Pet care experience

I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and have cared for a wide variety of pets since I was young, from cats and dogs to chickens, lizards, chinchillas, and more! I am comfortable with pets of all ages and abilities, and I am especially skilled in providing care for those with special needs. My family dog growing up was diabetic and blind, and I was responsible for administering his daily insulin shots. Today, I give my own dog daily oral medication. I promise to be patient, observant, and gentle when caring for pets who need a little extra help. You can rest easy knowing that I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I believe that open communication is key, and I will happily send you as many photo and text updates as you would like while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you furry friends!

Katherine was fantastic! She was incredibly flexible when we needed to shift days around, and her attentiveness throughout gave us real peace of mind. Our dogs were in great hands and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. 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.
