Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable Midweek & Evening Sitter
Growing up in a multi-dog household, dogs weren’t just pets to me, but they’re my best friends. I am deeply familiar with the day-to-day realities of dog care and naturally understand canine behavior and routines. For puppies, I seamlessly reinforce house-training, crate routines, and basic manners. For older dogs, I bring the patience needed for senior care, including managing slow mobility and following strict medication schedules. Living with multiple dogs has taught me to read subtle body language, so I know exactly when a dog is anxious, over-stimulated or just needs quiet space.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I take pride in learning and replicating your exact house rules, feeding schedules, and favorite walking loops. I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and secure while you are away. I am able to offer your dog true, focused companionship during the daytime hours when they miss you the most.
Ratings and reviews
Katherine is an incredibly responsible, caring, and loving pet caregiver. She has taken such great care of Milo and Ziggy, and I always feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in her hands. Milo is a black lab and Ziggy is a shelter mix and Katherine gives them both the individual attention, patience, and love they need. She is attentive to their routines, genuinely enjoys spending time with them, and treats them like they’re her own pets. I couldn’t recommend Katherine more highly to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets!
Katherine is an exceptional human being and dog sitter. She is my consistent dog walker and GO TO to watch my Ollie every time I leave town. She gives Ollie so much love and attention. I couldn’t ask for better support.

Schedule
My job provides me a unique schedule that fits perfectly into pet care because I often work weekends, I have dedicated days off in the middle of the week. Additionally I work from home one day a week. This setup gives me exceptions midweek flexibility that a standard 9-5 sitter does not have. On my days off and WFH days, pet care is my primary focus. I am fully available for midday walks, daytime drop in visits, or keeping a house-sitting puppy company without the disruption of a strict office schedule. I update my Rover calendar constantly to reflect my weekly event shifts to ensure availability is always accurate and reliable for you.

- I’d love to know anything that will help me make your pet feel comfortable and cared for! Things like their personality, energy level, favorite activities or toys, feeding schedule, walking routine, medications, allergies, triggers, and anything they may be nervous or reactive around are all helpful to know. I also want to know their usual routine and any house rules you’d like me to follow so I can keep things as normal and comfortable for them as possible!
