I'm a senior studying the life sciences at the University of Connecticut. As a full time student (with extracurriculars), I certainly have a busy schedule, however; that helps motivate me to manage my time and set aside certain days and nights for work! Also, I don't have any class on Fridays or Saturdays, which is perfect for weekend pet sitting needs! I can also overnight pet sit on most nights.

Safety, trust & environment

Most of my pet sitting work will revolve around ensuring your pet is taken outside (or for a walk) when needed, fed on time (this includes ensuring fresh water is always accessible 24/7!), and given time for playtime (or even time for calm activities, especially if the pet is anxious). This is a fairly standard list of care—so if your pet has needs that differ, please let me know!

Information Katherine H. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any needs or wants that I should know, please reach out! I am happy to adjust my services as needed/within reason! Just FYI, I do require proof (a scan/photo is fine) of rabies vaccination within the last three years.

A typical day

All of this depends on the pet, but pet sitting would usually include at least one walk (per night), playtime (if desired), meals (if needed), and any other basic care! As for playtime and getting outside, this is all pet dependent, so let me know what works for you! Please note that I usually don't supply leashes/toys except in extenuating circumstances.

Pet care experience

Hi! I've helped taken care of my family's dog since I was 12, and since then, I've gained experience in caring for multiple dogs and cats. I'm thrilled to help serve my local community. In addition, I've taken multiple animal science courses in my studies at UConn, and have a working knowledge of animal care.

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.
