Pet care experience

Tell your dog (or cat) I say hi!

Hey! My name is Kathryn/Kate and I am restarting my rover services in the upstate NY region after a brief pause to work in corporate. I have been an animal lover since birth essentially. I’d be more than happy to take care of your pets! I am responsible, I pick up after all dogs during our walks and think safety is the number one priority. Your dog is part of your family and you can be assured that I will treat them that way. I have had two black labs and currently have a 5 year old pittie mix and I also have experience with dogs of all sizes. I also have experience with administering medications with proper instruction from owner. Currently I have a 14 year old cat who I’ve had for 13 years and a 5 year old rescue pittie who I adopted last year. I am more than comfortable taking care of cats and litter boxes/play time. Message me if you need a last minute savior! I’d love to help.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I can easily care for your animals in their environments! Just let me know your walk schedule/ feeding schedule and I am happy to handle for you! Snuggle time and play time are super important too (for both them and me 😂). I clean up after pets, I have no problem bathing dogs and also I would have no problem cleaning up accidents or anything of the like. I also check in with owners and provide pictures and I am also responsive WHENEVER an owner reaches out to me with their pet in my care. Safety is of the utmost importance.

Cannot recommend Kathryn enough!! She was so warm and attentive to Jazzy, took so many adorable pics and sent updates throughout the night. Jazzy had the best time and was so well taken care of. Couldn't have asked for anything more!

Kate was incredible as always when sitting my puppy. She was super communicative and kept me up to date while my puppy wasn’t feeling so well this weekend. She took extra care of him which put my nerves at ease. Kate is hands down a phenomenal dog sitter.

Please let me know if your pet needs any medication in advance and dosage requirements! I would also ask that you provide Vet information as well just in case! I would ask that you give me an indication of what kind of personality they have so I can prepare for them in the best way!
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.
