Welcome to Katie’s Kindred Spirits Pet Sitting! Thank you for considering me to care for your furry family member. I offer a safe, loving, dog-friendly apartment for boarding and welcome dogs up to 40 pounds. If you’re interested in house sitting or overnight care in your home, I do ask that your dog be friendly with other dogs. My sweet Dalmatian, Rosie, is exceptionally well-trained, gentle, and loves making new canine friends. She gets along wonderfully with every dog she meets, helping create a calm and positive environment for everyone. Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, you can expect dependable, compassionate care, plenty of love, and personalized attention. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a spacious, pet-friendly apartment conveniently located near several beautiful parks and walking trails, giving your dog plenty of opportunities for fun, exercise, and exploration. I also have a private terrace where we can relax together, soak up the sunshine, enjoy some fresh air, and unwind in a calm, comfortable setting. Whether we’re out on an adventure or simply enjoying a peaceful afternoon outside, your pup will receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship.

Information Katie A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know should your pet need anything special that I can help with. I help provide a safe relaxing and comfortable environment for Rosie and her friends with lots of positive energy and loving care.

A typical day

Every day is tailored to your dog’s personality, energy level, and routine, but here’s what a typical day looks like! The day starts with a morning potty break and a refreshing walk, followed by breakfast (if it’s their mealtime) and plenty of fresh water. After breakfast, we’ll enjoy playtime, cuddles, or quiet relaxation—whatever makes your pup happiest. Throughout the day, we’ll head out for stimulating walks to nearby parks, where your dog can safely explore new sights and smells. We’ll also spend time on my private terrace, enjoying fresh air, sunshine, and peaceful moments together. There are plenty of belly rubs, treats (with your permission), toys, enrichment activities, and nap breaks to keep your dog happy, comfortable, and relaxed. I’ll also provide regular potty breaks and lots of one-on-one attention so they always feel loved and secure. In the evening, we’ll wind down with another walk, dinner, cuddle time, and a calm, cozy environment before bedtime. My goal is for every dog to feel like they’re on their own little vacation while you’re away, surrounded by kindness, patience, and lots of love.

Pet care experience

I’m a devoted dog mom to my beautiful Dalmatian, Rosie, who has taught me just how much love, patience, and joy our pets bring into our lives. I’m nurturing, attentive, compassionate, and dependable, and I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. When your pet is in my care, they’ll be treated like one of my own—with plenty of affection, playtime, gentle attention, and personalized care. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your beloved companion is surrounded by kindness and cared for like family.

Katie has been a wonderful sitter for my cats! She was easy to reach and very responsive. She even agreed to an emergency visit when my cat toppled the water fountain over. I was able to enjoy our vacation with peace of mind knowing she’s looking after my babies :) Thank you, Katie!

Katie was excellent, extremely communicative and I felt super safe leaving my pets in her hands! I will definitely be re-booking in the future when we are in need of a rover! Thanks again Katie!!

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.
