Pet care experience

Care & love your dogs like my own!

Hi! I would love to be your dog's new best friend! I believe dogs have the purest souls and each and every one should be treated to a life full of fetch, belly rubs, treats, and lots of walks. I have a fur baby of my own that brings so much joy to my life. He is 8 years old and I have served as his primary caretaker since he was a puppy. From vet visits, to trips to the park, and a regular feeding/walking schedule, I have covered all the ground that comes with being a dog owner. I am comfortable handling both small and large dogs and am happy to accommodate any extra/special needs (i.e. regular medications, longer or shorter walks, etc) your fur babies may have.

Safety, trust & environment

I always do my best to observe your dog in their natural habitat, if you will, and adapt to their needs and/or routine. My goal is to keep their situation as normal and happy for them as possible since they are no doubt missing their families :)

Katherine was amazing! She is so professional and detailed. Excellent with our dog and very knowledgeable about animal care. We would highly recommend Katherine and will be using her in the future for sure.

Katherine did an excellent job spoiling our puppy and cat. We will definitely be using her again if we need a housesitter.

Another great experience with Katherine! I think our dogs like her more than they do us. She took wonderful care of our babies and our home.

Katherine was amazing!! Not only did she take care of our pets, but she took such good care of our home. We came home to happy pets and a clean home. We can’t wait to have her come back!

Katherine is incredible. she has watched our dogs two times now. Once for 9 days and once for a weekend. She asks a lot of questions and is interested in learning their personalities. One of our dogs has a lot of anxiety and is very picky with people. she LOVES Katherine.

Schedule

I work part time on weekday mornings and am able to work from home for 3 out of the 4 hours I'm scheduled. Any other work I do is 1099 (cleaning homes, babysitting my niece), so my schedule is very flexible and I'm able to easily move things around if needed.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Katherine can host up to 1 pet per night
I would like to know what fears the dog has (i.e. other dogs, thunder, being around water) so we can avoid any triggers. I would also like to have an idea of their regular daily schedule so I can keep them on their same routine. And it would be great to know some of their favorite toys & treats as well! I am open to all breeds, ages, sizes.
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.
