For now, I would come to your home to care for your pet. I would meet with you to understand the needs of you and your pets.

Information Katherine C. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog like special treats after their walk? Does your dog walk well on a leash? Are there certain people or animals that cause your dog stress?

A typical day

I enjoy getting to know your dog or cat’s personality. Taking your dog for a walk, petting or brushing your cat, sometimes the simple things are what pets enjoy the most. Helping to reduce any stress is important to me.

Looking to love & care for your pet

Pet care experience

I have had pets growing up, had cats in college, and currently live on a farm where we have had adult labs as well as litters of pups. We currently have farm kitties outside and a very spoiled inside cat. I am looking to love your pets and spend time getting to know them when you need an extra hand.

I’ve never felt more at ease leaving our pup at home while we’re away. Our dog absolutely adores Ms. Kathy. Probably because she radiates nothing but warmth, kindness, and love. There are few people who have managed to win over our stubborn, independent pup but she has somehow broken the barrier and has become a best friend. The care our dog receives is unmatched to any other alternative, but I also appreciate the dedication and time she spends sending updates and letting us know how it’s going. The pictures and messages truly make our day. Anyone considering booking shouldn’t second guess it. You and your furry companion would be so lucky to have her. You’ll be wondering what you did before.

There’s no competition, Katherine is easily our pup’s best friend! He enjoys his staycations with Katherine far better than traveling along with us. He’s always tuckered out and ready for rest/snuggles when we return. I’m half tempted to take more vacations just so they can spend more time together.

I honestly don’t think it gets any better than Kathy! She routinely goes far above and beyond what she needs to and the love she shows to our pup is heartwarmingly noticeable. We debated traveling without our dog this last trip but we could tell just from our first update from Kathy that we made the right choice. She truly put us at ease and we are so incredibly grateful for 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.
