Dog and cat mom with experience

Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm a recent Cal grad, and missing the dogs that I grew up with. I've had dogs almost all my life, and started taking care of them as early as I can remember, at age 6. I feel an immediate friendship with every dog I meet, and have an easy time bonding even with skiddish pups. I'd love to meet all of your four legged family members, and make sure they are well taken care of while you are away. Over the course of my life I've had 10 dogs between two households, and they were all different breeds, large and small. This has given me experience walking multiple dogs, bathing them, administering medicine, and overall providing lots of love. I have been dog sitting for many friends since I was a teenager. As a volunteer at a local dog shelter a couple years ago, I also became more comfortable around dogs of all personality types, and making even aggressive dogs feel at ease. I'm more recently a cat mom too, and would also love to take care of your feline family members! I have a cat at home, and she isn't as fond of dogs as I am, so daycare at my house is difficult. However, I can sit during the day at your house- let me know what you need and we can talk about daycare rates!

We left our dogs, Bo and Jenny, in Katie's care for nine days and everything went great. She took wonderful care of Bo and Jenny and sent us daily updates, including some cute pictures. We could tell Bo and Jenny were being well taken care of and that gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our visit with our family on the East Coast. When we got home Bo and Jenny as well as our house were all in good shape, which is exactly what we hoped for when we decided to have a pet sitter through Rover.com.

We found Katie to be kind, responsible and super communicative. She took care of our home and our two pets, one cat and one dog, for a week. We were happy to find someone who can bond with and appreciate both cats and dogs. Through no fault of her own, there was a small crisis with our dog. But Katie alerted us right away and was caring and resourceful until it was resolved. We would definitely hire her again.

Katie is a great dog sitter. She knows and loves dogs, is very personable and responsible, and really connected with our five month old labradoodle.
