Pet care experience

Trustworthy, kind, capable pet care

I’ve owned, rescued, and trained dogs my entire life, and have good instincts in regard to working with them. I have worked in veterinary care as well, so I’m capable of providing any level of home care your furry family member requires. I am also honest and kind, so your home and your pets are both safe in my care. I look forward to working with you and your pets!

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to let the owner show me how they care for their animals, so that I may replicate that as much as possible to reduce the stress of the pet. In my home I have six dogs, so I know how important it is to have watch every individual closely and get to know each pet on their own terms.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE ROVER!!! Kadie really cares about the animals she meets and takes care of. My dog had a lot of special needs and Kadie was so good at communicating on her current status and going the extra mile to make sure she was comfortable. I could not have asked for a better person to check in on my ol’ girl. Thank you!

Kathryn is a great listener and really took the time to understand what was needed. She was very loving with our dogs. She was as also very punctual. I would use her again

Absolutely INCREDIBLE dog-sitting experience! Katy was amazing with our big old dog, and went above and beyond what we asked for during her visits. We've never seen our dog more relaxed and well-cared for after coming home from a trip, and we'll definitely be reaching out to Katy again the next time we need a dog sitter.

I’ll need to know about any special needs, fears, or other factors that could influence the stress or health of the pet while they are in my 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.
