Experienced Dog Lover

I have been taking care of cats & dogs since I was a kid and have been walking, boarding, sitting and fostering dogs for many years now! I am comfortable with all sizes, breeds and ages of dogs and have some experience in training as well! I have great patience for puppies, love a good couch snuggle and will take many photos of your fur baby. I treat each dog or pet as though they're my own, and take great pride in my services. I am currently working full time flexible hours remotely and have some free time during the day M-F, some evenings, and most weekends. I am currently not doing any in-home boardings but am happy to take on sits in your home, pop-ins for walking and playing or dog walks 30-60 minutes.

Katie is a great dog sitter. We've had her sit Nala before and will definitely again. We can always count on great communication, photo updates and a happy doggo.

Boarding • Aug 25, 2025

Katie was a wonderful sitter. She provided daily updates and pictures and was so accommodating and flexible when we dealt with travel delays coming home. Our pup seemed happy in all the pictures and was very comfortable in her home. She treated him as if he was her own and we are so appreciative of that. Will definitely hire her again to watch our pup in the future

Katie was amazing with my dog Bailey while I was on vacation. She came by every morning and took Bailey for a walk and made sure she had food and water. She was very conscious of the hot weather and made sure bailey did not over heat or be out too long. Bailey is very picky about the people she likes but she took to Katie right away. I will definitely be calling her again.

Katie is a lifesaver. Her calm, gentle demeanor and detailed communications put me at ease as a first-time Rover user. She listened carefully to my description of what my dog and I need, and she slid seamlessly into our routine. Most importantly, she clearly gets dogs and cares about their well-being, stimulation, exercise, and sense of contentment and fun. Highly recommend.

What can I say about Katie… the BEST. My family and I were in a tough spot and at the very last minute we asked her to come watch our puppy so we could have some much needed time with our kiddos outside of the house. Katie accepted our booking at the last minute and then was a complete pro at taking care of our little puppy girl. She exceeded expectations and we were so appreciative of her. Can’t thank her enough, can’t say enough good things. Kind, attentive, professional, amazing with dogs and with humans! She was a dream!

Schedule

My schedule fluctuates from week to week so advance notice is always helpful. Once I commit to a walk or boarding, you can count on me to be there!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Katie can host up to 1 drop-in per day
Its always helpful to know if they have any specific triggers or dislikes of other animals/people. I also like to know their routines and owner preferences for walks vs playing in their own yard !
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.
