Pet care experience

10 Years in the Pet-Sitting Biz

I've been taking care of other people's pets in their homes since I was 16! Over the course of my 10 years of experience, I have also worked in a rescue shelter and doggy daycare/boarding facility. Through working in these various settings and caring for my own aging pup, I have experience giving medications and other specialty care for senior and high need dogs (both behavioral and medical).

Safety, trust & environment

As I'm not taking on boarders in my own home, I'm happy to work with whatever set-up you have for your pet. I like to meet the pets in advance so that they recognize me, and I can get a walkthrough of their routine.

Kate takes great care of our two huskies! Follows all directions to a T and even goes above and beyond. Very grateful to have found her :)

Kate let out and hung out with our anxious huskies and we hope she will continue to do so! Does everything we ask and more!

She was right on time, and took Roscoe for a nice, long walk. She and Roscoe got along great!

Kate has been the most wonderful addition to my life and my dogs lives. When Kate first came into my life, I had 3 dogs (one very old and sick, a stereotypical dominant herd guardian, and a highly reactive/dog aggressive COVID puppy that was surrendered to me from a less than ideal situation). I could not use a regular kennel so I just never went on vacation. When I found Kate, I finally started living again! She could handle all of my dogs needs, which were varied and many. She has been kind, respectful, and good at communicating with me about my dogs while I'm gone. I have nothing but good things to say and am so grateful for her.

I can not say enough good things about Kate as our dog sitter. We have had Kate watch our 2 dogs for several years and we have always known they were receiving the best fur buddy care. Whether we are gone for 2 weeks or 2 days, Kate sends us daily updates, including text messages, and the all important puppo pictures. It is very clear that she and our dogs enjoy spending time together! I highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, attentive dog sitter :)

Schedule

I'm currently between jobs so my schedule is as flexible as required, so long as I'm not otherwise booked. This makes me perfect for walks and drops in during your work day.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Kate can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I start by asking if they have any behavioral issues or quirks to know about, like specific triggers or things to watch out for. Also important to know are any medical or physical needs and how I can help assist. Finally, the pet's general schedule and likes/dislikes round out the whole picture.
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.
