Safety, trust & environment

I like to model the routines and habits your pet keeps at home - feeding and potty times stay the same, frequent walks, allowed on furniture or not depending on your rules at home - you can count on lots of 1 on 1 attention for your pup when they are in my care - pets, snacks, and company. When boarding or in your home, your animals will hardly be left alone unless I have prior appointments during your scheduled visit. If that's the case the animals are never alone for longer than 4-6 hours and I make sure they are pottied and fed beforehand. I also provided additional house care services like collecting mail, taking out trash and recycling, dog poop removal, and I like to keep the house cleaner than when I arrive before I leave.

Information Kat S. would like to know about your pet

Whether they are good with other dogs/people, any medications, if your dog has any ailments or past medical conditions/surgeries, if your dog has any allergies, if your dog is shy/aggressive, key words your dog responds to (commands), favorite snack/toy

A typical day

Like a mini play date visit with your pet while you’re away for work or vacation. Depending on your pets needs, we make sure your dog is exercised and goes potty each day, keeping company, providing meals if requested, treats & belly rubs. Drop in care and overnight sitting is usually provided in the home and backyard of your pet. If walks are requested, we do a 30 minute walk around the pet’s neighborhood. Pets are never taken off their home premises for care unless in case of a medical emergency.

Hi, I'm Kat. A USAF Veteran, prior LMT, creative and dog walker/sitter living in Tucson I have extensive experience taking care of homes and pets, including horses, chickens and rabbits. I have a strong passion for animals, nature and wildlife. Whether you need someone to drop in for 30/45 minutes to visit & exercise your pup or you’re going away on vacation & need a house/pet sitter or prefer to board at my place, I am available on short notice, I'm reliable, communicative and pay attention to detail. I have medication dispensing experience. Worked with elder dogs and new pups. **Holiday rates and puppy care rates apply I’d love to chat, please feel free to contact me and ask me any questions you may have! Thank you for your time - keep waggin’!

Kat took good care of Ellie and our home. She sent us pictures and communicated well while we were away.

Kat was so wonderful with my sweet Sophie. I appreciated her giving me updates and making my Sophie feel right at home. I’d highly recommend Kat for anyone looking for someone kind to watch their doggie.

Kat took amazing care of our pup while we were away! She went above and beyond to keep her happy and relaxed—giving her massages, making sure she got plenty of exercise, and even playing calming music to help her feel at ease. It was clear our dog was in loving, attentive hands the whole time. We came home to a relaxed and happy pup. Highly recommend Kat for anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter!

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.
