Safety, trust & environment

We cannot currently host animals in our home, but love animals and would be thrilled to treat your pets with love and care and lots of pets or long walks.

Information Katharine D. would like to know about your pet

Knowing your pets energy levels and tolerance of other animals/ what might make them skittish would be the most helpful (ie. Please don't let my dog get too close to other dogs on our walks! Absolutely loathes skateboards and scooters!).

A typical day

Whatever your pet needs! Are they a couch potato that just needs some snuggles? Do they need to throw a ball in the backyard for an hour? Go for a jog? Happy to accommodate to your pets needs and energy levels.

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Katie. My husband, Stephen, and I used to be Rover hosts for years, but after having a baby and adopting a cat - we've had to switch gears. We would love love love to walk your dog or come to your home to check on your pets. We are both very active people, who are experienced in high energy and strong willed dogs. Our sweet old hound, Lulu, passed last year, and we have been craving some dog energy in our lives. Let's go for a walk!

Katie and Stephen went above and beyond when my dog got really sick while I was out of town. They did everything I would have done myself, and kept me updated on everything that was happening. Highly recommended.
