Plays & walks well with others

I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10, starting with raising my own pup and later dog-sitting for friends. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I always prioritize their comfort and happiness. I have a background in positive reinforcement training, inspired by Cesar Millan and hands-on experience from taking my own dogs to training classes. I’m also an active person who loves spending time outdoors, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or just some quality companionship, I’ll do my best to make sure your dog feels happy and secure while you’re away. Your pup’s well-being is a top priority, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own - often sending you photos and updates.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and happiness mean everything to me, and I know how important it is to find someone you trust. Integrity and honesty are at the core of everything I do, and I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. That’s why I’m always happy to set up a meet-and-greet before our first booking—let’s chat, make sure it’s a great fit, and most importantly, let your pet give their approval (:

Kat did a wonderful job taking care of our two Frenchtons, Milo and Franklin while we were away on vacation. During our initial meet and greet, she asked thoughtful and thorough questions about their routines, personalities, and habits, which immediately made us feel comfortable entrusting our dogs to her care. While we were gone, Kat checked in twice a day and shared plenty of photos, giving us peace of mind and letting us know our boys were happy, comfortable, and in great hands. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly cared for them as if they were her own. She also left our home just as clean as we left it, which we greatly appreciated. We would absolutely book with Kat again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter! She is great.

Katherine was amazing! Great communication and attention to detail. My large breed puppies were very comfortable were her presence and bonded with her almost immediately. Feeding details and visit requirements followed precisely. I was extremely confident my pups were in good hands. I will definitely use Katherine again and would highly recommend her to any other dog owner!

Katherine was a great pet sitter! We were a little nervous leaving our 21 yr old cat home, but Katherine provided so much love and attention to Annie that I was instantly able to relax and not even have to worry about her. We received continuous updates on Annie’s care and I loved getting pictures and videos daily. I felt very comfortable having Katherine in my home and she left everything so clean and tidy. Katherine was a responsible, loving and trustworthy pet sitter and will be my first choice for pet sitting any of my pets next time!

Katherine did such a great job with our 3 dogs. She communicated so well and sent lots of pictures and videos! I am always a little anxious leaving them with someone new but she put my mind at ease!

Please let me know if your pet is prone to “excited” accidents, if they have dietary restrictions, or what words trigger strong reactions from your pet (I.e. treat, walk, outside)
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.
