Pet care experience

Tender love for your fur baby!

I was raised in a dog-loving home and that has set me on my path to work with Rover and take care of your pup. I’ve always felt a special connection to dogs. I grew up in Miami with a Dachshund named Blacky and I've cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, from a month-old Chihuahua to a full-grown Golden Retriever and Labs. I've worked very closely with a dog trainer who often taught me basic obedience commands and I love to practice with pups I’m caring for and teach them new tricks. When I was 24, I started dog walking and sitting and I’ve been in love with it ever since! I offer a variety of services, including overnights, walks, and vacation visits. I love being a dog sitter because of the flexibility I am able to create around my schedule and at the same time I can give back to my fellow companions. I also really enjoy training dogs with basic obedience commands and going on dog walks. I love to pet doggies, give them belly rubs, receive kisses and play with their toys. I will need to do a meet and greet before accepting a service inquiry. I want to make sure we are a good match and we are comfortable with each other. I communicate with my clients and give them peace of mind by sending pictures and videos of their fur babies after every visit.

Safety, trust & environment

I enjoy short and long walks with your pups. I take care of any specified needs such as feeding and water refreshment. My focus is to give your babies the utmost love and care. I stay with them as long as they need. I don't have an in and out mentality and don’t leave visits at a fixed time or have time increments. I like to put pets first 😊 I provide a very customized and personalized service so any specific request(s) you may have while I am in the home I am happy to accommodate. In addition to that I take care of everything around the home such as mail, newspaper, trash, and plant watering. You know you can continue ordering your amazon primer packages and your home will be cared for as well because I am bonded and carry my own pet insurance for your protection.

Katherine is a pro. She checked on our cats for us while we were out of town. She went above and beyond to give them attention and send us photos. Thanks Katherine!!

I want to do a meet and greet prior to your pup’s stay. I need to know if your pup is potty trained, neutered and if they get along with children and other dogs. I like to know their feeding schedule and how much exercise they need. I also enjoy training dogs with basic obedience commands, so let know if we need to do any work while you’re away! I’ll also stay in contact with you through texts and photos during your dog’s stay.
