Information Kate P. would like to know about your pet

Please, share veterinary information for emergencies and detailed guidance on medication if any needs to be administered. Also, I am happy to keep communication in your preferred way - just let me know if you would rather have pictures/videos or looking for a break away from the phone!

A typical day

We can certainly play some stimulating games/puzzles and/or do commands training at home (just bring favorite toys ?). For outdoor activities, we have beautiful wooded area around, and happy to take pup on our daily evening stroll with my husband!

My dog Maddy adores Kate and Mike! They clearly are great with her and I couldn’t be happier with them watching her while I’m away.

Maddy adores Kate and her husband Mike. They let her live at their place—really live—and you can tell Maddy loved her stay and them!

Our second time with Kate was just as great as the first! Our pup truly loves her.

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.
