Safety, trust & environment

I have a comfy home on a quiet cul de sac street with a fenced yard. My two small dogs are sweet and playful, preferring to nap or check for the Amazon truck most of the day. I work upstairs from my home office in a corporate product marketing job. We typically take a short walk on the street every day to get in some sniffs and stretch our legs. I try to make sure that visiting pups get cuddles and attentive care to have a fun mini vacation of their own!

Information Katherine D. would like to know about your pet

Any little creature quirks, how long they like to walk for, any aversions, food protocols, and what you think is critical to your pup having a nice stay.

A typical day

Keeping to routines keeps everyone on track, but I do love to mix in dog walks to new places! My pack is usually up by 8 for “work” (eating their breakfast, going outside, and sleeping in my office). We typically take a mid day short walk to get our mail and some sniffs, or we will opt for fetch and lounge time in the back yard. We sometimes take a post-work walk someplace nearby, and have dinner around 630. Couch and TV cuddles with the pack are great to relax, along with some witching hour playtime and fetch.

Pet care experience

I truly believe life is best lived with dogs! I’ve had one or two for most of my adult life and loved growing up with a family dog. My two small rescue dogs Dolly (8ish, shih tzu mix) and Scooter (6ish, terrier mix) are happy and excited to welcome friendly, calm small pup friends into our home for daycare and boarding! My flexible schedule, vast experience with dogs of all ages, and big heart have made me a frequent dog sitter over the years for my circle of friends.

Katherine is amazing! We use her boarding/ pet sitting services every year on a family vacation and she is always communicative, kind, and trustworthy! We don’t leave our dog with any other sitters and we can tell he loves being with her every time we pick him up <3

Katherine was amazing and I felt so relaxed knowing that Rusty was in such good hands while I was away. She is extremely thoughtful and responsible. She gave consistent updates each day. Rusty looked so happy and had so much fun becoming friends with her pups. I will absolutely be sending Rusty to her house again in the future.

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.
