Pet care experience

I have always grown up with pets, especially dogs. I have done extensive work with many shelters, including Key to Lions heart. I have five pups at home and have completed many trainings with handling aggressive dogs. I love caring for pets of all kind at all points in life. I would make sure to treat every pet as my own :).

Katherine was amazing with our dog Brie. She was very communicative and sent lots of updates about Brie along the way. Our dog seemed very happy and had lots of fun with her! Would highly recommend booking her

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.
