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.

This was our first time using Rover, and we will definitely be booking Katharine again for our energetic dog. She was knowledgeable and calm- we felt completely comfortable leaving Pancho in her care! :)

Katharine was extremely accomodating, punctual warm and friendly from the first contact with her! I only needed her for one day while I was away for my daughters wedding but she took care of my Shadow exactly how I asked. I will absolutely be contacting Katherine again when I will need hero with Shadow! Highly recommend!!

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.
