Boarding clients are my top priority. I want every dog to feel as though they are at home. Stress and anxiety is something very manageable in a lot of dogs and I want every dog to feel comfortable during their stay. I work full time but am able to come home regularly during the day.

Katherine has been a phenomenal sitter for my senior dogs. She has been very attentive and has sent me adorable pictures and videos. I was very nervous leaving them for 8 days but Katherine has honestly gone above and beyond my expectations!!! I would highly recommend and I hope to use her again in the near future.

Katherine was very accommodating when it came to pick up and drop off times. She allowed for us to set up a meet and greet prior which reassured us for our first rover stay! We will definitely be using her again.

Amazingly accommodating and very professional as well as knowledgeable about different dog’s behaviors and how to manage them. And I have never seen the dogs this content after being boarded. 10/10 will be using Katherine again!

Katherine was amazing. First of all my dog loved her! And she was very organized and accommodating, had a great environment for my dog to be in, and is a great communicator. She sent several pictures of my fur baby during her stay. I appreciate Katherine very much for her hospitality.

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.
