Safety, trust & environment

I am diligent about taking all necessary safety precautions when taking care of your beloved pets. I ensure dogs are properly harnessed and leashed before every walk, always double check all exits are properly blocked, and am monitoring any potential choking/safety hazards.

Information Kate S. would like to know about your pet

A few things that I always want to know about pets ahead of time: - Who are their emergency contacts and their vet information? - Are they trained for off-leash adventures? - What are your house rules? (are shoes allowed in the house? are they allowed on furniture?) - What are their favorite toys? Do they have names? (very important) - How are they with cats, small/large dogs, children, strangers, mail carriers, etc? - What are their quirks? What are some things about them that make them unique?

A typical day

It's always so much fun to take pups to their go-to parks. I love getting to meet their other furry friends and getting the grand tour from their point of view. Their insatiable curiosity is so inspiring to me!

Top-Rated Care for Your Best Friend

Pet care experience

As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the deep bond we share with our furry companions and the care they deserve. With over two decades of experience working with cats, dogs (both large and small breeds), puppies, kittens, and even special needs pets, I treat every animal I care for as my own. I started pet sitting at just 7 years old, and since then, I've cared for countless pets with love, compassion, and attention to their individual needs. Why Choose Me? - Experienced and Trusted: Over 20 years of hands-on pet care experience. - Personalized Care: I’ll work with you to develop a care routine that suits your pet’s needs. - Flexible Schedule: I prioritize your pet’s well-being and accommodate your schedule. - Comfort & Peace of Mind: I focus on keeping your pet’s routine intact to reduce separation anxiety and stress. Whether you need help for a few hours or extended care, I’m here to give your pet the attention, comfort, and love they deserve while you're away. Feel free to reach out to discuss your pet care needs today! NOTE: For housesitting clients, animals are required to undergo flea treatment within one week of our scheduled booking. Clients will incur an additional fee for any fleas found during booking, starting at $500.

Appreciate Kate watching my cats for a long weekend! Was gone for 4 days and she did a great job coming by to check on my cats, make sure they were fed, and their litter boxes were cleaned. Was very communicative on timing and questions,and quick to respond! Will be rebooking in the future!

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.
