Highlights

Kathryn has Star Sitter status!
Enhanced background check

Pet care experience

I’ll make your pets #1 paw-ority!

**Unfortunately, I do not watch dogs** **Because I am responsible for the safety of your pet for the duration of my visit, I will not accept bookings that are every other day. There must be at least 1 30-minute visit per day** I have two cats of my own. One of them is a former outdoor cat and is quite the runner! She always sits by my front door and tries to get out, so I have become very well experienced in keeping cats inside and being extremely careful when opening/closing doors. I’ve had my profile since November 2022 and not once has a cat gotten outside! I am most comfortable watching cats, but I would certainly be open to caring for other small mammals like rabbits, hamsters, chinchillas…etc.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I do not watch pets in my own home, only drop-in visits. I know the importance of keeping a safe environment for pets (e.g., carefully opening and closing door) and keeping away harmful materials (e.g., my cat eats plastic, so I cannot have any in my house). Your pets are safe with me!

This was our first time booking Kathryn. She is thorough, thoughtful, and has a system down for providing good care. She knows cats and we trusted her to take care of our two kitties for a week while we were gone. We’ll definitely be working with her again.

I had an amazing experience with Kathryn! This was the first time I’d ever left my cat alone for more than a day or two, so I was pretty anxious going into the trip. She immediately put my mind at ease with her updates, photos, and great communication throughout each visit. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about Lily and took the time to make sure she was comfortable and well cared for. She followed all of Lily’s care instructions perfectly, and I came home to a happy, relaxed cat. She even left cookies, which was such an incredibly kind and thoughtful surprise! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I’ll absolutely be booking with her again if I ever go on another trip.

Schedule

I am currently a graduate student at Miami University, so my schedule is flexible. I can come by in the mornings and evenings, but afternoons depend on my class schedule, so please inquire to learn more about my availability. Because I am a grad student and live full-time in Oxford, I am available during winter and summer breaks, too.

Cats
Kathryn can host up to 10 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your cat has any illness or disability that I need to take into consideration! I had an elderly cat, so I have experience dealing with that group.
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.
