Reliable pet lover

My background in education has provided me with the exceptional level of reliability. My daily work with children translates directly into calm, patient care with animals. As I go out to different places dogs seem to gravitate towards me.

Safety, trust & environment

My primary goal is to maintain a predictable, secure, and stress-free environment where your pets feel completely safe. I make sure that the doors, gates and windows are completely locked after every visit. I follow all schedules that you lay out.

Kate is absolutely great with pets! I've entrusted her with my baby Sophie on more than one occasion and I think she had as good a time as I did on my vacation. Kate kept me updated with texts and pictures and I felt confident that my dog was in good hands. I won't hesitate to use her again with either my dog or cat if I need them taken care of when I'm not home.

Kate was wonderful taking care of my 3 cats last November! Molly, my senior cat, will stay under the bed when people are around. Kate would bring her dinner and treats and put it under the bed for her. Bella and Theo are more social. She fed them, changed their litter and water daily. Played with Theo, who is the most social of all! Kate is great! Will definitely use her again this year!!

I'm happy to recommend Kate for a position with Rover. She is very organized, conscientious and comfortable caring for a variety of pets. Kate's love of animals and her willingness to go the extra mile is always apparent in everything she is does. Given the opportunity I know she will be an asset to the Rover org.

Important information detailed for me. I would need to know medication, allergies, vet information, feeding schedule, treat rules, bathroom habits and sleeping arrangements. Any type of behavior to watch out for. For example, reactive triggers, like to chase small animals, separation anxiety, warn me if they are protected of their own toys, and if they like to escape.
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.
