Pet care experience

Here to care for your fur babies!

Although I am new to Rover, I grew up with both dogs and cats and have almost 20 years of care experience. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your animal in someone else’s care- should you find me to be the right fit to care for your animal(s), I would not take the responsibility lightly and would provide the level of care I would want my own animals to be treated with. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Additionally, I have experience administering medicine (both oral and topical) as well as taking care of wounds (bandages, cleaning, medicating, etc). Thank you for your consideration and don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions!

Safety, trust & environment

I will follow whatever instructions given to me. I am very confident in ability to care for animals due to over a decade of learning through experience. I understand that every animal has his or her own unique needs and I am committed to meeting whatever those needs may be.

Katherine has been great with our dog Holly! She has done several drop-in visits with her during the day while we are at work. She is very communicative, follows our instructions to a T, and always sends cute photos. Would definitely recommend Katherine for anyone looking for a responsible sitter to watch your pet!

House Sitting • Jan 31, 2023

Katherine was wonderful with our dog!!! We had previously boarded Fran but she was unhappy when we got home. When we got home after Katie watched her, she was her usual happy, outgoing self. Katie sent us pictures of Fran and bathed her before our return. The house and ALL of our many packages that had been delivered were stacked neatly next to our mail. It was so nice to know that everything was taken care of!!! We can’t recommend Katherine highly enough!

INCREDIBLE!!! Seriously a life saver. We contacted Katie 1 week prior to leaving town for 9 nights to get married in Mexico. Our original petsitter plans weren’t going to work out and my stress level was high to say the least. She was confident and calm and my 2 dogs loved her right away. She gave great communication throughout the whole stay and sent me a video of my baby on the morning of my wedding wishing me good luck?❤️ She took such wonderful care of our pups and home. I’ve never seen them be more relaxed upon our arrival home. Couldn’t be happier with our pet sitting experience!!

Katie has watched my dog Archie since he was a puppy. She is responsible, caring, and a true dog lover! I always know that Archie is in good hands when she is caring for him.

Schedule

I am currently working from home with a flexible schedule therefore am able to do daily check ins, walks, or stay with your pet if that is what you are most comfortable with. Weekends are the same as I focus on graduate school but have the ability to study from home.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Katherine can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
If there is anything special your dog requires- do not hesitate to let me know. I have a high energy, nervous dog and I completely understand greeting accommodations, weird quirks, and any additional requests. I feel comfortable having a medication schedule written out for reference if your dog requires specialized 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.
