Pet care experience

Teacher with a summer (mostly) free

Hello! I’m Katey; I’m a 39 year old special education teacher with two cats and two dogs. I grew up with dogs my entire life and have been dog/cat sitting since I was in middle school. I love my animals more than words and understand the level of care pet owners expect. I use Rover for my dog aggressive pup so I know how valuable the service is for finding the right fit! I’m also a runner, so walking dogs can be very ideal for keeping in shape. So whether you need someone to come check in on your babies or someone to run until your pup is ready to nap, I’m here! Oliver, Sushi, and Moxy seem to love me being their mama and I hope to provide love to your fur babies as well. I took in a 12 year old dog after her owner was unable to come home and giving her senior dog care has been so eye opening! Oliver recently had a huge medical scare and I'm trying to get his vet bills paid. Any opportunities to help out with your pups would be appreciated!

Safety, trust & environment

I’ve got quite a bit of experience with difficult pups! My dog is dog aggressive and not so great with grooming so I’ve even been the additional groomer on many occasions. I was always in charge of training my parents’ dogs for walking, so I’m really conscious about what side of me my dog walks on and little things like that.

As always Katey goes above and beyond to make sure the time she spends with my Oakley wears her out! I love that she takes so many pictures and sneaks in extra cuddle time 🥰

Katey is the sweetest human & I am so thankful for Katey’s heart. Willow is so spoiled each time Katey arrives and Willow is sleepy after every visit! I’ve been using this service for about a month and Katey is reliable and treats my dog with tons of love.

Katey is amazing with my Oakley girl! She sends plenty of pictures and a very detailed paragraph on how the visit went!

Katey was amazing! They took incredible care of our dog and cats while we were away for the weekend. We had great communication, lots of photos, and they took care of our pets like they were their own. Can’t recommend them enough!!

Katey is AMAZING with dogs, cats, any animals in general really! They're an extremely sociable person who lights up any room they step into, and I swear I've never seen a single animal who didn't immediately love them

There’s a few simple things. If your dog has any aggression issues with other dogs, I’ll need to know so I can be mindful when walking. If they are particular about where they’re touched or things like tone/volume of voice, that’s super handy to know. Commands they respond to are also good to know. Personally, I overshare about Moxy and I invite you to overshare with me!
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.
