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.

Information Kathryn R. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

I’m open to activities that the owner describes as enjoyable to the pet, but I’m very good at fetch, tug, and following any training or other protocols the owner asks me to do.

Trustworthy, kind, capable pet care

Pet care experience

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!

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

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.
