I go to NOVA Community College and am enrolled in their Vet Tech program, I also work part time at a vet clinic, this means that I have to cut down on how many clients I can take. Right now I am not taking any new clients, only past/current.

Safety, trust & environment

At our house we have a fenced in backyard that has a nice amount of running space. From our previous dogs we have many toys and a fun dog puzzle. Regardless of fences, I do not leave pets unsupervised when they are outside, I will always be out with them or at least right at the door.

Information Katelyn T. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know all about your pet! Including general information like age, daily routine, feeding schedule, and commands known. But also about their personality and preferences, and anything you may be working on with them. For dog boarding we prefer hypoallergenic breeds only (as family members have allergies), but for drop in visits any breed/species is welcome!

A typical day

I usually take dogs on their daily walks around your or my neighborhood, occasionally going farther or other places for fun. I will gladly snuggle and play with your pets as much as they want me to, but I make sure to respect their space and boundaries.

Pet care experience

For as long as I can remember, animals have been the focus of my life. I owned dogs for 13 years and have loved them for much longer. I have experience babysitting dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, temperaments, and abilities. I also have experience with bunnies, rodents, herptiles, other small animals, and am very open to other species as well. Over the years I have volunteered at several different animal organizations and shelters. My leisure time and academic studies are focused on animal medicine and behavior. I currently work at a veterinary clinic as a vet assistant. Our two dogs of 13 years passed away in 2017. I started Rover because I missed spending lots of time with my pups, and my family missed having dogs in the house to give attention to and spoil. Unfortunately, we can only take hypoallergenic dogs to board in the house. I will do my best to work with you for any accommodations and special requests, I want you and your pet to be as comfortable as possible. I don’t charge for meet and greets, or key exchanges, nor do I charge for mess/accident cleanup, medication administration, or other standard services. I look forward to meeting you and loving on your fur (feathery, or scaly) babies!

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.
