Katie was a phenomenal care giver for our two small dogs. This was the first time we left them home with care instead of boarding. Katie was attentive, sent pics and updates, played games with them, and took them on walks. We were able to really enjoy our trip, and the kids felt good knowing that they could ask for a picture or an update, and we would get one! Thank you, Katie, for your excellent care!

Katie was great at communicating during our trip, asked questions, and sent photos. She left the house in great shape and gave lots of love to my 2 dogs and cat. She has a calm demeanor and my sometimes uptight Aussie took to her right away. I highly recommend Katie and will book her again.

Katie was an amazing house and pet sitter! She was very understanding and flexible with our schedule changes. Her photos and video were very helpful. I felt very comfortable knowing she was there watching our 4 legged babies😃 Hi highly recommend Katie and plan on utilizing her services again in the future!

Katie was great with our Morkie. We received daily photos and updates, and Macy was relaxed and happy when we came home. Highly recommend and we'll definitely be asking Katie to sit with Macy again.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a trustworthy, loving environment where they feel comfortable and secure. With experience handling various breeds and administering medication, you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is in caring hands!

Pets

A typical day

I love keeping pets active and engaged! Depending on their needs, I’ll take them on walks, play fetch, enjoy tug-of-war, or have fun with their favorite toys. For pups who love mental stimulation, I can incorporate puzzle games or basic training reinforcement. Whether it’s playtime, belly rubs, or just some cozy companionship, I’ll make sure they feel happy and loved!

I want to provide the best care possible, so it’s helpful to know your pet’s routine, temperament, and any special needs. Please share details about their feeding schedule, medication requirements, energy level, and any quirks or triggers (like fears or reactivity). Let me know how they interact with other pets and people, as well as any training cues they follow. The more I know, the better I can tailor my care to keep them happy and comfortable
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.
