Information Kathryn M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know how your fur baby thrives. Do you want them to engage with other animals or keep them on their own? What is their normal routine, so I can mirror it to the best of my ability. Do they have any allergies? Anything you can share will help ensure they are in the best of hands!!

A typical day

It's very important that I meet your animal's individual needs. Based on your requests, I can ensure walks, play time, alone time, down time and everything in between. If you're OK, I like to take them to the mall, around the lake, on local hikes and to the beaches with our fam whenever we go.

Pet care experience

Few people love animals as much as I do (I am constantly, endearingly, reminded that I'm the crazy dog/cat lady, lol)! I've had them my entire life and not only do I volunteer with a local rescue, but I hope to someday open my own ❤️ Until then, I've been actively pet-sitting for years, just now joining Rover. I guarantee walks and pics every day, am experienced with medication distribution, special diets and specialized needs such as high anxiety, aggressive, high energy and more. I live on 5 acres, have a fenced backyard, two extremely large dog runs and two outdoor kennels with attached dog houses, which we call our "doggy hotels", for lots of play and outdoor time (not for sleeping in...they sleep in the home 🥰), when weather permits. I've worked in the law enforcement family for the last 17 years and am now fortunate to work from home, so your pup will rarely be alone. Any questions? Please do not hesitate to ask!!

Katherine is always wonderful with my senior, very shy dog. She keeps her on her routine and makes sure she gets plenty of cuddles while we are away. I have full confidence in her excellent care.

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.
