Pet care experience

Vet Asst Turned Pet Lover 4 Hire 🌱

Hello! Animals have always been a big part of my life. From caring for my own pets to volunteering and helping animals in my community. That love led me to complete a veterinary assistant certification program in ‘15 and working at an exotic animal hospital in Wilton, CT, where I gained hands-on experience with pets of all kinds. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small animals of all ages - from playful puppies to sweet seniors - and I’m comfortable with medications, special diets, and reading each animal’s unique needs and energy. Whether your pet is looking for a long walk or some quiet companionship, I’ll treat them like family! I offer: •🐕 Dog walks (quick strolls or longer hikes) •🐾 In-home sitting (daytime or overnight) •🐈‍⬛ Cat check-ins (feeding, play, meds) •💊 Experienced with meds, injections, and special care •📸 Detailed updates with love + photos! Can’t wait to meet your best friend(s)!!🐾💚

I treat each pet as my own - with patience, compassion, and dependable care.

Katherine takes such good care of my girl, Eloise. She is communicative, engaged, and makes sure that Eloise has a good time while also being safe. If you are looking for quality pet care, look no further than Katherine.

I always want to provide the best care possible, so here are a few things that are helpful to know ahead of time: •Medical needs – Any current health conditions, allergies, medications, or special diets. •Behavior quirks – How your pet reacts to new people, other animals, or certain triggers (loud noises, strangers, etc.). •Routine – What their normal day looks like (feeding schedule, potty breaks, preferred walking routes, etc.). •Comfort items – Favorite toys, treats, or habits that help them feel safe and at ease. •Commands/training – Any cues or hand signals your pet knows (especially helpful for walks or playtime). Even the little things help me care for your pet the way you would. 💚
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.
