Pet care experience

Often likes pets better than people

I’ve been around animals all my life. When I was a kid, my family regularly fostered both dogs and cats for the humane society and I loved it. I’ve had experience with everything from bottle feeding puppies and kittens only a few weeks old to helping senior pets put on diapers.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Each pet has their own personality and quirks. Some will have different needs than others, and I’m more than willing to listen to a pet parent’s preferences and requirements. If an animal needs some extra cuddles or help, I’m happy to provide, but I always respect if they need a little more distance and independence too.

Our St. Bernard had a fantastic stay with Katharyn over the weekend! She sent daily photo updates, fed our girl twice a day and we came home to a happy girl. Thank you for the care.

Please let me know about any special needs, quirks to keep an eye on (regularly slipping out of their collars on walks, escaping the fence if not watched, aggression towards other animals, etc.), or preferences for their care ahead of time so that I can better meet your pet’s needs.
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.
