Any medications? Any reactivity/triggers? Anything they are afraid of? Special feeding tips? Any issues with walking on a leash/being crated? Any favorite activities/toys? Affectionate/fearful, etc?

A typical day

Whether it’s tug of war, fetch, a long walk on the beach, the dog park, stimulation/engagement with cat toys, etc, your pet will have more than enough opportunity to let out some energy!

Pet care experience

In my 26 years of living, I have never not owned an animal of my own. Whether it’s a dog, Guinea pig, hamster, cat, or even a butterfly, I have deeply loved and cared for each and every one of my pets for the entirety of their little lives. As a current mom to 4 cats, I know how significant it is to find someone you trust to care for your fur babies while you’re away, and I would love nothing more than to be that for you and your 4-legged family member! I have experience in walking dogs, bathing dogs, house sitting for both dog/cats, caring for senior animals, preparing various food/meals, administering meds to dogs/cats, and so much more! Contact me today :)

Kathryn has become my go-to Rover — she is incredibly communicative, thoughtful and truly so helpful. My cat absolutely loves her and we do too!

Kathryn did an amazing job taking care of my cats. She followed all my instructions carefully and was incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire stay. She stayed in touch regularly and kept me updated on everything, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Very responsible and clearly cares about the pets. I would definitely consider her again the next time I need a sitter!

Kathryn was the absolute best sitter for our cat, Rick! She was communicative, professional, prompt and sent the best photos. She fed, played with Rick and changed his litter box. Could not recommend Kathryn enough, I will be reaching out again!

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.
