Pet care experience

Experienced Lifetime Pet Owner 🐕🐈

I have grown up with pets my whole life. I don't remember a time when I haven't had a dog or cat around. With that background, I have developed experience with puppies/kittens as well as young, adult, and senior dogs and cats. I have cleaned up WAY too many messes, that has to count for something! 😁 When I moved from home,it was the first time w/out either a dog or cat and I realized how important pets really are.

Kate was fabulous with our three pups! She came over, entertained them, and made sure they got their exercise and potty breaks while we were away for the day. Kate is so kind; and everyone seemed like they had a nice day when we got home. Thanks, Kate!

Kate was excellent! She took great care of my senior cat and always provided updates at each visit. I will definitely use her services again and highly recommend!

Kate exceeded all expectations. This was our first time using rover and having someone watch our cats that my fiancé and I didn’t know personally. Kate’s communication and attention to detail made being away from home feel so much less stressful. We will absolutely be booking with Kate again for future trips. Thank you so much again Kate!

Kate was great! Very accommodating to our dog who is new to having strangers dropping in to see her. She followed all of our directions and was very communicative!

Kate was fantastic, sent plenty of pics and my sometimes shy kitty hung out with her and got lots of pats which was wonderful. She was super communicative and helpful and I’d totally use her again!

In the last couple years on my own, I have had a senior dog with anxiety difficulties so I have some special experience with these symptoms and behaviors. Currently I live with a senior kitty and love the old lady vibe she brings. I am looking forward to be a help to fellow pet owners; I know what it's like to desire the best for my pet! You can depend on me, I'm the best caregiver paw-sible! 😉

Things I would love to know about your dog or cat beforehand would be about any medication they might need to take, any special foods that they need, and if we're going for a walk, the way that they react to humans or other dogs.
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.
