Pet care experience
Patient, Loving Dog Sitter | 12+ Years Experience
Hi, I’m a 19-year-old dog lover and student offering reliable, calm, and caring pet care. I am new to Rover, but not new to caring for dogs — I have over 12 years of experience with my own Border Collie, as well as looking after friends’, family’s, and neighbours’ dogs. I adore all dogs, whatever their size, temperament, or breed, and I’m just as happy heading out on long walks as I am providing cuddles and company at home. I’ve had 12 years of hands-on experience with my own Border Collie, who I trained from puppyhood (despite her typical collie stubbornness and clever streak!). I’ve also looked after friends’ and neighbours’ dogs, so i have fair experience with many breeds. I grew up with two cats as well, so I’m comfortable caring for them too. I have had pets my whole life, caring for animals is second nature to me.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I have a secure, escape-proof private garden where your dog can play safely, enjoy some quiet time, or sunbathe on the deck if that’s their style. My home is pet-friendly, with animal-loving housemates, a comfy sofa for cuddles, a kitchen for mealtimes, and plenty of space for play. I also hold a full driving licence and have my own car, so—with your permission—I can take your dog on countryside walks outside the city. For high-energy dogs who need extra stimulation, I even have a bike and can take them along for runs to burn off that energy in a fun and safe way. For puppies or older dogs, I completely understand that accidents happen — whether it’s pee, poop, or even the occasional sick spell. I’m more than happy to clean up and make sure your dog feels cared for and comfortable afterwards. And of course, plenty of love, patience, and cuddles will always follow!
Ratings and reviews
Our German Shepherd, April, absolutely loves Kate. Kate is incredibly patient, sweet, and professional, and it’s obvious that April felt happy and comfortable with her. April had a fantastic time, and we wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend Kate.
Kate has been fantastic looking after our cheeky puppy so we could go to some important appointments. It was clear how much he had grown to love her whenever she arrived and she made us feel very relaxed. We knew he was in good hands 😊
Kate is nothing short of superb! She is a natural with dogs and we have one challenging dog. Kate was patient, kind, professional and won over our dog and his nervous ways within minutes. Our dogs love her. We think the world of her.
Kate was great with the dogs and took care of my house. Would recommend for sure!
Thanks Kate walking Freya in the pouring rain today! I continue to be impressed by her commitment and professionalism. Freya has clearly taken to her. I look forward to asking Kate to care for Freya again
Kate walked our German Shepherd Freya for the past three days. Her enthusiasm is infectious and Freya took to her immediately. She was concerned that her walk routes would meet Freya’s needs and took into account all the information we provided. I cannot recommend her highly enough Thanks Kate

Schedule
I am a full time Computer Science student at exeter university, however I do the majority of studying from home. This means my weekday schedule is very flexible, and I’m happy to fit around your dog’s routine. I do occasionally go home for holidays or some weekends, so I may not always be available during those times.
