Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Kate. I've been an animal lover since a child and have always gone above-and-beyond for dogs and cats especially. I was the kid bringing in strays and driving my parents crazy. Now that I'm an adult, I've been able to turn this softhearted hobby into a way to help out people and fur babies simultaneously. I've been on Rover for about 7 years now, and I love it! I can be active, I can be lazy... whatever suits your pet's style! What I Offer: - Personalized care (I only book 1 client at a time) -24/7 care availability (I work from home and can plan my day around your fur baby) -Private acreage -10+ years of experience I have plenty of room in my home and outside. Over 12 private acres to explore! I also am experienced at staying in the owner's home as well if that works best. I do not mind doing so if that is the better option. I do expect a clean and safe environment and require a meet & greet in your home prior. I can also do home tasks while you're away: watering plants, getting mail, trash, etc. Communication is key, I can send you check-ins or updates as frequently as needed/wanted. I understand this is a best friend or family member to you: they will receive the best and kindest care. Let me know what you and your fur babies need and expect, and I'll do my best to exceed expectations! I hope to hear from you soon.

We had a great experience with Katie! She was conscientious and professional and took the time to understand what our dog needed. She established a rapport with us and our dog and we felt comfortable right away. We will definitely use Katie in the future!

Katie was great with my dogs. I’m always worried about my higher energy dog being a little chaotic, but she did great with both my girls even for the short time I had them watched. Definitely recommend her!

Information Katie A. would like to know about your pet

I like to dive into daily routines, so as much information you can give on that is perfect! Also, I like to know how they get along with others (humans and other animals) and any other outliers that may require special care and attention like medications and allergies.

A typical day

Everything and well... everything: walks, runs, hikes, naps, snuggles, training, going to the park, fetch, tug of war, chase, treats, hugs, whatever is needed to keep your baby happy!
