Best Around Town: Meet Me, Kate!

Hi! I'm Kate. I'm 26 years old, and I've been pet sitting all different kinds of animals for 14 years now. I love working with furry, scaly, and feathered friends. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate, with experience ranging from daily care to basic medical support. My sister, a certified vet tech from Pima Medical Institute, taught me everything I know—so I’m comfortable giving regular medications, insulin shots, and eye/ear drops to pups who need them. I moved here almost five years ago and study psychology at Everett Community College. My big, animal-loving family back home helped shape my passion for pets, and I treat every animal I meet as one of my own. For dogs, I always like to begin with a meet-and-greet at your home to get to know your pet(s) and their routine. I also often require a quick “refresher meeting” before your trip, depending on when the timing of our first meeting is, so your pets recognize me and feel comfortable while you’re away. When you’re gone I’ll provide love, playtime, all the attention they crave, a walk per day if necessary, and top-notch care—so you can travel worry-free knowing your pets are happy and safe! 😊 ------------------------------------------- Pricing: $50/day — Doggie Sleepovers; Includes 24 hours of care for one pet. 1 small walk, feedings, mail/trash handling, and overnight stay with lots of attention! Each additional dog after that is $25 per 24 hours. Drop-in, Daily Visits (Up to 2 drop-ins per day): Dogs: $20 per drop-in, per pup (+$15 every dog after that) Cats: $15 per drop-in, per kitty (+$10 every cat after that) 1 drop-in visit includes 20–45 minutes with feedings, (1 small walk for pups (any extra walks are $10 for a 15 min walk), I will pick up your mail/roll out or back in your trash bins, and of course, playtime! I only do a maximum of two visits per day. Other Pets: For birds, fish, reptiles, and pocket pets, pricing depends on their needs. ☺️ ------------------------------------------- Extra Services, if Requested: Garbage/Recycle: I can roll bins out and back on pickup days. Mail: I can collect your mail, packages, and deliveries to bring them inside the residence. Waste: Full-yard dog poop pickup: $10 per requested instance. ------------------------------------------- Medicine: Pills/powders in food are free of charge. For drops or shots there is a small extra fee. It is always given with patience, gentleness, and detailed updates if you’d like! :) ------------------------------------------- Other Info to Know: ° Late drop-ins after 7:30 pm cost extra unless booked as a sleepover. ° I always love and please request written instructions to ensure every detail is correct! ☺️ ° Care is in your home only. As I unfortunately cannot do pet care in my little apartment. ------------------------------------------- I have great references, a trustworthy reputation, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. Thank you for considering me—I can’t wait to meet you and your fur (or scaly!) babies soon! 😊

Kate watched our two kitties in our home for 3 days. We came home to happy kitties which is always great! Kate sent daily update and gave a long update on her final day before leaving our home. She also checked in a few times leading up to our trip to make sure we were both confirmed and clear on instructions which was appreciated. She also made sure to take out the trash and tidy up after her stay. The only small hiccup was prior to booking. The pricing shown on the listing was not the actual cost. She prices herself a bit different than all other Rover sitters we’ve work with. That said, the total cost was reasonable and we worked it out before I agreed to book.

If you’re looking for a caring person to watch over your furry friends, Kate is wonderful. She’s taken care of our two cats who love her, and went above and beyond to care for my fish aquarium. We are grateful to have found her.

Kate was AWESOME! This was our first time leaving our dog and cat with a non family member. I was a little nervous, but after meeting Kate I was reassured. She did so great with our animals! Our dog struggles with fear aggression and is very shy but she warmed up to Kate. Kate watched our animals during our wedding and it was great to not have to worry about our pets during our already stressful time away! I couldn’t recommend Kate more to stay and take care of your fur babies!

Kate was an amazing sitter! She was very responsive, communicative, and was excellent with both of my cats. I booked her last minute and had several plan changes and she was flexible through it all. Highly recommend Kate, she's great!

I need to please know if your babies have any allergies, even in the slightest, as well as medical conditions. I also request parent(s) phone numbers, at least one emergency contact phone number, and at least 1 vet number minimum to be written down and posted either on the fridge, the counter, or sent to me via text so I can know who to call in case of an emergency. Thank you! Notes written down prior to the visit are also so very much appreciated! Thank you!
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.
