Information Kathryn R. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know any quirks your pet may have (e.g., if sirens trigger a flight response, zoomies lead to aggression, certain areas of the home tend to be an 'accident' spot, or children cause anxiety). Not sharing this information can create unsafe situations for your pet, so please be thorough with any important details!

A typical day

I prioritize physical activity to get your pups' energy moving (if that's their speed!), as well as brain games to keep that cognitive functioning going. Treat hide and seek is a fan fave during my caregiving time! For cat care, I know they tend to dicate what they want, and how. So, if it's cuddle time, they got it; play time, definitely got it; and "leave me a alone time," I will oblige, as well. :)

WFH Sitter to Support Your Pet!

Pet care experience

With 10+ years of experience caring for all types of pups & cats — senior, special needs, anxious, and newborn/infant —I understand the importance of finding a sitter who makes your pet feel comfortable and secure. I provide individualized care to ensure they feel stress-free, so that your time away is equally stress-free! Here’s what sets me apart from other sitters: ~ As a full-time remote worker, I’m home a substantial portion of the day; perfect for pets with separation anxiety, medical needs, or higher bathroom demands! ~ I only accept one (1) Rover reservation at a time and don't split my caregiving time with other Rover bookings. Your pet gets 100% of my attention! ~ Your home is your haven, and I treat it as such. I'm a fully solo sitter, so you don't have to worry about uninvited guests affecting your pet or your home! ~ I prioritize your pet's routine, so you return home to a calm household! Any specific needs or structure your pet has, I'm all ears. ~ I am clean, organized, and responsible, and will leave your home better than I found it. :)

Kathryn was an excellent pet and house sitter during our recent vacation. It gave us such peace of mind having her look after our dog and two cats while we were away. She communicated regularly and was quick to respond if we had any questions. She went above and beyond in many ways - taking our pup to the dog park, communicating with a repair person when our HVAC went out on our first day of traveling, and we came home to a house cleaned and refreshed - to name a few. If you’re looking for someone who is going to give your animals lots of love and attention while you’re away, Kathryn is the one. I highly recommend her and will definitely request her to house sit for us in the future.

Kathryn was amazing! She watched our dog, Jerry, for 3 nights while we were at a wedding. She was communicative, thorough, and thoughtful. She took Jerry on nice long walks and gave him outside time in our backyard along with following his normal routine. Not only did she take great care of Jerry, she even washed our laundry and picked up our house a little. It was SO nice to come home to after a long day of driving.

Kathryn is so great with our two dogs, especially with our older guy who needs medicine and some extra help to get around. She is super responsive and keeps our minds at ease while we're away.

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.
