Pet care experience

Keep calm and love animals!

Hi there! I’m so excited to be back on Rover and caring for pets again. 🐾 I took a hiatus from pet sitting & dog walking after a big life transition that involved moving to Aurora and temporarily losing access to a vehicle. Now that I’m back in the Capitol Hill/Denver area, I’m thrilled to reopen my profile and start spending time with animals again — even though I’m still car-free for the moment. While transportation currently limits how far I can travel, it absolutely does not limit the love, attention, patience, and care I give to every pet I work with. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. You’ll see from my reviews that I have extensive experience, happy repeat clients, and a strong track record of treating pets like family — including 43 repeat pet parents! I maintain a 96% response rate, usually reply in under an hour, and provide quality photo updates for every booking through Rover Cards usually with detailed updates (if owner is open to them) so you always feel connected to your pet while you’re away. I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your pet needs cuddles, playtime, walks, medication support, patience with anxiety, or just someone who truly enjoys being around animals — I’d love to help. 💛

House Sitting • May 03, 2026

We are so grateful for Kate’s love and attention with our house and dogs! Kate was patient and kind to them, gave them extra walks and consistently gave them enrichment treats, and sent tons of pictures and detailed updates. And somehow Kate left our home even cleaner than we did after the stay. We would definitely work with Kate again!

Kate did a great job watching our two cats, Cleo and Dusty, while we were out of town. Her pictures and report cards were great, and we were very much at ease with her fantastic communication. Thank you Kate!

A typical day

I typically only do cat care but am open to caring for your dog in your home if needed. I would walk them as necessary and of course love on them pretty much nonstop! That bit is for me, not just for them =)

Let me know if your animal needs medications or anything along those lines. Although my profile does not mention that I administer medications I am open to doing some so depending on your pets temperament.
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.
