Information Kate P. would like to know about your pet

***meet and greet required prior to first booking*** I would like to know your dog's temperament, special needs or quirks and how your dog interacts with other dogs. I might also like to know how your dog gets into trouble at home so I have a leg up on him while you're away! I do not have any breed preferences.

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog 30-60 minutes? This is negotiable depending on my schedule and the needs or your dog(s). Extra house-sitting services I can bring in mail and take care of kitties or other small pets.

I was a dog in a previous life!

Pet care experience

My name is Kate and I used to be an emergency vet tech. I switched over to human patients and pretty much all the time miss interacting with other people's animals! I am available pretty much any time and I can dogsit at your place or mine, depending on what your needs are. I can handle "special needs" dogs, be they physical or emotional and can make sure your pet gets any needed medications. I have my own reliable transportation to assist with meeting your needs. I can help with kitties too! Why I love dog sitting I can not remember a time when I didn't love dogs. As a kid, I roamed my neighborhood and walked many of my neighbors' dogs every day. For a long time, most of my friends were people I had met through their dogs. I worked for awhile as a groomer and then worked as a vet tech for eight years before moving to human medicine. My experience administering medication: I am, even with difficult dogs who hate getting medicated. I have years of experience doing this as a vet tech.

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.
