Safety, trust & environment

I am a longtime pet owner and caretaker with experience working with cats, dogs of all sizes, and even pets with significant medical needs. I can come to your home to feed, walk, or care for your furry family member. As an active person, who walks 5-7 miles most days, I am happy to take even the most energetic dogs on walks or play with your pet while you are away.

Information Kathleen S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs I can accommodate. I’m experienced administering oral medication to dogs and cats and am happy to work with any physical needs to keep your pet safe and well.

A typical day

I love engaging pets physically and mentally. I’ll take your dog on walks to one of several nearby parks to smell and see new sights. I’ll also play with your cats or dogs to keep them active and enjoying life while you’re away.

Responsible animal lover

Pet care experience

I live in the Gaslight District of Clifton, in a cat-only home. I have been a cat owner on and off for 20 years and have cared for neighbors' dogs and cats for nearly as long. Whether it's a Russian Blue or Siamese, Irish Wolf Hound or Pug, I love getting to know and work with animals. (I even spent 5 summers volunteering as a teacher's aid at the Cincinnati Zoo!) I would love to meet your furry family member, and I welcome the chance to walk your dog or care for your pets while you’re away.

Our pets have gotten the pleasure of hanging out with Katie a few times now, and they are always so well taken care of. She is very clear and is a great communicator. Katie sends us photos and updates on a daily basis which we always appreciate. Our dogs miss her already!

She was fantastic. She walked my girl, sent me pictures and loved on her. She was amazing I felt so good knowing Rayna Girl was in good hands!

Katie was an excellent sitter! She took care of Wilson like it was her own dog. She gave daily updates and pictures and made sure he was happy. Highly recommend Katie for any pet sitting needs! We loved having her.

This was the second time Kathleen looks after my kitties, and everything went just as smoothly as before. My cats was well cared for, and I felt completely at ease the entire time.

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.
