Safety, trust & environment

While in your home, I will be respectful of your space and ensure your pet follows the house rules for their behavior. I also intend to keep your pet safe by using a pre established personalized plan to care for them, including checking the doors are closed and locked, verifying any medications they take are correctly dosed, and that I send regular pictures to you of your pet to ensure you know where they are.

Information Katherine P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet requires any medication, any known behaviors around new people, and something they do to calm themselves down. I recognize that a new person can create chaos and if I'm able to model what you do with them, they may calm down quickly.

A typical day

I love long walks, playing games, and snuggles. A typical day might include a trip to a nearby park and playing fetch with a favorite toy to stimulate them. For dogs that may want a bit more stimulation, I'll hide treats and play hide-and-seek with food or a toy.

Katherine was great! She arrived on time and was understanding that Primmie is a little shy sometimes. She also went above and beyond by offering to wash the sheets and vacuum!!

Katherine was wonderful. She was attentive and communicative. She left our place better than how it was when she arrived. Would absolutely use again.

Rynn was phenomenal! An absolute lifesaver for our anxious dog during the 4th of July fireworks. Rynn was flexible, responsive, and went above and beyond to make Patches feel safe and loved. Our apartment was spotless upon our return as well. Would highly recommend!

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.
