Pet care experience

I'll care for your pup like my own!

I have had pets my entire life, including my current best friend who I spend most of my free time with outdoors and playing. Though I am new to Rover, I have worked as a pet sitter for six years now as an official job around my other life commitments. I have cared for dogs of all types and sizes, have worked on training with small pups as well as adopted dogs who are a bit older. I love dogs and would be thrilled to walk and hang and play and care for your pup as my own!

Kate is an excellent caregiver! I’ve never met anyone who cares for animals more than she does! A dog owner herself, she often puts the needs of her own pet before herself, which says a lot about the kind of person she is!

Katie has been a pet lover since I have known her. She is very cautious and responsible when it comes to taking care of our dogs. She gives loving attention and spoils them, which they love. I would highly recommend her to anyone I know

Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to have pups in my home or in yours. I only take one overnight stay at a time to ensure they have all the care and attention they need. I have experience with dogs of all backgrounds, including dogs who have some hesitancy or trust issues with humans. I am 120% committed to the care and safety of your pet.

A typical day

I enjoy ensuring a dog is happy, healthy, and stimulated. We walk to get in all the good smells, explore low trafficked trails near me. Keep to the schedule that will make your pup feel most at ease and at home. Theres also always dedicated time for playing in the house or yard, snuggles and pets if they want them, or plenty of space given to them if they need it!

Its helpful to know the schedule you regularly keep for your pet so that I can ensure they are as comfortable as possible. If there are any medications or special needs I want to know ahead to plan accordingly. Lastly any behavioral flags I should be aware of and what is their temperament like.
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.
