Highlights
Pet care experience
A whole family of dog lovers here ❤
I've had pets since I was 10 years old, including cats and dogs. I have often been called on to care for neighbor's and family member's cats, dogs, and bunnies. We welcome them all like they are our own, although I personally take all responsibility for care of visiting pets. We lost our beloved pit bull in 2022, but having a new baby has kept us from adopting again just yet. Right now the middle ground of pet-sitting is perfect in the meantime. I try my best to stick to your pet's schedule when they're home with you, with walks at the same times as they're accustomed to. I'm also very happy to accommodate just your pet(s) at a time! Safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I never want you to worry that your pet isn't getting along with another animal.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Katherine continues to be our top choice to watch our dogs. I highly recommend her and have the utmost confidence she would take care of your dog as well.
Before Katherine, we had only ever left our dog, Xena, with family. Even then, she would often come home a little out of sorts because she was most comfortable in our home and loves her routine. When a friend who was supposed to stay at our house had a last-minute emergency, I had to find other arrangements for Xena on short notice. After visiting several boarding facilities, I knew I couldn't leave her there. Someone suggested Rover, but the thought of having a stranger come into my home when we weren't there to take care of my dog made me nervous. I read a lot of reviews, and Katherine's profile stood out. The photos she shared of her family loving the dogs she cared for won me over. Her many 5-star reviews and many repeat customers gave me confidence that she was someone special. I sent her a message, she came to visit with our family and we knew we found our person for this trip and the future. Katherine's Rover Cards were fun to read, thoughtful, and often made me smile or laugh because she seemed to understand Xena's personality so well. It was clear that Xena wasn't just being watched...she was being loved. Katherine is kind, responsible, communicative, and loves animals. I was truly able to enjoy my time away knowing my dog was happy and safe. I will absolutely be using Katherine again and would recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet.
My fur babies love staying here!
They love Kattie and the girls. When they knew they were going there they cried with excitement.
I had an amazing experience with Katherine! She was kind, communicative, and sent lots of pictures. My dog was clearly comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking again!
As always, Katie was amazing! She treats my dog like he’s her own pet, while also sending regular photo and text updates, and being accommodating to minor changes in schedule to make my life easier and less stressful

Schedule
I'm a stay at home mom, so I have lots of time (and a great fenced yard) for your pets! I love to walk and often ask to bring dogs along to keep me company.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I love animals and I've always let our furry visitors on the couch and bed with us (if that's what they're accustomed to). They truly become part of the family during their visits! We spend lots of time outside and everyone in the house shows them affection. We can also crate dogs if requested.
A typical day
We have a great yard with lots of dog toys for those who like to fetch! We also have a 2 mile trail that we use on a daily basis for walks.
