Paws-itively reliable rover sitter!
Pet care experience
🐾 Your Fur Baby's Best Buddy! 🐾 Hey there! As a passionate dog owner myself for the past 3 years, I truly understand the love and care our furry family members deserve. Having experienced using Rover for my own pup, I know exactly what you, as a dog owner, are looking for in a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter. My top priority is to provide your furry friend with all the kindness, care, and attention they need, just like they were my very own!
Reviews
Kate was exceptional! I was nervous having never used a boarding service before - I was immediately impressed by her ability to ease my concerns, how well she listened to my dog’s specific needs, and her authentic compassion for animals. Throughout my trip I received regular updates and photos. I knew I picked the right boarding service after the first set of photos were sent before I boarded my plane. I was able to enjoy my trip with very little concern about my pup and her safety. It was very easy to communicate with Kate and she was responsive to texts, coordinating drop off and pick up was easy! She had everything ready and packed before I arrived to pick up - particularly impressive as I requested pick up early in the morning. I am sincerely grateful for having met such an enthusiastic and compassionate person - Kate truly went above and beyond when caring for my best friend. I would definitely recommend her, and should I need a boarding service in the future - she will be the first person I will call. Thank you again Kate!
Max had another perfect stay with Kate. Thank you!
Kate is the best! Our little guy - Fergus- was going to stay with a close friend while we went on a week long trip. We just moved to the area the week before so we were worried about leaving Fergus so soon. Our friend had an emergency the day before our trip and could no longer watch him. I was in a panic about leaving him with a stranger. I reached out to Kate and she was responsive, welcoming, and caring. I knew Fergus was in good hands and I didn’t worry at all. Fergus had a great time with her. She sent photos and videos each day and when I picked him up he was happy and relaxed. We will definitely book with her again! Thank you, Kate!
Kate is absolutely the best! We felt instantly comfortable with her caring for our fur babies. She went out of her way to accommodate us and has been such a wonderful home away from him for our pups. The consistent photo updates are perfectly timed. It’s clear she really cares because they are so relaxed when we return. We sad to leave the area but will happily drive an hour to have our pups stay with Kate anytime we have to travel.

One of my favorite things to do is to go on refreshing walks and spend quality time at the park with my dog Jinx, and I'm sure your pup loves that too! If they are on the more relaxed side, I'm happy to spend indoors play time and/or simply cuddle. I have a 7 year old pup named Jinx who is friendly and loves a walk but if we go to the dog park he ideally loves just doing his own thing, he's more of an introvert 😂 Rest assured, your dog's safety is paramount to me. I have a spacious yard, which provides the perfect play area, it is not fenced so I use a secure 30ft leash when any dogs play outside, so your pup can enjoy freedom while being safely supervised. I also have a partner who lives with me and he has a heart that melts for dogs, so your fur baby is in safe hands. So, if you need a responsible and loving dog sitter, I'm here for you! Let's make sure your beloved companion has a fantastic time while you're away or at work, and they get the love and care they deserve with a sitter... plus I'll send lots of photos! 🐕 Looking forward to meeting you and your doggo soon! 🐶 Kindly, Katee 🐶

Information Kate S. would like to know about your pet
1. Are there any specific concerns or health conditions that I should be mindful of during our time together? 2. Each pup has their unique personality, how would you describe their temperament? Are they outgoing and sociable or prefer a quieter environment? 3. I'd like to know your dog's regular feeding schedule and any favorite treats they enjoy. And of course, I'm more than happy to cater to any dietary restrictions they may have. 4. What are your pup's favorite activities and/or games? 5. Do they have any specific commands they respond to? Let me know how you handle any behavioral situations, so I can keep the same approach and communicate properly with your pup! 6. Are there any triggers that cause anxiety or fears? I'd love to learn how to provide extra comfort during these moments. 7. How does your pup usually let you know when they need to go outside? I'll be sure to watch for their cues attentively. 8. Does your dog have a favorite or comforting toy I should be aware of? 9. Your dog is unique and deserves the utmost care. If there are any special needs, whether it's related to mobility or other concerns, please share so I can tailor my approach to best accommodate them.
A typical day
Typical day starts with a morning walk & breakfast. During the day I usual let the dogs hang outside if the seem interested, I'll do some work on my porch and watch them if they do like it outside. Towards the afternoon we like to go for a longer walk or a trip to the park for playtime and/or social time. On weekends we love a good long hike or playtime at the park! Then dinner, belly rubs, and cuddles :)

I work part time as a personal trainer in the day and dance teacher at night so I create my own schedule! I always keep my mornings free for walks, playtime, and any special needs for the dogs! Afternoon walks are also something I prioritize, it’s not only important for your pup to get that exercise but I like to decompress and enjoy nature as much as I can during the day.
