Pet care experience

Would love to love your pets 🐾💕

Hi neighbors! I’ve owned and cared for cats/dogs for most of my life, and treasure them dearly. This won’t just be a task or a job but I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of care and nurturing, as well as play and explore time. Every animal is different and has its own unique personality. I recognize that and want to make sure your pet is thoroughly tended to and loved while they are waiting for your return! I’ll make sure to heed any instructions and advice from the parent(s). Gentleness is important to me, and I want to give each animal time and affection in a delicate way. I hope to perhaps one day run my own rescue or animal sanctuary, but until then I hope to care for your pet! Also, I can provide different rates for 20 or 30 minute visits. Feel free to reach out and let me know what’s best for you! Looking forward to connecting with you. Thank you for trusting me with your fur child!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard that I allow my cats to venture out in. They’ve been “trained” to not leap the fence. I grew up with golden retriever who loved playing catch and going for long walks. I want to offer plenty of stimulation with play and affection, so they are not bored or lonely waiting for your return! Currently I can offer a maximum 2 night boarding. My cat isn’t too thrilled with new visitors but is not aggressive. It’s good for him to stretch himself but I still prefer not to stress him for too long haha If you are in a last minute bind for your dog or cat don’t hesitate to reach out! We’d be happy to care for your pet for a day or night or 2 if we’re able

Kathryn was great! I have a fussy cat that needs anti-anxiety meds and she was able to give him his meds while we were gone which was a great help for us. She is very communicative which made me feel like the cats were in good hands!

Another great experience with Kathryn caring for my kitty. My boy is normally very shy, but I can tell how much he has warmed up to Kathryn by the great photos she always sends! Highly recommend & I will definitely book again.

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Kathryn! She took fantastic care of Winnie, and it made our night to see Winnie having so much fun and playing with her. Kathryn made the entire process so easy and stressfree. We look forward to having her stay with Winnie again soon!

Kathryn took wonderful care of my cat. She is reliable, flexible and goes above & beyond all expectations. I especially appreciate the extra playtime & pets she gave my boy, plus all the photos she sent. I highly recommend!

Schedule

I currently work part time and often make my own schedule, so I can often fit both regular and last minute walks or visits! I also both drive and bike and enjoy adding walks to my routine.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs

41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Kathryn can host up to 10 drop-ins per day
I like to know where you typically take your pup for a walk, if there’s a specific route or the length of time. What games or activities they enjoy or find calming. If your dog has a bit of anxiety, it’s helpful to know so I can be more gentle than excited with them
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.
