Pet care experience

Treats Every Pet as My Own ❤️

I've been a Rover sitter for almost a year and have proudly maintained Star Sitter status for more than eight months. I love meeting new pets and providing reliable, loving care. I send lots of pictures and updates though out the day that gives owners peace of mind while they're away. I grew up surrounded by animals and have always had cats in my home, along with a sweet family dog. From a young age, I learned how to care for pets with patience, love, and consistency whether that meant cleaning litter boxes, going on daily walks, keeping up with feeding routines, or giving plenty of snuggles and attention. Throughout high school and college, I regularly walked, fed, and stayed overnight with neighbors' pets, including extended stays with dogs and puppies. One of my longest pet-sitting jobs lasted over two weeks, caring for two dogs, including a high-energy puppy and making sure they received multiple walks, exercise, playtime, and lots of affection each day. At home, I have a playful cat named Ash and we're currently fostering an adorable kitten named Winnie. Caring for them has strengthened my understanding of different personalities, routines, and the patience every pet deserves. I've cared for pets with a wide range of temperaments, from energetic dogs to shy cats, and I always take the time to make each one feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own while respecting the routines and care instructions that help them feel at home. I also believe communication is important, so I'll keep you updated with messages and photos, giving you peace of mind while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet and home with the same care I’d want for my own. During the first meeting, I take time to make sure your pet feels comfortable with me, building trust is so important. I follow routines closely, create a calm, safe space, and stay attentive to each pet’s unique needs. I also keep you updated so you always feel confident they’re in good hands.

We were impressed the first time and booked Katarina again. Katarina is very communicative, friendly, and took great care of our dogs. She sends lots of pictures. I would recommend having her watch your pets.

This was my first time using a dog sitter and I am blown away. The updates and pictures that Katarina sends really puts you at ease and lets you see that your pets are having a great time. Expectations exceeded and I will be booking with Katarina again.

Schedule

I provide overnight house sitting in your home while maintaining your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I work a full-time job during the week, so I'll be away during the workday, but I always make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, potty breaks, meals, exercise, playtime, and lots of love before I leave and as soon as I return. In addition to house sitting, I also offer drop-in visits and dog walks. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a walk to burn off energy, or some extra companionship while you're away, I'm happy to help. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and can spend even more quality time with your pet. If your pet requires constant care or more frequent daytime supervision, please let me know before booking so we can make sure I'm the right fit. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care and ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away.

I always like to know as much as possible before watching a pet so I can give them the best care. Things like their daily routine, energy level, favorite toys, and any quirks or fears (like loud noises or strangers) are super helpful. If they take medication, have allergies, or don’t get along with other animals, I definitely want to know ahead of time. Every pet is different, and I want to make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood.
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.
