Pet care experience

Katie J

I live in Logan Square with Penny and Teddy, my two cats from Harmony House. I can handle any types of special needs and medication administration. My Penny has asthma, Teddy is always getting into trouble that often requires oral medication, and I help care for my sister's cat with diabetes by giving insulin injections. I'll give your babies lots of love and attention and follow any instructions you desire! :) I've always loved cats since I was a kid, and I once rescued a kitten and raised her through adulthood when I was in high school / college, I've cared for roommates' cats, and I now have two rescue cats of my own.

Katherine was very on top of the care for our senior kitty. She left detailed messages and pictures. I trust her and would absolutely book her again.

Katherine was extremely communicative. I really appreciated her thoroughness. This was my first time outsourcing pet care and I felt comfortable knowing they were well taken care of.

She was super communicative throughout the booking process, and my cat warmed up to her quickly. Have already recommended her to others. Super grateful for Katie!

Having a senior cat can bring me a lot of anxiety about leaving him in another’s hands but Katie did such a phenomenal job! She gave great updates, followed strict medical instructions, and gave me a lot of comfort in leaving my cat in her care.

Schedule

Each morning I wake up and feed my two cats some dry food, scoop their liter boxes, and play with them using their fishing rod toy. My days are flexible as I work toward a career pivot, so I spend time Rovering to care for other cats. When I'm home for the night, I feed each of my cats wet food and continue playing with them.

Cats
Katherine can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Please let me know what types of toys you have and level of play desired. Please let me know of any special needs in advance - I can administer medication as needed, just let me know :)
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.
