Highlights
Pet care experience
Big heart, safe hands, happy tails!
I’m the sitter who shows up with steady energy, a kind heart, and a routine-friendly approach. As a former Kindergarten teacher, I’m patient and consistent—great for pets who like predictability (and for humans who like clear updates!). I used Rover for years for my own tiny dog, so I take trust seriously and aim to be the sitter I would have wanted. - Happy to follow feeding schedules and house rules closely - Great with shy/timid pets—I let them warm up at their pace - Always willing to send photo updates so you can feel connected while you’re away - Good with administering basic medications and following detailed care instructions - Comfortable with senior pets, slower-paced walks and extra potty breaks - Meet-and-greets welcome, so everyone feels comfortable before a stay

Ratings and reviews
Katherine was so responsive and did an amazing job taking care of our miniature schnauzer! She came back well rested and happy.
Katie was amazing to work with. She gave updates and sent pics which comforts me when I'm away from my baby. Thanks Katie. We'll definitely book again. Her home is inviting and Dash seemed calm upon entering. Great experience... 🩵🩵
We had a great experience with Katie! She took such good care of our fur babies while we were away and made the whole process super easy. We really appreciated the updates and photos, it was so nice seeing the pups happy and having fun. When we got home, the dogs were relaxed and clearly well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We’d definitely book with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. Thanks again for everything, Katie! 🐶

Schedule
I work from home and have for the past 10+ years, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I have a flexible schedule for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention, and I’m able to adjust around your pet’s routine.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home (boarding & doggy day care): - I only host one client’s dog at a time, so your pup gets a quiet, low-stress environment and my full focus - Dogs are welcome on the furniture and beds (unless you’d prefer otherwise) - While I don’t have a yard, I live in a very quiet townhome community with plenty of safe walking space, and I’m close to Lake Lynn for longer outings if you’d like - I stick closely to your routine for walks, meals, and downtime, and I’m careful with doors/leashes to keep everything safe In your home (drop-ins & walks): - I follow your instructions closely and keep things consistent with your pet’s routine - I’m respectful of your space, double-check locks, and leave everything as I found it - For walks, I prioritize safe routes and a pace that fits your dog - Always happy to send photo updates plus a quick recap each visit if desired
