Safety, trust & environment

I’ve been doing this for a long time and one thing I know is to go by the comfort level of the pets. Lots of times I’ve worked with rescue dogs who have a hard time meeting new people. In cases like those I follow the dogs lead. I am in their space, therefore trust must be built, some more slowly but in the end, I aim to keep everyone safe and happy.

Information Katie B. would like to know about your pet

Any medication the animal needs. Any places I should not take the animal. Dos and don’t s, or any special quirks the animal(s) have. Any allergies that the animal may have.

A typical day

I can take your dog to dog parks that they are used to. I love long walks and can do as many as 3 in one day along with plenty of playtime in the backyard or indoors.

Pet care experience

Hi there my name is Katie and I’ve been pet sitting/ housesitting for about 8 years now. I love what I do and I go above and beyond when it comes to taking care of your pet(s) and home. Not only do I provide top quality care and lots of cuddles and love for your pet(s) but I also bring in packages and mail, do walks, water any plants, take trash and recycle out to the curb, give plenty of updates with pictures if requested, and finally I will leave your home better, than when I first arrived. Im still available for housesitting this Christmas and I’m still available for housecalls so I would reach out soon to make sure that your home base is covered while you are away! Thank you to everyone ☺️

Katie was very professional, and we felt completely at ease with her housesitting our 6 yr old Labrador while we were overseas for 9 days. She also asked good questions for clarity, which we appreciated. In addition, Katie coordinates with a Rover colleague to ensure that our pooch was always well looked after. We loved the photos and daily updates, and coming home to a spotless home. Charlie was clearly happy, relaxed and healthy. We would absolutely have Katie stay with our Charlie again!

Highly recommend Katie to watch your pups and your home. This is the second time Katie has helped us out. Our pups seemed so happy and relaxed when we came home, plus it's nice to come home to a clean home. Thank you 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.
