Safety, trust & environment

I love to care for your pet in their own environment. For overnight stays, I'll conform to their habits and needs, including playtime and snuggling. Playing with toys; playing hide and seek games with a blanket; or other games your pet loves. If they enjoy lounging around, being petted, or just hanging out in the same room without touch, that's okay, too.

Information Kate W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has special needs, favorite toys and things to do, favorite treats or anything you wish me to know or do. I enjoy using their personal commands, too!

A typical day

I love to take care of your feeding needs and I enjoy staying for the 60 minute visits, but I’m available to stay as long as you want, for company as well to play with your cat/s, when that fits your need. I take photos and video clips to show how well your pet is doing for your own peace of mind.

Pet Lover With Excellent Care

Pet care experience

Your pet is treated with special care, lots of love and attention! I follow your instructions for care, keep your home clean, and make sure your pets are happy. I’m not a kid doing this for college; I’m a semi retired, very youthful adult who loves animals. I take the responsibility seriously to care for your beloved pet. You will experience true Peace of Mind when your pet is in my care. I make sure you know what’s going on with frequent updates, Photos and videos. You can text or call me anytime while you’re away. I’m here to serve you. I am active and enjoy playing with all animals, walking and even running with them (in sprints)!!! I've had special bonds with animals all my life. Cats, Dogs, Birds, Wildlife, Guinea Pigs, pocket pets and more--each animal is an individual with his or her own personality and behavior. I understand animals. Rescuing birds has taught me how to allow an animal to come to you at their own pace. When a dog, cat or bird trusts you, it's a big thing in their life. Animals trust me. I have vast experience in caring for pets long before coming to Rover. I am in-tune to animals and treat each one as an individual and with love. Most of all, I treat all animals with respect, love and attention they need and it feeds my soul. I will do the same for your beautiful pet. If you hire me, I’ll make sure your pet is safe and well cared for. I look forward to working for you!!!

Kate is fabulous…..she quickly felt like family and was easy with our Puli boys. While they were not on their best behavior while we were gone for a week she was a star in their care. Also ….. our home had careful care…plants were watered, mail was picked up and all was in order when we returned. We highly recommend Kate without hesitation!

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.
