Availability
I am currently a full time masters student, and so I will do my best to work with you around my class schedule. I am unlikely to take on weekly visits because of the unpredictability of being a student, but feel free to send me a message with your expectations and we can find something that works for us both. And of course, thank you for supporting me as I put myself through school. Currently, everything I make from Rover goes towards paying for my rent throughout the semester. I appreciate your trust!

About Katelyn W.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am renting a home with other housemates, and so I am currently not able to house pets at my home. I would be happy to stop in to feed, play with, and exercise your pets periodically throughout the day. I am also perfectly content to read a book for a few hours, if house sitting is on your priority list.
Information Katelyn W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there are any behaviors that I should know about for your pets. It’s easy to get used to them as an owner and forget that all pets are different!
A typical day
I used to play softball, so if you have a backyard to toss a tennis ball around in, I will be having just as much fun as your dog! If you leave any cat toys around, I will happily play with your cat for indefinite periods of time.

Pet care experience
*Schedule for summer 2026* Hi all! I’m so grateful for all the booking requests I’ve received. I am working M-F 8:30am-5:00pm, but can take care of your pets any time outside of that window. It would be perfect for if you decided to go on a weekend trip, spontaneous one-day adventure, or if you have an automatic feeder and a pet that needs some attention. Thank you for reading!🫶🏻 ~the rest of my profile~ In my home, we always had a pet. I grew up caring diligently for my 10 cent goldfish, for hamsters, guinea pigs, dogs, and a leopard gecko (as well as his army of live crickets). My neighbors and I would spend our middle school summers researching the best ways to take care of our pets, the healthiest snacks to make them with our budget of approximately $4, and how to build guinea pig-safe mazes with the cardboard in the recycling bin. Although my guinea pig Instagram is long retired, I love animals just as much as I did as a child. For the past decade, I have been pet-sitting for bunnies, chickens, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and fish. I am not squeamish about reptiles, rodents, or arachnids, so if you leave me a list of things to do, I will do them!
Reviews
My bunny and cat were well taken care of while we were away for a long weekend. Thank you 😊
Kate is always friendly and responsible. She also makes me laugh with the notes she leaves me about her visits with my pup. Thanks for taking care of Delta (even when she leaves a triple poo in one visit) 😂😂
Always love having Kate come by - Delta (my dog) appreciates how much play time she gives her, and all of the post-play pets!! Thanks Kate!!
Delta and I are very grateful when Kate is available to come by! I work long days and my blue heeler, Delta, is always happy and well taken care of when I arrive back home. Kate is very kind, responsive, and makes sure Delta gets an adequate midday break to play and do her business. She’s always respectful and has been flexible for my last minute plan changes or requests. Thank you, Kate!
