Pet care experience

Loving and experienced caretaker

I have spent my life around animals, growing up on a horse farm and with many different animals in my childhood. As an adult, I spent my early 20s traveling around the world, living and working on farms and animal facilities, and providing house-sitting and animal care. Since I'm a nurse, I have quite a few days off throughout the week, which allows me a lot of flexibility to care for your pets. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, farm animals, small rodents (guinea pigs, hamsters etc.), and more. However, my main focus over the years have primarily been with dogs and cats. I'm also comfortable with all sorts of animals who might have training issues, fear, or other behavioral problems.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am comfortable providing any care that you might need within your home, whether that's a lot of exercise & playing, or sleeping like a couch potato, to using crates, or letting your pets sleep on couches / in beds. My ultimate goal is that your pet feels right at home with me, and that their care remains consistent and loving during your absence.

Katherine is a sweetheart. She's also very professional. My two young cats took to her right away. She spent time playing with them and sent us videos and cute photos. I forgot to tell her that one of the cats has periodic allergies, but she picked up on it the first day and kept me posted. I recommend Katherine 100%!

House Sitting • Dec 15, 2019

Katherine is an exceptional house/pet sitter. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and devotion to our fur kids was of the highest quality. She stayed in communication with us on a regular basis, eliminating the stress of leaving our dogs and house behind while we were on vacation. We loved the daily updates, photos and videos. Katherine gave our pugs their necessary medicine, plenty of exercise/walks, playtime and extra snuggles. When we returned home, she had the house neat and tidy. Above all, Katherine is kind and trustworthy, our dogs truly enjoyed her company.

Please always let me know if your pet requires any special medication, sleeping arrangement, exercise regimens or unusual potty breaks. It's also very helpful to know if your pet is fearful, anxious, or reactive, or has any tendencies to run away without recall. This helps me to be able to know how to provide the best care for your pet, and to discuss important details before any visit.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
