I treat the dogs I sit as I would my own. We start our day with a morning walk before breakfast and play time. I am normally home by 4:30 and spend most evenings relaxing at home.

Information Katherine R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any health or behavioral issues ahead of time. Knowing these things helps me provide the best care for your furry family member!

A typical day

I love playing fetch and walking to provide physical exercise for your dog. Additionally, I regularly use enrichment feeders and toys for much needed mental stimulation.

your dog’s new best friend

Pet care experience

I have owned dogs all of my life and volunteered with various animal rescues. I have cared for diabetic dogs and dogs with other special needs. I love every dog I meet and will treat your dog as my own. It will be showered with love and belly rubs. I would love the opportunity to pamper and love your dog as my own.

Katherine was wonderful with my nervous/anxious dog. She knew how to calmly greet her and gradually make friends. Saylor is not high maintenance but she’s slow to warm up to knew people. Katherine handled it like a pro and took great care of my girl.

Katherine did an excellent job. My dog has a lot of puppy energy. She kept him busy and entertained and loved!

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.
