Pet care experience

We Love Dogs (and now also cats)!

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.

Katie and Stephen were lovely! We had a sitter fall through at the last minute before our trip. Katie and Stephen were responsive and flexible so we were able to schedule a meet and greet the day before leaving which put my mind at ease in terms of making sure Ollie was well taken care of. We got photos and updates throughout the trip. He came home so happy and tired from lots of play with their pup Lulu. Will definitely consider them again for future trips!

Schedule

I work part-time and am home often - so is Stephen! We care for our own cat and toddler son, but have plenty of time for walks during the day.

Katharine can host up to 1 walk per day
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!).
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.
