Pup-loving college student!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Katherine! First of all -- Thanks so much for visiting my profile! Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns. I look forward to meeting your critters! Now, a little about me: I'm a sophomore at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. I'm studying business and French and have big dreams of working and living abroad! I have one dog of my own named Ladybug. She's a lab husky mix who loves to howl and take naps. She is PRECIOUS! Some perks of choosing me as your Rover sitter :) ... - I've had experience with dog walking for over 10 years. - I have a big heart for dogs! As a little girl, I organized 2 non-profit organizations in order to raise money for Great Pyr Rescue and Richardson Rescue Animal Shelter and raised over $2,500 by dog-walking and selling homemade dog treats. - I'm into fitness and running, so I will take your energetic dog on runs if that's something you'd be interested in! - I send daily picture updates of your animals. - I've had experience with elderly dogs, puppies, and huge dogs. - Organization and time management are some of my strong suits. I will be prompt to meet you and take care of your pups. - I will leave your home/apartment tidy and neat.

Katherine managed our 4 fur babies with very well. We received updates and photos, and she didn’t hesitate to contact us with questions about the dogs or cat. We are pleased and will call upon Katherine when she is available. Good luck in college!!

Katherine is very nice and took great care of my dog. She was on time and notified me when arrived and when done walking her. I really enjoyed seeing the pictures she took. I appreciated the communication. It was very comforting knowing that my dog was in great hands with Katherine. I will definitely use her in the future.

Kathrine did great with our dogs! She was always on time to take them out at the times we discussed. She sent us picture updates and made our trip stress free knowing the dogs were in good hands! Would highly recommend and book again in the future!

Katherine was hands down amazing! We could not have asked for a better pet/house sitter for our week on vacation. She was extremely friendly and personable, sent photo updates daily, made sure they were well cared for, and stuck to a schedule they were used to. Katherine went the extra mile as well; the house was spotless when we got home and she watered our plants. 10/10 recommend her to care for your pets. You will not be disappointed!

Let me know if your dog has any dietary restrictions, digestive issues, reactions to storms/thunder, and if they are acclimated to sleeping on the bed with you.

I want to make your animals feel just as safe and at home as when you are here with them. I will do my best to make sure everything feels just as comfortable and normal, and even try to make it like a vacation for them too with more games, rubs, walks, treats, and cuddles!
