Information Kate G. would like to know about your pet

I love to go on long walks with my dogs. I have an underground fence at my house, so my pups are pretty spoiled with a few acres to rome freely. Fetch, tug of war, you name it- I’ve done it.

Pet care experience

As a dog/cat owner, you can be sure that I will provide twenty two years of experience when taking care of your animal. I am gentle and loving when it comes to these beautiful creatures. I am also someone who is extremely trust worthy and who will love your pet as if it were my own. By providing me with proper information, I can also send you pictures while doing so. I am just a small town girl and college student trying to make a living doing the thing she loves.

I don't even know where to start with how excellent Kate has been. My husband had a partial nephrectomy in St Louis to remove his kidney cancer. We were supposed to be home after 1 one-night stay in the hospital, but his labs dipped too low, and the surgeon required him to stay another night for observation. I was scrambling to find another hotel room, talking to the rental car company, and trying to figure out what to do with the dogs. I was not only worried about my husband's well-being, but also the pups. Kate went above and beyond to ease my mind and offered to continue to care for our pups, even when she was not obligated to do so. One of our pups is a rescue and a bit skittish around new people, but Maggie was giving her hugs and kisses by the second day! I was so happy to see how well she did with the pups and how wonderful and understanding she was to me.

I’m so glad we found Kate. Poppy loved her as soon as she met her, Kate went above our expectations. She’s definitely someone I’d feel secure with to watch our puppy again.

I trusted Kate with my dog during a recuperation post surgery and she was great. Highly recommend. Felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care.

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.
