Pet care experience
I grew up with a variety of pets, including dogs, rats/gerbils/rabbits/fish, and briefly a cat. I have cared for friends’ pets since I was 10 years old. I am a licensed healthcare provider and PhD student who enjoys watching pets in my spare time. I am also certified in Cat/Dog First Aid from the American Red Cross.
Reviews
Katherine was fantastic! She was very communicative throughout her stay to make sure our animals were being cared for and providing pictures and updates on how everyone was doing.
Kathleen was exceptional. She cared for our two pups while we were away and gave them so much love and attention. We received regular updates and photos, which was very reassuring. Kathleen was also very neat and clean and left our home in perfect condition. What's more, our dogs seemed very happy.
Katherine was great! She took care of both of our dogs so well! Will (and did) recommend her to anyone needing someone to care for their pups!
Patient and loving and my dog was a bit unruly! Her love to the pet is wonderful. She deserves much 👏👏👏
About Katherine L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When house or pet sitting, I try to spend as much time as I can with pets and leave the house/apartment cleaner than when I arrived. I send pictures and updates regularly. **Note** For house sitting, I no longer accept bookings if my husband, James, is not permitted to join me. This is non-negotiable. He is also an excellent sitter on Rover: https://r.rover.com/kPNzdc He works full-time as an elementary teacher. It is just too hectic for us with meal planning, scheduling, and logistics if he is not allowed to come with me. Plus, you get two sitters for the price of one! It’s a win-win (we hope!).
Information Katherine L. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special dietary needs, medical needs, or behavioral triggers so that I can accommodate them. I am not easily fazed by quirky things pets do, but I would rather know before a booking than during a booking. I am happy to dispense medications provided that you put instructions for all medications in writing. Please leave me with your vet’s name and number in case of an emergency.
A typical day
I like to enjoy quality time with the dogs I watch, including walks, play time, belly rubs, and snuggles on the couch. If requested, I will also brush your dog’s coat or give them a bath as long as you provide supplies.

Availability
I am a PhD student with a flexible schedule. I am done with classes and starting the dissertation portion of my program, so I can be flexible (with some notice).
