Experienced & friendly dog lover

Pet care experience

I absolutely love dogs. You’re probably thinking “Well she better love dogs if she’s signing up for Rover”, but I’m the type of person that if I see dogs, I love going over and asking their owners if I can pet them. I’ve lived with dogs (and other animals) for most of my life so I’m well acquainted with dog mannerisms, behavior, and training. As for dog caretaking, I have about 15 years of experience taking care of many different types of dogs including, but not limited to, chihuahuas, corgis, cockerspaniels, labradors, german shepherds, golden retrievers, and rescued dogs (breeds unknown). This experience includes dog walking, house sitting, dog boarding, and drop-in visits. Currently, my availability differs slightly per day so please let me know what days and times you’re looking for. I’m very patient, responsible, and flexible and would love the chance to get to know you and your pup!

Always a great experience with Katherine and Shasta! I feel bad having to pick my pup up at the end of our vacation because she was having so much fun. I would highly recommend!

Katherine is awesome! This is the second time we got help from her to take care of our cat. She spent at least half an hour playing with him and sent us photos everyday. She also helped push out the garbage & recycle carts for collection. Recommend to anyone who’s looking for trustworthy sitters!

Katherine is the best! She is ”a pet person” and my puppy immediately took a liking to her. Her dog Shasta was a great companion, while showing my puppy the daily routines, accompanying each other on walks to the park, and backyard playtime. Katherine kept me updated with photos and narratives about their activities. I would definitely recommend her!!

Katherine is very energetic and nice. Dogs don’t talk, but from Cocoa’s reaction to Katherine, I know that she liked her a lot. Smooth drop in and drop off, daily updates and pictures. I really appreciate it and for sure when I need someone to take care of Cocoa, I will knock on Katherine’s door first. Thank your Katherine

Information Katherine T. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about their personality and if there are any activities in particular that they like to do. It would also be great to know if they have any restrictions or health concerns that I should be aware of during my time with your dog. I don’t have any breed preferences (although I LOVE puppies), but I cannot take care of particularly aggressive animals out of concern for my safety and the safety of my animals. Just to clarify, this is a personality preference, not a breed preference.

A typical day

It depends on the dog! Some dogs are older or more laid back and just want company. Others have high energy and love going to dog parks. Depending on the dog and their needs, I usually take them on walks around the neighborhood or go to parks/dog parks. Your dog is guaranteed to get a ton of belly rubs.
