Home away from home 🏡💕

Hi! I’m Kat, and I’m excited to begin offering dog boarding in my home again. I’m a lifelong animal lover with pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring when you have to leave your dog behind. While staying with me, your dog will be treated like part of the family. I provide plenty of attention, affection, playtime, potty breaks, and a comfortable place to relax. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding schedule, routines, and any special instructions so they can feel as comfortable and secure as possible. I’m patient and comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, whether they are playful and energetic, shy and nervous, or happiest cuddling on the couch. I will always take the time to learn about your dog’s needs, habits, temperament, and preferences before their stay. I know it can be stressful to leave your pet with someone new, so I’ll provide regular messages, pictures, and updates throughout their stay. My goal is for you to feel confident that your dog is safe, loved, and enjoying their own little vacation while you’re away. I look forward to welcoming your pup into my home!

Long overdue, but Kathryn was super helpful, communicative, and accommodating during her short time with my Shiba! Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly and being a great home away from home for her. :)

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or things I can help work on. I can help potty train and can help correct some behavioral problems. I can also administer oral medications and accommodate special diets.
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.
