Highlights
Pet care experience
Shelter trained pet lover
I’ve worked at an animal shelter and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all temperaments, sizes, and energy levels. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I love both dogs and cats and will treat your pets like they’re part of my own family.

Katherine also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Katie was amazing with our highly active Australian shepherd and senior cat. She their food and medications instructions perfectly and took our dog on long walks every morning. She is punctual and super tidy, leaving our house just as we had left it. It’s obvious that she truly loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel cared for when their families are away!
Katherine is incredibly responsible and reliable. She is always on time and does a great job managing multiple tasks in a day. She truly loves animals and you can see it in the way she cares for them. Whenever her dogs visit her at the beach, she’s always taking them on long walks and making sure they’re happy and active. I would absolutely trust Katherine to take great care of any pet.
Kate Robertson is seriously amazing with animals. She just has that natural way about her, they instantly feel comfortable around her. She’s patient, gentle, and always puts their needs first. She also has two dogs that she absolutely loves, and you can tell they’re her whole world. She takes such good care of them and treats them like family. Anyone would be lucky to have Kate looking after their pets.
I can’t think of anyone more perfect to join Rover than Kate R.! She has two dogs of her own, so she truly understands what it means to care for pets not just as animals, but as family members. She’s patient, attentive, and incredibly loving with them — and that same energy extends to every animal she meets. Kate also used to work at an animal shelter, which says so much about her character. She has experience with dogs of all temperaments, sizes, and backgrounds, and she knows how to handle everything from energetic puppies to shy or anxious rescues. She’s calm, responsible, and very in tune with animals’ needs and body language. Any pet parent would be lucky to have Kate caring for their furry family member. She treats every animal like her own, and you can truly trust that they’ll be safe, happy, and loved in her care. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I’m currently a graduate student, which gives me a flexible schedule and free days to dedicate to pet care. I’m able to plan my routine around walks, drop-ins, feedings, and quality time so your pet gets consistent attention. Because I’m home often, your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches and will get plenty of care and companionship.
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, pets are treated like part of the family with a safe, calm environment, structured routines, regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m mindful of keeping spaces clean, secure, and stress-free so they feel comfortable and settled. In clients’ homes, I respect your routines and preferences to keep your pet’s schedule consistent, whether that’s specific feeding times, medication, crate training, or favorite walking routes. I’m reliable, communicative, and always focused on making sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away.
