Pet care experience

I give my "paws" to serve!

Hello! 🙂 Welcome to Rover! New clients are eligible for $20 off their first booking when they book with me! 🩷 As an experienced dog, rabbit, cat, and hermit crab owner, you can rest assured that I will provide the best care for your furry (or not so furry) friend! It is a great joy of mine to take care of animals and spend time with them. Let's book a meet and greet! 📍 Serving Springfield, MO and surrounding areas! 📝 NOTES: - I MUST do a meet and greet before every new client! - Your pet must be updated on vaccines! - I am not accepting any new clients for boarding or house sitting at this time. - I can travel farther than 30 miles, but there will be an upcharge for mileage.

Katelyn was wonderful! Our dog has kind of a high maintenance feeding schedule due to some health changes as she has aged and Katelyn was fantastic to make sure she was fed on schedule and provided excellent care overall. She can also be slow to warm up to new people but she liked Katelyn during the meet-n-greet and I can tell she was comfortable with Katelyn from the update pictures during the booking. I look forward to being able to book Katelyn again!

Katelyn can host up to 10 drop-ins per day
When first meeting a pet, I like to know what their personality is like. I want to know how I can make them feel as safe and comfortable as possible. I also want to know what sort of things they like to do for fun! I also need to know what kind of medical background they have, and what medications they take. The more information about a pet I can gather, the more I am able to make sure that everything goes great!
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.
