I am lucky enough to work full time from home which leaves me with plenty of extra time to take care of your four legged baby. Walks, park play time, and even light training would be part of the normal routine when they stay will me!

Information Katherine G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or signals to watch out for when you request a booking that way I make sure I am able to give them the best care possible!

A typical day

I love to take them on walks around campus or local walking trails as well as playing with toys or working on a few simple (beginner) commands like sit, stay, shake, or lay down. I think all of these activities are good for all types of animals to help physically and mentally stimulate them.

Pet care experience

I’ve always taken care of animals, growing up with cats and dogs in our house was such a blessing and now I want to share my love for all pets with others!

Katherine was amazing as always! We like to say that our puppies are probably better taken care of when we’re gone and she’s watching them! Don’t know when, but we’ll definitely be booking her again!

Katherine was amazing as usual! She gave us the perfect amount of updates to keep us informed but didn’t message us too often and allowed us to enjoy our honeymoon! Will absolutely book her again!

Loved having her watch our pups again. She’s super accommodating, understanding, and flexible. Already planning on having her watch our boys a year from now when we go on our honeymoon since we know we won’t have to worry about the puppies at all!

We loved Katherine! She was excellent and thorough with taking care of our babies! She sent lots of pictures and wasn’t afraid to call us with concerns about our pups. 100% will book her again !

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.
