Safety, trust & environment

I am certified in pet CPR and First Aid! I care for pets with love and respect. When meeting a new pet, I never overstep their boundaries by picking them up, forcing them to be pet, or putting my face close to theirs. I go at their pace and let them get comfortable with me, even if it takes a few visits!

Information Kate W. would like to know about your pet

I want to ensure that your pet receives the love and care they need so I ask that you inform me of any special needs/requests or behaviors ahead of time!

A typical day

Whether it be fetch, tug of war, or just running around outside, I love playing with pets! We’ll go on walks, play with their favorite toys, and even just chill out for a bit if that's what they need that day!

Pet care experience

Hey there! My name is Kate and I am so excited to get to know you and your pet! I am originally from Christiansburg, VA and attend NRCC. I have been taking care of my neighbor's pets since I was 9 years old and have been on Rover for about 2 years now! I have taken care of animals of all sizes and genuinely enjoy giving pet parents peace of mind while they are away, and giving their animals all the love they deserve! I volunteered at Montgomery County Animal Shelter as well!

Kate was wonderful and was able to walk my dog last minute. She was dependable, did a great job playing with him, and I appreciate her care

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.
