Pet care experience

Skilled Pet Care

I’ve had animals my entire life and have a technical certificate as a veterinary assistant. I worked in an animal clinic in Brooklyn for 2 years, where I gained hands on experience with animal care, handling, and health monitoring. I’ve also spent 3 years dog walking, caring for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe, exercised, and well cared for while their owners are away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for every pet. With my background working in an animal clinic, I’m confident handling different temperaments and recognizing changes in behavior or health. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications if needed, and exercise. I adjust my approach based on each pet’s personality and always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

Katherine is so amazing!! She accepted my request a week before I needed her to feed and care for my 2 cats, and then my normally low maintenance cat stopped eating the day before I left, and the vet gave her lots of medicines and new foods. I was super anxious about leaving her, but Katherine gave all medicines, monitored her food, updated me on everything, responded to all of my messages, and made sure my kitties were getting the best care possible. She even brought them new treats that they both absolutely loved, and ordered something that I needed to get my cat to eat. I came home to two happy and healthy pets! She went truly above and beyond and I will absolutely be booking again!

House Sitting • Aug 12, 2026

Katherine was above and beyond my wildest expectations! I had never left my kittens with a stranger before and was super nervous. She did a meet and greet, sent me regualr updates (and the cutest pics), and made sure my girls were the number one priority. My kittens definitely fell in love with her and her daughter over the course of the week. I can't imagine a better sitter!

Schedule

I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-ins, walks, feedings, and check-ins throughout the week and weekends. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. I prioritize consistency and will stick closely to their normal schedule to keep them comfortable and stress-free while you’re away.

Katherine can host up to 25 drop-ins per day
Please let me know about your pet’s routine, energy level, and any special needs, including medications, feeding schedules, or behavioral quirks. I like to know triggers (like other dogs, noises, or separation anxiety), training commands they respond to, and anything that helps them feel safe. The more detail you provide, the better I can match their routine and make the experience smooth, safe, and stress free.
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.
