Marlee’s Chaos

I have loved dogs ever since I was little. Always worked with my parents to care for their dogs until I got one of my own. She was the first dog I have fully raised from a baby and it was sure a rollercoaster. The bond I received from it is unimaginable! Marlee is my 1 year old german shepherd mix. She is a handful but is full of joy and happiness and that is all she has ever been for me. I care for all her daily needs myself every day like feeding as well as the “terrible” baths. The animals are always the top priority in my home. I always am focused on them as if they were my children. Toys will be available to chew on. Pets are taken out to the grass in front of my apartment. Marlee will always welcome new friends and has never had a bad interaction with any animal. She even kisses my guinea pig!

I can't say enough good things about Kathryn! This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous about leaving our Golden Retriever Molly. Kathryn set my mind at ease from the very first messages we exchanged. Her communication skills are excellent. Whenever I messaged her, she responded within a few minutes with a clear detailed response. At the meet and greet, she was great with Molly and listened closely to care instructions. On the day that we left for our vacation, Kathryn arrived at the agreed upon time. She sent a message and photos of Molly already snuggling with her on the couch. During our vacation she sent a message once every day with information about how Molly was doing and that she was eating well. With every message she also sent pictures. I don't know how, but my dog seemed to always be smiling and living her best life in the photos! Kathryn also took great care of our house while we were gone. She watered our plants and left our house clean. I would 100% use Kathryn as a sitter again!!!!

Kathryn was great! She communicated with us the entire time and sent pictures and updates. This was the first time we used this service and I’d absolutely recommend Kathryn to friends and our family, and would happily rebook with her should we need someone to watch our cat again.

I am so thankful for Kathryn! She did an amazing job with my anxious dog Jovi and sent daily updates and photos. Her flexibility around my travel plans relieved the stress I was feeling around leaving Jovi for a few days. Kathryn is awesome!

A typical day

I always enjoy taking my dog and the dogs I watch to the Penn Valley dog park. I go here around 7:30-8pm and normally the same people and dogs are presents so I can expect an enjoyable time every time I go. Marlee and I love our walks and always try to stroll around the apartment whenever convenient.

Let me know if the dog has any special needs ahead of time as well as if the dog is very vocal living in an apartment that sometimes can be a problem but I always try to accommodate for the dog. If the dog has any problems with accident in the house that is not a problem just let me know ahead of time so I can be aware and alert.
