I love my job!!
Pet care experience
I’ve been an animal lover since I can remember and have cared for many, many types of different animals. I decided it was time to turn my personal enjoyment into a professional venture. I find spending time with animals is absolutely therapeutic and enriching. Each time I meet a new fur baby it is always a memorable experience! This job is truly fulfilling :) I have years of experience with house sitting and animal care. This includes elderly and specials needs animals, dog walking (even the zigzaggers!) and performing overall daily care (bathing, brushing, playing, nurturing, feeding, meds, etc.) I have multiple repeat clients. It’s been an absolute joy and privilege being even a small part of each of their little lives 💜
Reviews
Katherine was the absolute best!! We immediately felt comfortable and our pets loved her as well! We never worried while we were away and knew our furbabies were in very good hands. She sent picture updates and texts daily and even took the trash out and vacuumed for us without us asking her too :) this was our first experience with Rover and we were so blessed and thankful to have found Katherine! Highly recommend her and will be rebooking in the future if we need someone! Thanks so very much Katherine!!
Katherine was great with our 2 dogs. We got pics and updates throughout the weekend and we enjoyed being away knowing our pups were well cared for.
Katherine was an amazing sitter! She went above and beyond and took awesome care of Obi. We really appreciate her attentiveness and communication!
Having worked with Kate personally I cannot recommend her enough. Kate possesses so many qualities that make an excellent sitter. She loving, attentive and patient with the fur babies in her care. Kate is the type of sitter that goes above and beyond, and then some! Not only that, she sure knows how to make sure a home is neat and tidy. If your looking for an top tier sitter, look no further, Kate is the BEST.PERIOD!!!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have had many jobs where trust and discretion was paramount. I am deeply respectful of your space and your precious pet(s). I honor the privilege of trust and do prefer to spend time wherever your pets like to spend time. It’s best to keep their routine as normal as possible. So it’s important for me to sit and do drop-ins at the clients home. Please share information about your pets unique habits and what makes them comfortable and happy!! I always do a meet and greet because it’s vital to ensure the safety of both parties. I would never leave my own pup with someone that made them uncomfortable for any reason. On rare occasions it’s just not a good fit and that’s okay! There’s something to learn from each encounter. I grew up with many dogs so usually its quick to tell if a furry one isn’t comfortable. However I have been fortunate to have exceptional clients and incredible experiences. I look forward to developing an enjoyable and enriching relationship with you and your furry ones!!
Information katherine s. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any dietary issues, special needs, comforting routines or items and anything else notable to ensure the best care! I am pleased to accommodate most situations.
A typical day
Playing with animals and getting to know their special little personalities is so much fun!! If they love to be outdoors, I am ready to explore with them. Fetch? Running? Sun bathing? Snuggling? If they are introverted couch potatoes or have limitations, I can also be their quiet companion. Just as every person is different, so is every animal. I like to adjust to their environment. I also love getting to know what their favorite toy is and how they interact with it. I have seen a lot of interesting and hilarious toy habits lol. Or I can provide toys/treats as needed!

Availability
I am an independent contractor so I make my own schedule. Therefore I’m fairly flexible and can work around my clients schedules as long as I have the availability. I enjoy being able to meet new fur babies and get to know repeat clients better! I perform daily care, walks, snuggles and play or I can simply be there for companionship.
