Safety, trust & environment

I am not able to take care of pets in my own home since I live in an apartment that does not allow pets (otherwise I would have one of my own!) but can care for pets in their own residence, which I find provides them better care overall since they are in an environment they are familiar with.

I'm just a human golden retriever.

Pet care experience

I've been actively pet sitting for about 5 years now, mostly just for friends and family. I'm much more of a dog person but I have also taken care of cats while friends were away. Out of all of the dogs / cats I've met and cared for I haven't had many who didn't like me so overall I get along great with animals. People have told me that I have a special gift for befriending dogs! I grew up with dogs and a cat in my household so I am very aware that puppies and young dogs need consistency in their training, as well as for older dogs that they may have special diets / needs in order to provide the best care and would like the owner to inform me of anything important they would like me to pay attention to when walking / caring for their pets!

Katharine was excellent. My cats were in very capable hands, and quite happy upon my return. Thank you.

Kate’s fantastc! She handled our admittedly very stubborn and shy dog with ease and even got a few walks in while we were on a week’s vacation. She sent pictures and updates and was very communicative throughout the whole process. We’d 100% trust her care again.

Took great care of my blind senior cat with anxiety issues. She listened to instructions well and asked good clarifying questions. I would have no problem using her again.

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.
