Highlights
Pet care experience
Guaranteed tail wags!
While I am new to Rover, I’ve been around dogs my whole life, so taking care of them comes really naturally to me. I grew up with dogs, which helped me learn a lot about their behavior, routines, and different personalities. I’m a huge animal lover with two HIGH energy dogs at home who are my very best friends!! I also have some experience pet sitting, including taking care of older dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I have been pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was very young and so I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs, whether they’re super energetic or more laid-back. I understand it can be nerve wracking to leave your fur babies with someone else, but it is my priority to make the experience as safe, comfortable, fun, and as easy as possible! I’m reliable, detail oriented, and I genuinely love being around animals and of course, you’ll get routine updates, photos, and active communication regarding how your pets are doing so you’ll never have to worry. Im excited at the opportunity to love your pet like they are my own and to make your pet as happy as possible while you’re away!

Safety, trust & environment
I try to keep things as normal as possible for every pet I watch so they don’t feel stressed while their owner is away. I’ll stick to their usual routine, but I also pay attention to the little things like how they’re acting, their energy level, or if something seems off. If anything changes, I’ll always play it safe and reach out right away instead of guessing. I prioritize mindfulness in other’s homes, double checking doors are locked, making sure anything your pet could get into is put away, and leaving everything how I found it.
Ratings and reviews
Kate was so wonderful! She helped us out with a last minute request and took excellent care of our dog. She sent great photos and kept us up to date on all of her visits. We really appreciated how sweet she was to our dog and us as well. She also helped keep our flowers alive during the very hot weather. We hope to use her again!!
Kate did a really really good job with my elderly dog Fitzgerald. Fitz has a really hard time getting along with other people but Kate always felt welcome in Fitz’s presence. She did an awesome job communicating concerns and updates about Fitz’s wellbeing, which was a relief as I’ve had issues with other sitters in the past. Fitzgerald loves her and I’d book her again without hesitation :D
I have one older dog and one puppy and Kate is incredibly caring and responsible. She is incredibly patient, attentive, and truly loves animals. Any pet in her care will be treated like family and receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. My dogs adore her and I know to call her if I ever need a safe, loving, and dependable environment for my dogs while i’m away.
Kate is fantastic in every way including being such an animal lover! She looked after my dog many times (house sitting and dog walking) when she was in highschool. She took such good care of my home and she is one of my dog's favorite people!! She is kind and respectful and a joy to work with. I couldn't recommend her any more highly.

Schedule
Staying active is really important to me, both for my mental and physical health, as well as the pets I care for, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I love being able to combine that with caring for fur babies, especially giving energetic dogs the exercise, playtime, and attention they need. Regular check-ins are easy for me to fit in, and since I’m a college student with classes only two days a week, I have a flexible schedule.
