Safety, trust & environment

As the owner of pets who have trouble being removed from their “safe space,” you can rest easy knowing that your pets will receive plenty of love and care in the place they feel the most comfortable. During a meet and greet, I come prepared with an information sheet to fill out so that I can make sure I cater to each pets specific needs. Everything from feeding times, food sensitivities, and jotting down your pets favorite toys and activities!

Information Katelyn S. would like to know about your pet

Anything you’d like me to know! What are your pets likes and dislikes? Are they on any medications? Are they reactive to other dogs or other animals?

A typical day

We can snuggle, play, enjoy walks around the neighborhood, whatever you and your pet are down for. I’m a sucker for a doggie field trip too, as long as mom and dad say it’s okay!

Veterinary Assistant who LOVES pets

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Katy! I am a veterinary assistant working at McClelland Small Animal Hospital, and I’m pet sitting not only due to my love of animals, but to use the extra funds to help pay for my dream wedding! I’ve had pets my entire life, and I’m so fortunate to be able to help care for others' pets every day. I will love and treat your critters like they are my own, as taking care of animals is truly my passion. I currently work full time at an animal hospital and own 3 dogs, 2 cats, a crab, and even a jumping spider, so pet care is truly second nature to me. When I’m entrusted in caring for your pet and your home, I will be there all night and in the morning before I head into work. I will check on them during my lunch hour so they can have a potty break, lunch (if needed), play time, cuddles, and plenty of attention, before I'm back with them right after my work day. I'm always incredibly respectful of my clients homes, ensuring things are just as neat and tidy (if not more so) than they were when I arrived. Mail will be brought in, trash taken out, and bed linens cleaned. You're on a vacation, why worry about cleaning up when you get home?!

Katy was so amazing with Louie! It was so comforting to know she has a bernedoodle of her own and we knew he would be in great hands while we were gone. I know Louie will be so excited to see her next time we need a sitter!

Katyln is one of the best, and I highly recommend. Lucy, Polly, and I had a great meet-and-greet before the stay, and the dogs instantly fell in love and were very comfortable. Katelyn is very buttoned up and has her clients fill out a Google Doc that covers everything about the dogs and the house. She is extremely thoughtful in her care, communication, and photo-sending. From Lucy, Polly, and my perspective, this was an A+++ experience.

Katy did an excellent job taking care of Comet. This was our first time using a dog sitter but she was a great communicator and made us feel very comfortable. We were happy to get frequent updates. She also took great care of our home and overall exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend her and would confidently have her care for Comet again 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.
