Pet care experience

To err is human-to forgive, canine

Hi! My name is Katie! I am a student at Penn State and a lover of all creatures, large and small! I have had family dogs throughout my childhood. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, breeds with longer coats, and both large and small breeds. I also have experience with handling rescues of various sizes with different triggers. I also have grown up with cats and have experience with all ages and sizes too! Additionally, I have experience with caring for pet rabbits. I have had several over the years. **I do not have experience with disabled or dogs with special needs, however I am willing to learn and accommodate whenever necessary!

Katie was amazing! We have 2 large dogs, and she was willing to work with our recently adopted mastiff who is sweet but still struggling with some anxiety. Both dogs immediately loved her, and they had a great time while we were away. It wasn’t easy for sure, but she was patient and kind and kept in constant communication-adjusting to support Odin as needed! We are so lucky to have found her!

First time using this using this app. I had some last minute things come up on a holiday weekend and was very fortunate to come across Katherine. She is so responsive and flexible, she come over to get squinted with my animal the same night I placed my request and checkin during her visits and outside of here visit to make sure my animal we safe and cared for in case of any emergency. It really show how much delight she get out of this type of work and I trust her in my home and with my animals. I was very hesitant to use this type of service with someone I didn’t know and was in a dire position with no available friend to ask. Now this app/Katherine may just might be my go to for any (ideally planned in advanced 😅) time I’ll be out of town. And become of Katherine I was able be relaxed an ld worry free about my four-legged loved one at home and show up to support the people I love in a very pivotal and spiritual moment in their life and gain an experience and memories I will never forget.

Katherine was absolutely amazing! She played with our dogs all day long, left the house spotless, and was very kind and easy to communicate with! Thank you, Katherine!

Katie took amazing care of our cat while we were away on a business trip. She was extremely professional, reliable, and attentive throughout the entire time. She made sure he was fed on schedule, spent quality time playing with him, and gave him the care and attention he needed while we were gone.

I will ask that you leave a list of instructions pertaining to your pet for my stay with them, and I will document any necessary health and behavioral information to keep your pet safe. Let me know if there is anything I need to be aware of when caring for your pet. This includes instructions of care and also things to avoid.
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.
