Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard for dogs, and plenty of toys to toss. I am very patient, and also playful with cats. I have 2 of my own, with very different personalities.

Information Kathy S. would like to know about your pet

The dog usually lets me know, but a heads-up about pace, (dawdler, tracker, etc.). Do they usually do their business on a regular basis - because some just don't. Are they playful, or shy, with new people?

A typical day

I like to stick to the route each dog is familiar with. There are always new and different smells to be checked out, even with a regular routine.

This was our first experience using Rover, and we couldn't be happier with Kathy's care. From the start, she made the process easy by suggesting a meet-and-greet with us and our cats, which we really appreciated. While we were away, Kathy took wonderful care of our cats and even kept an eye on our garden. She sent photos of the cats and left thoughtful updates after each visit, giving us peace of mind that everything was going well at home. We highly recommend Kathy and would happily book with her again!

We are so glad Kathy was available to take care of our kitties while we were out of town. She was very communicative and took excellent care of them. We would absolutely use her again and would highly recommend!

Our second time using Kathy and her reliability, amazing communication and thoughtfulness put our minds at ease knowing how well our cats and home were taken care of while we were away. We HIGHLY recommend Kathy and feel lucky to have found her :)

Thanks to Kathy as always- came through VERY last minute as I was suddenly scheduled for work travel, and she took great care of Temo! 5/5 recommended.

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.
