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 punctual and communicated well! I’m happy with how she took care of my girl and would book her again!

We highly recommend Kate without reservation! We have never left our kittens, Crystal and Opal, with anyone since we were apprehensive to have anyone else watch them. We had heard great things about Rover and were lucky to find Kate! She was so flexible to meet all of our needs since we also have fish! It was very assuring to get a daily report from Kate with photographs showing them playing and being happy with her! We were so pleased with everything and highly recommend her! We will definitely be using her services again soon and will be repeat customers!

Kate is very friendly and responsive and was able to accommodate a meet and greet and drop in visit on relatively short notice. I appreciate her spending time with my pup even when he can be a bit shy with strangers. Thanks so much!

This is our second time using Kate for our pet sitting needs, always a challenge since we have such a variety of pets, and she is very reliable and responsive! We recommend her wholeheartedly. Thanks Kate!

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.
