Pet care experience

Hi pet owners!! Nice to meet ya! I’m Katie, and I’ve been on Rover since October 2022! I have a flexible schedule and am very active. I’ve grown up with dogs, but I prefer to be the “cool aunt” now. I adore all breeds and all sizes. Happy to accommodate to all the needs of your fur babies!! A little about me: I’m originally from Chicago, spent 2 years in Austin, and now relocating to Santa Cruz. Once established, I am open to walks, drop ins, and other services. I love to travel. I’ve been to all 50 states and about 20 countries. Rover has been a fun way for me to get that sense of having a pet, since I am on the go too much to have one of my own right now, and I love every minute of it!

Kate was amazing! This was my first time using Rover and I found her to be SUPER responsive and flexible. Our travel plans changed and she was super cool to roll with the changes. I hope she'll walk my dog again - Maya loved her.
