Pet care experience
Hi! I’m back on Rover after a few years focusing on moving/building a company! My husband and I grew up with dogs, and we now have a 1.5 year old pup of our own (in addition to our indoor/outdoor cat and four chickens in the backyard). We work from home; have a fenced-in back yard and are active people -- so we can meet your dog's activity needs (running, dog park, walks, play time). Our dog, Moose, is very friendly with other dogs and submissive enough to know when to give another dog their space. We are home all day (aside from errands), but we are working. So, it is best for us to take care of a dog who, like ours, enjoys morning activity followed by a "rest period" (not necessarily crated, but chilling in the house with us), then afternoon activity followed by a rest period, and evening activity. Please let us know a little bit about your dog's temperament, particularly pertaining to their interactions with other dogs, cats and birds. We have four chickens in the backyard and, while they are fenced in -- we need to know if your dog has the hunting instinct so we can keep an eye on that. If your dog chases cats, we are not a good match. We do require a "meet and greet" before scheduling care. Thank you!
Reviews
Katherine is an animal lover through and through, and her affection for our furry friends is matched by her passion for their care and well-being. She takes training, regular care, and pet health very seriously, while also reveling in their quirks and eccentricities. I know when she cares for my cat that Nyx is both getting wonderful, attentive care and lots of cuddles and play time.
Katherine is THE BEST thing that has ever happened to my dog. My dog is gets so excited every time she see's Katherine. Reliable. Responsible. Shows up when she says. True animal lover and animals love her back.
Katherine is a true animal lover. She understands the training and care of pets, and loves our pets like they are her own. I would entrust my dogs to Katherine without hesitation.
Bear had a wonderful stay with Katherine! She was thoughtful and thorough in both her approach and her care for him. I would ABSOLUTELY book Katherine again - Happy puppy!!!

Safety, trust & environment
I treat each animal like it’s my own. I have experience working in a vet office, and my love and respect for animals is something I was born with. I like to get an in-depth understanding of my clients’ pets from their owners, and use that info to treat each pet as an individual.
Home
Information Katherine V. would like to know about your pet
I need to know your pet’s temperament. Particularly for dogs— are there things or situations that trigger unwanted behaviors? Will I need to avoid other dogs on walks? Just the basics so I can be sure we are all happy and safe.
A typical day
I love to meet the animals where they are at— if a dog or cat just needs company, I can do that. If a pup needs a walk or jog, im happy to do that as well! I love to play and cuddle, if that’s what the pet likes. My goal is to make their day better, whatever that looks like for that individual pet.
