Katherine is absolutely wonderful with my cats! She’s so sweet, caring, and always makes sure they have everything they need. I always use her services whenever she’s available because I know my cats are in such good hands with her. She even went above and beyond and helped me bring some of my personal belongings to my room when I had surgery. That meant so much to me, and I truly appreciate her kindness and thoughtfulness. I highly recommend her!

Katherine Shipp has been around dogs, cats, and horses her whole life. Animal wellbeing is very important to her. Katherine will provide the best care to any animal she is asked to care for. She has done live-in dog care several times, and live-in horse farm care which included horses and dogs. She is an excellent candidate for a Rover pet sitting position.
