Safety, trust & environment

I am a very kind and patient person. Your fur baby will get the very best care from me. I respect my client’s home and their pets. If your fur baby needs a walk, I’ll make sure to take safety precautions when walking them outside.🐾

Information Katharine J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what you would like me to do for your pet and give me details about their schedule and habits. It would be nice to know if your pet has any quirks. :)

A typical day

When I walk dogs, I like to give time for them to smell their surroundings and enjoy their walk. When I stop by to check on your cat or dog, I make sure to give them the love and attention they deserve.

Pet care experience

I have been doing Rover for almost 3 years now and have been taking care of animals since I was a child. It is my passion and brings me such joy. I have experience with small to big dogs from puppies to seniors. I also have experience with cats, guinea pigs, and rats. I take pride in giving the best care to your fur baby like I do to my own. I currently have a senior pug, 2 chihuahuas, and an orange tabby cat. Update: I now also have a hairless Chihuahua puppy.

I can highly recommend her to anyone that wants their pet feel safe and well taken care of. Katherine kept sending updates and pictures. Super friendly and my little guy seemed to have an amazing time with her

Katherine was great! I felt very at ease leaving her with my little Jack Russell. She got her to eat her food which she won’t usually do while I’m away and took her out for her favorite game of catch. I would highly recommend her!

We are so happy we found Kathryn! From the very first time she met our dogs, they immediately took to her, which made us feel completely at ease. She was reliable, caring, and attentive, and the pictures and updates she sent during her visits gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Kathryn has a natural way with animals. She is officially our new go-to whenever we need someone to stop by, feed the dogs, and let them out. We would highly recommend her!

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.
