on the dog's preference and comfort, I will take pet parents’ suggestions on their typical route or local parks they like. I will play anything they want to play really. We can run and play tag, throw the frisbee, or play fetch.

I work remotely so I can keep them company at home, or opt for higher intensity physical activity if that’s their preference. I can easily accommodate to meet their needs, so please don’t hesitate to ask :)
