Pet care experience

I'll treat your pets like family!

I have always had an innate love for animals! Starting at a young age I have always been around dogs, cats, and horses. I have trained many animals and am known among friends and family as the animal whisperer! I currently have two fur-babies, Blue and Barley. They are both spoiled rotten! Both are treated like family and have a pretty paw-some pet life! They both go pretty much everywhere with me and love people and other animals. They are full of energy and are provided play time, training, and multiple walks per day. Blue was rescued from a bad situation at a young age and is my little sweetie. Blue likes to talk (hunting breed, so he has that bay) and loves to play- he is also very good at moderating his play based on the size and energy level of his playmates. Barley came to us a very young age and has been worked with since day one. He is the friendliest gentleman and tends to go everywhere with us. He likes to hold your hand and cuddle and is basically like a little human! I truly care about animals and will go above and beyond to provide the best care to them. If your dogs are trusted with me, they will get nothing but the best!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have two very friendly dogs of my own- they love to play and are pretty good at adjusting their play behavior to their playmates. I’m happy to accommodate your pet's needs in any way I can. I want them to feel like you never left. I’m also happy to help with training, crate training, leash walking, etc. I often work with pet parents to make sure all behavior expected with them is reinforced during my visits. I like to learn what their day typically looks like and help to parallel that while you're away to limit their stress and anxiety.

Katie was great with my cats! Even my "shy girl" eventually came out of hiding to greet her when she arrived. Would definitely hire her again....and would recommend her to other animal lovers.

Schedule

My schedule is very flexible and I’m home a lot of the time. If your pet is here with us, we try to stay home as much as possible and offer frequent outside breaks, playtime, and cuddle time.

I'd like to know as much about him/her before sitting. Preferences, energy level, socialization level, triggers. Obviously feeding information and any medications. Most improtantly what their day-to-day looks like typically so that I may help make their time away from you as normal and seamless as possible.
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.
