Pet care experience

I like animals more than humans

I love and enjoy animals especially dogs. I haven’t been able to have dogs of my own due to moving around a lot. I hope to just bring joy to the animals lives and provide the services you and your family may need. Feel free to text me for any questions you have. I have cared for German Shepards, pit bulls and lots of other mixes. I prefer to meet the animals beforehand so that we are both comfortable and able to work together. I will clean up after, feed and look after dogs (as well as cats) I just ask for a heads up of the pet is more aggressive or shy. I just want to help the animals and families that I can! Majority of my clients are not on Rover and are mostly word of mouth, but I currently serve 6 families on a regular and can get your more referrals if needed!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Prefer a fenced yard to let animals out but can use a leash if there is no fenced yard. I also just love to pet and cuddle them if they allow

Kat was amazing! She’s not only just a cool person, but our dogs took to her immediately. We appreciate the communication while we were away - including pics of the pups lounging the day away. I will definitely book her again in the future.

Booking with Kat was a great experience from start to end. Communication was super prompt, clear, and friendly. She asked thoughtful questions at the initial meet & greet, indicating that she has plenty of experience caring for lots of dogs with different needs and personality types. While I was away, she sent regular, detailed updates. I was able to feel comfortable and confident that Posey was very well cared-for during my trip. Kat will absolutely be my go-to sitter for overnight trips in the future!

Kat was Lexi’s sitter for a week. Everything went great. I had no concerns leaving Lexi with Kat & Lexi can be challenging! She also took care of my house. Peace of mind.

It was my first time using Kat’s services to watch our dog in our home. She was very friendly, communicative, punctual and clean. Coco took to her right away and that made me feel very comfortable that Coco was being well cared for while I was away. Thank you and I already have you booked for the future!

I would like to meet them and to know if they have separation anxiety, shyness, aggression, medications. Allergies, treats they like and how they are on a leash or around other animals
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.
