Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving, Reliable Care for Your Pets
New to Rover but caring for pets and homes locally as if they were my own has been part of my life for years. I know how important it is to trust the person you’re leaving your pets with and I take that to heart. I’m patient, reliable, and pay close attention to the little things that keep pets happy and homes feeling cared for. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including playful puppies and gentle senior pets who may need extra time, medications, or a softer touch. I’m comfortable handling different routines, personalities, and special needs. Beyond pet care, I’m respectful of your home and keep everything tidy so you return to a space that feels just the way you left it—or a little better!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When I’m staying in a client’s home, I keep pets on their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. That means regular meals, walks, playtime, and as many snuggles as they can stand:)
Ratings and reviews
She was so kind and patient with my old girl. Definitely recommend!
Kate was amazing , she took great care of our 3 doggies, made sure they were fed and attended to while we were away, we’re surprised to find the house cleaner than when we left as well! Definitely going to rebook!
Absolutely outstanding experience! Kate cared for our dogs and cat and also watched our home, and she exceeded expectations in every way. Communication was excellent from start to finish, with thoughtful updates and daily photos that gave us total peace of mind. Our pets were clearly happy, relaxed, and well cared for. On top of that, she left our home spotless, which was such a great surprise to come back to. It genuinely felt like our home and pets were treated with the same care and attention she would give her own. If you are even considering hiring Kate, do it immediately! We will absolutely book Kate again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional sitter.
Kate has been an actual angel for us and our 4 fur babies. She has the most calming presence and they appreciate that approach so much. A couple of our dogs are jumpers and cannot contain their excitement when people arrive. With her, they always settle down quicker than with anyone else. One of our dogs has food/resource aggression and requires a specific feeding routine. Kate has always respected the process and followed through with any adjustments needed to keep everyone safe and happy. She’s honestly the only one we trust fully when caring for our babies!

Schedule
Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life because I work remotely from home. That means I’m around throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and plenty of companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, whether they need extra attention, medication, or just a reassuring presence. Having animals around just makes my days better, so it never feels like a job to me.
