Information Kat O. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs, such as medication requirements or any physical limitations. My goldendoodle (my whole heart, Henry) recently passed. He had Addison’s disease and required daily medication and a monthly injection and so I’m familiar with working with special needs pets. He also had a fungus infection in his sinuses which required constant cleanup and multiple medications throughout the day.

A typical day

Hikes, dog parks (if appropriate), and at least 1 long walk per day, or more, depending on whether there is a yard available for your pet to play in.

Animal Lover Extraordinaire

Pet care experience

My name is Kat and I am an attorney who works fully remote. I have been working with cats and dogs, professionally, since I was 13 years old, which is when I started working at my cousin’s pet shop in Illinois. I also had my own dog-walking business by that same age. I’ve grown up around animals and I have been dubbed the “animal whisper” by many of friends. I enjoy working with animals, both large and small (cats included). When I am dog sitting, I like to take my furry friends on long walks and hikes, head to the dog park, and frequent other pet-friendly spots in the area, dependent on capabilities and permission. I am looking forward to meeting and caring for your pet! If pickup/stay is on the last day is after 11:00am please book for that day.

Kat did such a great job caring for my two senior dogs. It was such a relief to know that they were being looked after by someone I could trust. She was responsive and send plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. I came back to two happy and healthy girls and thats all someone can ask for. I will definitely be booking with Kat again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
