Pet care experience

New to Rover! Experienced sitter!

I’m new to rover, but have lots of pet experience!! My rates are reduced due to a lack of reviews, but not a lack of experience. I grew up with cats and chickens, and have been taking care of cats and dogs since I was 16! Recently I have been volunteering biweekly at a farm, taking care of horses and cats. I love animals of all sizes, and have house sat for small and medium sized dogs, cats, chickens, and guinea pigs!

Safety, trust & environment

I am able to meet your pets at their home, making sure they stay safe and calm meeting a new person in an environment they’re already comfortable with! We’d follow typical schedules, visit typical routes for walks, and make sure they stay as calm as possible by maintaining stability and reducing the stress of new introductions.

Kathleen was exceptional! She watched our cat for an extended time while we were traveling and was super communicative, took steps to keep our kitty cool during a heat wave, and spent lots of quality time with him. I felt he was well taken care of and will be booking her again!

Kathleen did a great job with house sitting for our dog. She was communicative and sent us a lot of updates that made us feel good about our dog while we were traveling

Kathleen really is the best! I’d give her 6/5 stars if I could. She was not only timely with the girls’ schedule, she sent us updates everyday along with pictures of them. We could tell how much she cared for the girls and we can’t thank her enough. Our cat was dealing with some vomiting issues, but Kathleen was on top of keeping us updated and making sure she was doing ok. We can’t recommend her enough!

Kathleen was absolutely fantastic with Biscuit, super attentive to his needs and played with him so much!!! She sent tons of pictures and updates! A package was even delivered to my door that wasn't mine and she took the initiative to find the correct owner and get it to her--so above and beyond! I'd recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a sitter with attention to detail, great communication, and a great connection with animals! Thank you Kathleen!!!

Schedule

My calendar is the most accurate and up to date version of my hours! *** Until August 10th, I am unable to care for pets after 10am on Sundays. *** I work a 8-5 in-person on Monday-Thursday. However, I WFH on Fridays, and have full availability almost every weekend (from Thursday at 6pm onwards) to housesit for your pets!! I very rarely can accommodate overnight stays on Monday-Thursday for pets that need regular potty breaks or constant care during the day. During the week, I am available to check on pets and go on walks in the mornings (before 7:30am) and evenings (after 5pm). On Fridays and weekends, I have full availability and can meet your pet whenever works best for them! I cannot visit pets around lunchtime or during the day from Monday - Thursday.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Kathleen can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Please let me know how long your pet can be left alone for, as well as their schedule, any dietary restrictions, how they do with other animals/humans, and quirks!! To provide the best possible care for your pets, I’d love to know as much about them as possible, including specific meal times, sleep/wake times, and instructions for when/where they can leave the house.
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.
