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.

Katie was great. She did everything that was asked. She played with the cats, sent photos and was able to give my cat medicine which isn’t the easiest of tasks! I would recommend her to any cat owner and in the future if she is available I would hire her again! Thanks Katie!

You’re amazing!! Thank you for taking care of my kitty as if she was your own. She absolutely loves you. Would recommend you to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy, reliable, responsive, and very thoughtful cat sitter that goes above and beyond to make sure kitty feels safe clean and loved.

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.

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.
