Cat Lady Who Loves Watching Dogs

Pet care experience

I have been around animals since I was a kid. Currently I have two cats of my own, work with Rover frequently, and am a weekly dog sitter for a family friend. I have experience both boarding and house sitting while taking care of other’s animals.

Katie took wonderful care of my kitty while I was on vacation. I will most definitely be seeking her services the next time I go out of town.

Safety, trust & environment

My partner and I have a strong love for animals, especially our two cats. I am able to close off the basement for the cats to have their own space, but request that your dog does well with cats. I can promise your family a loving and safe environment for you to leave your dog while you are away. I promise to send pictures playing catch at the neighborhood park or walking the local trails as well to help give you peace of mind!!

Information Katie B. would like to know about your pet

I just like to know how they are with other animals, especially cats since I have two. I also need to know special instructions and if they require frequent potty breaks since I work away from home.

I work in an office close to home from 7am-4pm, however I do have a lunch break where I am able to swing home to let your dog out. My partner also only works three days a week so is home more often than not to help out! Additionally, my weekends are flexible so your pet will have lots of opportunities for cuddles, walks, adventures- whichever they prefer!
