Pet care experience

Dog lover in Howard County!

Hi! My name is Katie and I am a dog lover living in Elkridge, MD, looking to spend my spare time helping take care of your pets. I have always lived in a household where we care for our four-legged friends as family members. They provide us with so much unconditional love, they deserve everything and more in return! I have spent majority of my life caring for my own dogs and cats, as well as pet sitting for other friends and family members. I have also volunteered with local shelters and animal rescue groups in the past, where I have fostered animals and helped with adoption events.

This was our first experience with Rover and we couldn’t be happier! Katherine did an amazing job and our pups really seemed to like her. Thank you for an amazing job!

Katie was great with my Lincoln! He was so relaxed and happy when I picked him up from an overnight. Loved that she sent a photo of him too!

Katie and her boyfriend were great! Nala made herself right at home while staying with them. I checked in a few times to make sure Nala was behaving herself, Katie was quick to respond and with pictures. When I brought Nala home she went straight back to the bedroom and made herself comfy in bed. She must have had a great time cause she was completely exhausted(which is great when I’m just as tired!)

She has watched my dog numerous times. A punctual and responsible worker, who is very friendly and always energetic. A great spirit to be around. Always my first choice to request back
