Pet care experience

I love all kinds of pets!

Hello! I'm Katie! I've been caring for animals for as long as I've been able to, ranging from cats and dogs to guinea pigs, livestock, reptiles, aquatics, invertebrates, and more! Nowadays I am a hobbyist gecko breeder and have a managerie of different reptiles as well as two beloved cats. Why choose me? Experience: I'm comfortable and have experience and love for all sorts of cats and dogs, big and small, regardless of age and breed. I have experience walking dogs that are large and/or reactive, positive reinforcement training, administering oral medication and more. Value: I charge one flat rate for my time, with no extra fees for walks, additional animals or bookings over holidays! Passion: I genuinely love animals and doing this job, and I'm excited to have the chance help you and your pets! Ask me about day sitting/multi hour drop ins or combining drop ins with walks! :)

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and your pet's comfort are my number one priority. I aim to tailor my care to each individual pet so that their routine isn't disrupted. I love to send plenty of photos as well! Rover cards will include a summary of what my time with your pet(s) looked like.

Katie was amazing! So thorough in her notes for all the animals and sent plenty of pictures— I was happy to know they were in good hands. I was also so grateful for her flexibility in taking a booking last-minute!

It is such a relief to have good, reliable pet care! Thank you Kathryn! My shy kitties warmed right up to her. I am booking all my future trips with Kathryn!

Every pet is different, so any information you can give me will help me cater to your pet's needs. Are they shy, food motivated, or have any quirks I should know about? Things like attention/petting preferences, daily routine, and favorite toys all help me provide the best experience. If your dog is scared of certain things or doesn't get along with certain types of people or other dogs, a heads up would be much appreciated too!
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.
