Pet care experience

Relax when your dogs are with us.

General Info: Dog walking, daytime or overnight care, check in service, oral or injectable medications administered. (Cats and certain exotic animals welcome). We love them all and have a real connection with older dogs, their senior personalities and special needs. We’re a great team, my grandmother and me, and we will treat your pet(s) just as we treat our own. On the furniture is okay with us. Sleeping in the bed; who doesn’t? Just let us know your preferences and that is how we will proceed. About Katherine: Junior Volunteer at the Dallas Zoo for 8 years. Volunteered at the Perot Science Museum for 3 years and won the White House Presidential Award for volunteer commitment and hours worked. Also a volunteer at the Lochwood Library. Past member of 4H, pretty good at archery, a beekeeper for 3 years. Bird enthusiast and amateur photographer. About Sissy: Photo above. One of two chihuahuas and 12 1/2 years old. Love the photo of Sissy taking a nap sitting up. MiMi: Loves dogs and is home all the time. Toby: He is also 12 1/2 years. He is an old soul and quite handsome. About you: We also will make a great team with you. We absolutely enjoy doing this and consider it a privilege to take special care of your pets when you need us. Regarding your overnight guests we will need some additional information from you to take the best care of your pet(s). That includes immunization records. Tell us what he or she likes and dislikes. Get along well with other animals or more of a loner? Does he enjoy playing catch, long walks or snoozing on the sofa? Are treats allowed? Please note any medical conditions and/or requirements in written form and let’s discuss in detail. Lions and tigers and FLEAS, oh my! We are free of all of the aforementioned. Please make sure your pet is on flea prevention also. Pups that are overnight guests will be walked in our neighborhood, which is active with other dog walkers. We have a school yard one block away.

Katherine is consistent but we felt like she did not clean the litter box appropriately. We also noticed she would only stay for less than 10 minutes when we booked a full 30.

Pets

A typical day

Around our neighborhood or we can drive to White Rock lake or another park-type area, if the owner prefers. We're hands on, so lots of petting and interaction if your pup likes that.

0 to 15 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Katherine can host up to 4 pets per night
Small dogs preferred, under 20 pounds. Personality type: calm? anxious? Friendly or shy? what does he/she like? We're fine with all types of personalities, but don't want to take a chance with biters.
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.
