Happy to do a meet & greet, and I’d love to learn about your dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can give them the best care possible!

A typical day includes walks, playtime, outdoor time, and plenty of relaxing. I adjust based on your dog’s energy level, whether they’re playful or more low-key. My partner also works fully remote so your dog won't be left alone.

Cozy WFH Dog Care in Venice 🐾

Pet care experience

I’m a dog lover based in Venice with a small fenced yard, and I work from home during the week - so your pup will get plenty of attention, care, and company throughout the day. I grew up with two Maltese and have been the go-to sitter for friends and coworkers for years. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for :)

Katharine took a last minute request to board my 13-year-old Pomeranian, Tilly, for a full week, and she was absolutely amazing! She kept me updated regularly, sent tons of photos (genuinely some of the best photos I’ve ever gotten from a sitter), and Tilly looked so happy and comfortable the entire time. I’m pretty sure Tilly didn’t even want to leave when it was time to go home. I’ve used a lot of sitters over the years, and this was easily one of the best experiences we’ve had. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to watch their dog.

is awesome with dogs and pets in general. Super reliable, easy to communicate with, and you can tell they genuinely care. They’re great at picking up on each pet’s personality and making sure they’re comfortable and happy. I always feel good knowing my pet’s in their hands.

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.
