All you need under one woof!

Pet care experience

10+ Years Experienced Pet Sitter. I have always been an animal lover since I was a little kid. I grew up with 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 budgies, and 2 turtles (No joke)! I also took good care of our neighbors' and friends' dogs and cats multiple times while I was studying both in high school and college. As I turned 18, I have also started to volunteer at dog shelters (still do sometimes!). Besides working in Rover, I am also a foster mom for both dogs and cats. I foster for shelters and rescue groups (including Humane Society). I have more than 10 years of experience in both taking care of dogs and cats and I will take care of your babies as if they are mine. Animals mean the world to me and I will make sure to provide a safe, fun, and furry environment for them during their stay with me! I am an online college student and I don't have scheduled classes. I spend almost all of my days at home under my AC (thanks to Florida weather!) and sometimes go to the beach at the weekends. I can spend all of my time with your pets both during the day and night. I will not leave them alone at any time and give them all the attention they need. I will walk them every couple of hours, play with them and take them to the dog park if the owner requests. I am also very flexible with my schedule and will make sure to work with yours! I know leaving pets are already highly stressful so I will do everything to make you and your baby feel comfortable and stress-free. I live in a big 1 bedroom apartment (more than 1000 sqft) with a safe balcony. I have a soft and fluffy dog bed and lots of toys! Of course, your babies are welcomed to sleep anywhere they'd like (including my own bed or my couch). I am also aware that some pets can be highly energetic or can get bored staying home. So, I will make sure to walk them and take them to the dog park in our community where they can meet and play with other dogs (unless asked otherwise or scared/unfriendly with other pets). If they like walking, I would also be happy to walk with them as long as they'd like and discover new smells around our community. I would also like to apologize beforehand as I will be sending you tons of pictures during your pet's stay and drive your phone crazy! Try and stop me (Kidding!). Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions! I am here to provide you and your baby a safe, fun, and reliable experience.

Katherine took fantastic care of my Libby! She sent regular updates/photos the whole week and was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. My dog has been sleeping since I got her back which means I know she had a great time! I was worried about introducing her to a new place but Katherine did an amazing job of making her feel comfortable and cared for.

Katherine was an excellent sitter. Great communication and willingness to accommodate any special circumstances. She did a great job of keeping my pup safe and occupied while I was gone. I would highly recommend using her to sit your pet any time. She does a great job.

Katherine was AMAZING! She was able to accept our last minute booking request and was even flexible with the drop off time. She was trustworthy and treated our two dogs like her own- they loved her! She sent tons of pictures and updates throughout the weekend. Do not hesitate to book her!!!

I had a wonderful experience with Katherine. She was very eager to take care of my pup and was quite flexible with my schedule. She communicated throughout the process and was very reassuring. 10/10 would recommend.

Information Katherine G. would like to know about your pet

Please kindly let me know if your dog has any special needs. I would also like to know if there are some special ways to make your dog feel more comfortable.

A typical day

I am a serious early bird and I usually wake up around 6. I know that holding their bladder for extended periods of time such as nights can be challenging for some dogs. I will make sure to walk them as soon as I wake up and make sure to walk as long as they need. No rush! I LOVE walking. When we get back, I'll feed your babies unless they have special feeding schedules or anything else. I'll work with any schedule or special need/schedule so please don't hesitate to ask anything or inform me. After they are done with their breakfast, I'll make sure to rub their belly and get them ready for a fun and playful day! As I said, I have a lot of dog toys but you are welcomed to bring any favorite toys they have which might also make them more comfortable. As I have mentioned, I also live in a community full of dog lovers and owners. There is a pretty dog park in our community and I am happy to take your baby there for a play-date (It's a fenced and a very safe park). You are welcomed to check it out when you first come to drop them off if you have any concerns. If you feel your baby would be scared or not like other dogs or feel uncomfortable about it for any reason, I will not take them there. (No worries, I will always take your permission and confirm everything with you first). I can't wait to MEET YOUR BABIES and discover new smells around our community! EAT. PLAY. LOVE.
