Your Paw-fect Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi there! I am a friendly, clean and patient person. I love going for walks in nature and getting outdoors. I have had a love for all animals from a young age making joining rover an easy decision. I am located in Halifax, NS and work in Data Transformation in the Finance Industry. At the end of 2019, we lost our beautiful Goldendoodle Maggie at 13 years old. From experience, I know how important it is to find someone to look after your pet, whom you trust and will treat your dog with the same love that they would treat their own. I am looking forward to spending some time with your pet and keeping their needs at my highest priority.

Kate is an amazing sitter! She took care of our puppy Taco for three weeks while we were out of the country and it was such a relief knowing that Taco was in good hands. Kate was very attentive and caring, sent regular updates and photos, and took Taco on happy walks and adventures. Taco is beyond exuberant whenever they get to see Kate. Highly recommend!

Kate is absolutely wonderful. She watched after my dog, a little yorkie, for 3 weeks while I was on a trip. Recently she also watched my dog for a full day when I had an event to go to. When my dog saw Kate again they practically jumped into her arms and did the happiest doggy dance I've seen them do with another human! Kate is kind, caring, organized and very responsible. I will be using Rover to have Kate watch my dog many times in the future! Highly recommend.

If you're scrolling through Rover.com looking for someone who will love your pets like their own, stop at here! I've trusted Kate with my animal crew - a big-hearted big dog, a tiny tail-wagger, a chill turtle, and two cuddly guinea pigs. She's a pet whisperer, tailoring her approach to each of their unique quirks and cuddles. Her reliability is matched only by her boundless compassion for animals. Kate's not just a sitter, she's the friend your pets will look forward to seeing again. Moreover, her communication with pet owners is top-notch, ensuring peace of mind while you're away. Kate is not just a fantastic pet sitter; she's a wonderful person whose passion for animal welfare shines through in everything she does. Trust me, your pets will thank you!

Kate is amazing with my doggo. She is always excited to come and help out and my dog absolutely adores her. She's very active so you don't have to worry about your pup not getting enough exercise as she does an incredible job of walking them around the area and playing with them while you're out. My schedule is always incredibly busy and forever changing so it's always nice to know that Kate is available for my pup to be properly looked after and loved if I have a longer day!

Information Kate R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how friendly the dog is with other people, kids and dogs. If there are any triggers for them while on walks (ex. skittish by loud noises) and where their favourite place to be scratched is!

A typical day

Your loving pup will go on lots of walks and runs (if wanted). I live close to a nature park and lots of trails, where we can get some fresh air and enjoy nature. We will enjoy a morning coffee and breakfast together on the back porch with an option for fetch before we start the day!
