Pet care experience

K-9 & K8

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 8 years now, and I love it! I can be active, I can be lazy... whatever suits your pet's style! What sets me apart: -Professional experience in daycare/boarding -Personalized care (I only book 1 client at a time) -Private acreage (if you live in the city and want to book a walk for you and your pup, I allow these bookings also) -8 years' experience on Rover I have plenty of room in my home and outside. Over 12 private acres to explore! 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.

Katie is a complete peach. I knew from the moment we met her that Wilson, who has very discerning taste, was going to love her. Katie is very good at communicating always replying quickly. If you ask Wilson if he loves Katie, he will howl. I am grateful we found her.

First time we left our dog overnight and all went well! Katie does a great job of giving us reports while we're gone and even more details upon our return. It's great to know our dog is getting such wonderful care while we're gone!

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!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

Please message to schedule accordingly with my schedule! The more notice the better. 😊 I do not do more than 1 booking at a time for boarding/daycare so my calendar can fill quickly.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I listen to owner's requests. I try to maintain a space similar to as if owners were present. Let me know what is needed and we're golden. I have experience with most breeds, giving medications, helping with training, puppies, and senior dogs.

A typical day

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

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.
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.
