Safety, trust & environment

I am comfortable with letting your pets out, walking them, or crating them to best fit their needs and your schedule. I like to take the time to do a walk through of their day to day routine so that we don’t stray too far from it.

Information Katherine C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavioral issues that I should account for. Does your dog get anxiety? Do they have a tendency to get spooked by something? What helps calm them down? Are they food motivated? I’d like to know it all!

A typical day

When I care for your dogs, I would love to hear your recommendations on where to walk them locally (if walks are needed). I also love to chase pups around in the backyard and throw the ball for them to get their energy out!

Pet care experience

NEW CLIENTS: I am available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting requests. For the house sitting requests, one caveat is that my living situation has changed and I would be inclined to bring my dog, Snickerz. She is great with other dogs and cats and minds her own business. If you are still interested in house sitting requests, I’d love to do a meet and greet with our pups. PREVIOUS CLIENTS: If you are a previous client and see that my calendar is blocked off, feel free to message me and still ask for availability! ____________________________________________ As you can see, I have many pictures of dogs, cats, and the occasional goat. If I were to care for your pets, I would send multiple pictures and updates so that you know they’re well cared for! A little bit about me: I have had the pleasure of taking care of my best friend and pup Snickerz for 15+ years. I’ve had her since she was 10 weeks old. As a senior dog, she takes medication and has special dietary needs for her urinary incontinence. In the past, I adopted a family member’s dog, Han Solo, a border collie mix. At one point, I adopted my neighborhood stray cat and unfortunately lost him a few years ago but tried my absolute best to give him the best two years of his life. I have such a special place in my heart for stray cats and animals of all kind and I am happy to tell you more about it! Throughout the years, I have also cared for my family and friend’s dogs, cats, and even ferret.

This is the second time Kat has looked after our kitties while on vacation and I cannot begin to describe how amazing she is. She has such a way with animals that our cats took to her instantly and they were so well cared for while we were gone (which eased so much of our anxiety!). She sent honest, thorough, and meaningful updates and really gave such diligent care to our kiddos. She’s the best!

She was great with my dog. I’d definitely hire her again.

Kat does an amazing job and we’ll be using her regularly to care for Mason while we’re away.

Katherine did an amazing job with my pup Blue. She was very prompt and incredibly responsive sending updates all throughout the stay. She also went above and beyond by coming back to check in on her when we ran into some unexpected travel delays. Will use again and 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.
