Information Katherine R. would like to know about your pet

I would definitely need to know if they have any needed accommodations: medications, feeding time, special needs, special requests of the owner to make sure they get the best out of myself :)

A typical day

I know a dogs/ cats favorite part of the day is playing and that brings me joy making them happy! I also love when weather permits to take them out on a walk

Pet care experience

My name is Katherine nice to meet you and thank you for checking my page out! I have a degree in criminal justice and Justice and law administration with a minor in Criminology. I currently work from home and nanny/ dogsit on my days off. I have babysat for multiple families and with the family’s they also have some fur babies that I have come to be very close with! Anyways, while my stay with the dog/s or cat/s I do their proper routine as asked: food, water, medications, walks, playtime, sleeping there, check ins multiple times throughout the day, all depending on what the owner would like for me to do with them! I truly love what I do on the side. I love any fur baby and I see them just as humans with feelings. I have excellent references from my previous bosses from babysitting, dog sitting, housesitting, restaurants, and current job. I work from home with a flexible schedule which works perfect with being a dog sitter. Any time or day of the week works with me!

We are super happy with Katherine! She took care of our dog Maxi for a weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She sent us regular photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Maxi was well cared for and felt comfortable with her. Katherine is incredibly friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I can highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

Katherine was AWESOME. First and foremost, my doggo Jack came home super happy - I could tell he had a great stay. Katherine was able to take Jack on short notice and was flexible with pickup as I navigated various flight delays on the way home. She was communicative, sending daily updates with pics throughout my trip. Being able to have peace of mind when you have to leave your beloved pet (especially when you have to leave on short notice), is such a blessing. 10/10, could not recommend Katherine enough.

Katherine was so helpful taking our dog Ellie last minute on Thanksgiving. She was even kind enough to have her for one more day last minute, while we had guests in town! She sent pictures and was very responsive! Would absolutely use Katherine again in the future!

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.
