Safety, trust & environment

I know how nerve-wracking it can be trusting a complete stranger with your babies. I will always treat your's as if they are my own. For the time that they are with me, I will give them my undivided attention and care.

Information Katherine R. would like to know about your pet

My job as a teacher is to meet the child where they are. My approach is the same when taking care of your pets as well my own. If your babies have any special diet, food allergies, favorite toys/games/places to go, preferred place for pup cups (mine like Starbucks,) please let me know. And let me know if there are any triggers to be aware of. Keeping your pets safe is my number one priority.

A typical day

As their "mom" for the day, I always stick to whatever routine they currently have. I am more than happy to stop by as many times they need. I know puppies especially need to be checked on several times. Its not a problem. :-)

Katherine was great with my two kitties! She was flexible and very communicative. She went above and beyond when there was an error on my end and made sure my boys were taken care of. Thank you!!

Katherine really helped me out by stepping in last minute to check on my kitten and was so easy to work with. She confirmed all the relevant details, asked good questions, played with my little guy during her visit and made sure everything was in good order before leaving. Can’t thank you enough, Katherine!!

Katherine did exactly what was needed, and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something, which I really appreciate!

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.
