Safety, trust & environment

I trust that every dog has their own personality, skills and issues. With this being said, I want to make sure every dog gets the care they need no matter what.

Information Kate B. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know if their are any specific behaviors that dog may display towards a new person, including jumping biting, etc. I also love to know what kind of toys they like to play with! My dog will only play with long squeaker toys, so the more I know the better I can play!

A typical day

If able to, I love to take dogs to parks to get some of their energy out! Typically I like to stay on paths with tons of grass and trees to keep them entertained.

Kate has been amazing with taking care of Pandora! She’s patient, caring, and very dependable. Kate gives very detailed notes and we always feel like Pandora is getting top tier care! Thank you Kate!

Kate did a great job of watching our two French Bulldogs overnight. She knows them well from doing occasional walks with them. They were happy to see her and Kate provided us with lots of feedback about the stay.

We used Kate several weeks for a short term assignment. She was friendly and very communicative with us about her walks with our two Frenchies. Our dogs enjoyed her company!

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.
