Katherine took the very best care of my boy, Spanky. She knew I was really worried about my 17 year old kitty at home without me when I was on vacation. You should be very proud to have Katherine as a premier care taker with Rover. I will recommend Katherine to all of my friends who travel and need the best and kindest care for their pet. She is one in a million. My rating would be 10+ stars.

Katherine was wonderful with our dog and cats. She is thoughtful, caring, and clearly loves animals. Our dog was very happy in her care, and the cats didn’t even hide when she came to feed them—which, for our cats, is an endorsement in itself! We would happily have Katherine care for our pets again.

Katherine is extremely responsive and reliable. She also clearly loves animals and really hit things off with both my dog and my cat. She even took the dog on the extra-long walks he adores! Having Katherine take care of my animals makes me feel much more comfortable traveling!

Schedule

I have four children (all older) and I’ve been a stay at home mom for a long time! So my schedule is flexible. I help take care of my dad who is 86 so I need the animal care to keep me sane!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Katherine can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs. I have given insulin shots to senior dogs and have administered oral medication in cats and dogs. I feel more confident giving cats medicine but dogs like me and I feel I can handle that as well.
These prices are for 1 dog.
