Pet care experience

Trusted Luxury Pet Care

With over two decades of experience in canine care, I've cultivated a deep understanding of dog handling and care that empowers me to make a positive impact. Starting as a 10-year-old caring for neighbor's dogs with twice-daily walks, I've consistently demonstrated reliability and dedication. Growing up with Golden Retrievers and now sharing my life with a standard size Goldendoodle named Penny, has not only strengthened my love for animals but also taught my children the value of compassion. My family, including my husband, two children, and I, along with Penny, are committed to providing your dog with constant companionship, attentive care, and a nurturing environment. Having trained dogs in basic commands and upheld the highest standards of pet care, I'm confident in my ability to unlock the full potential of your dog and provide exceptional care.

Katherine was amazing. She boarded my two doodles for six days, and her communication was great, including daily photo updates. She was incredibly accommodating, and it was such a relief to know my dogs were in great hands and having fun. I’ll definitely be using her services again!

We had a wonderful experience with Katie! She gave us complete peace of mind while caring for our fur baby, Old Sport, our Pomapoo. We received regular updates and pictures, and Katie was always very communicative throughout the stay. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. We will definitely be using her again for any future needs!

We had a very good experience overall with Katherine. She was informative, kind, and sent pictures to keep us updated during Bella's stay. She also took Bella on daily walks which is one of her most favorite things to do. This was my first time using Rover and I am very pleased with the experience.

We had the absolute BEST experience with Katie. Leaving a young puppy can be nerve-wracking, but she completely put our minds at ease from the very beginning. She went above and beyond in every way, providing consistent updates, sharing how he was doing, and clearly giving him so much attention and care. It was obvious he was not only well taken care of, but truly thriving while we were away. Her communication was incredible, and we never once felt anxious or unsure. That peace of mind is priceless, especially with such a young pup. We are so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be using her again. Highly, highly recommend!

Schedule

Hi my name is Katie. As a full-time homemaker, my schedule allows for seamless integration of pet care responsibilities. Given my consistent presence at home, managing a routine that includes our current pets - a goldendoodle and a turtle - along with caring for our two children, is quite manageable. Consequently, incorporating additional pets would not significantly impact our existing schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a spacious yard of nearly an acre, which is not fenced. However, I am happy to walk your dog on a leash if required. My own goldendoodle and two children will ensure your dog has a fun time, and we have a variety of toys available. Additionally, if your dog requires solitude, we can provide a quiet space. During summertime we will have doggy pool available for your pup to cool off in.

Pets

A typical day

We have almost an acre for our back yard so for fun there will be lots of running, playing ball, lots of toys and engaging games.

Please inform me of any special needs or behaviors your dog exhibits that require accommodation. This way we can give them the best stay and we have no problems ahead. Also please provide leash, harness, and a crate if needed when bringing your dog. Also you will need to provide the food, bowels, and treats. We will have hypoallergenic treats here also.
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.
