Pet care experience
We make our Rover business a family affair. My husband, Jason, and I share the responsibilities of caring for each of our guest dogs. Between the 2 of us, we have decades of experience caring for dogs. Jason enjoys taking dogs on walks and hikes, and often does work with gentle training when he sees a need (leash training, for example). I am with the dogs most of the day, so I attend to their potty breaks and give them lots of attention. Our kids (ages 4-13) have been taught to be gentle and loving to their own dogs, so they treat our guest dogs the same and enjoy playing with them and petting them. We have a large, fenced backyard providing ample room to run and play. We work to ensure that each dog that stays with us is comfortable, safe, and loved and that all comes pretty naturally for us, because we love dogs!
Reviews
CJ loves going to Katie's house! He and their puppy have become best buddies, and he is always treated so well. So great to work with!
Mack loves Katie and her family. He misses them when he comes back home. There is no better feeling than knowing our family member is loved and cared for 🥰
Katie was a great sitter for our dog. Great communication—she sent photos and updates, and was awesome to rearrange the dates when we needed to adjust. Will definitely book again! Thanks!
Another great stay with Katie and family!! Our flight home got canceled so we needed CJ to stay an extra day last minute unexpectedly and they were so kind and accommodating!

Safety, trust & environment
During the day, my pets spend time both inside and outside, depending on their preferences and needs. We have a large backyard with a fence for outside playtime. At bedtime, we try to stick with what our guest doggies are used to, so that they feel safe and comfortable.

Information Katie A. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special health needs, where they prefer to sleep, and any behaviors I should watch for so that we can have the best experience possible. We also like to make sure your dog is gentle with young children and strangers (our kids often have friends come play). Keep in mind that we do have 3 dogs of our own, so if your dog needs a slow introduction to them, we would like to know that and we are happy to accommodate.
A typical day
My husband enjoys taking our guest dogs on hikes up the nearby Grove Creek Canyon as well as long walks around the neighborhood or around Discovery Park. I love to let the dogs out in our big backyard to run around and play fetch. I also like to spend time with them inside giving them lots of love and petting. We also sometimes take our guest dogs on adventures up Provo Canyon or other mountain areas.

Availability
I am home most of the day every day of the week, so I care for my pets and yours throughout the day for meals, potty breaks, and playtime. My husband, Jason, works primarily at home, so he also cares for the dogs intermittently throughout the day and loves taking guest dogs on walks or hikes in the morning, lunchtime, or evening.
