Pet care experience

Consistent, Reliable Pet Care

I've had dogs and cats my entire life and I have petsat for friends and neighbors since I was in high school! I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages—from energetic puppies to laid-back seniors. My own dog is 16! I have reliable transportation, am highly organized, and keep my calendar up to date so communication and scheduling are always smooth. Your pet’s routine, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities, and I strive to give you peace of mind while you’re away.

Kate is a true animal lover and will take excellent care of your pets. She has years of experience and you should have no worries about leaving your babies in her care.

When I lived in Nashville, Kate was my go to pet sitter! My dog takes awhile to warm up to new people and she was incredibly patient and kind. She always made sure my dog got her allergy pill and handled all her quirks with ease.

I highly recommend Kate Hatfield for dog sitting. For several years, Kate has cared for my dog,Harry, and did a wonderful job ( he is always happy to see her). Kate got to know Harry’s schedule & feeding habits & kept me updated in a timely fashion. When traveling , I never worry about him since he is in Kate’s capable hands.

Kate has been taking care of my cat for close to 10 years. She is very trustworthy and empathetic. Each time she watches her, she goes above and beyond. She even send updates and pictures! I travel a lot for work, and Kate is always my first call. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!

Daily Routines: What are their exact feeding times, portion sizes, and potty schedules? I strive to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. Behavior & Triggers: How do they react to other dogs, cats, or strangers on walks? Are they afraid of loud noises like thunder, fireworks, or vacuums? Alone Time Comfort: How long can they safely and comfortably be left alone? Do they need to be crated when I step out, or do they have free roam? Medical Needs & Allergies: Please let me know about any strict dietary restrictions, allergies, or medications (including precise dosages and administration instructions). Quirks & Favorites: Do they have a favorite toy, a preferred sleeping spot, or any unique quirks I should watch out for? Knowing these details helps me prevent anxiety, avoid triggers, and provide the absolute best care tailored specifically to your pet!
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.
