Loving & Experienced Animal Sitter!

Hi! I'm Katie, I am 27 years old and grew up in Long Valley, but now recently moved to Panther Valley with my husband and new baby girl! I have always been surrounded by dogs and cats and am a huge animal lover. I've been providing pet sitting services for friends of friends the past 7 years and active on Rover for 4 years. My experience has included walking, feeding, bathing, vet appointments and delivery of medications. As a new mom being able to care for animals in the area has given me the opportunity to be at home a little longer with my daughter while staying busy :) As an animal mom myself of 2 cats, I understand the worry of leaving your animals, especially with a stranger but can assure you that I will go above and beyond for you pets and treat them as my own :)

Safety, trust & environment

I grew up with both dogs and cats with varied personalities. I have cared for pets who need all the attention and love, while also giving those pets that like their alone time that as well. Making a pet comfortable is always important to me and I can assure you they will be in the best hands and will treat them like my own.

where do I even begin! Katie watched my 7 year old cane corso for me while I was on my yearly two week vacation and I can't say enough good things about my experience with her as a pet sitter, she updated me as often as I asked and kept my dog happy and fed, which is all a dog mom could ask for. She went above and beyond and even bought him a toy before my return because of how much she really connected with him. If you're a pet owner with anxiety about leaving your baby for an extended period of time or even just a short trip, Katie is the girl for you. She proves how much she cares by the love she gives to your animal and the time she takes to ask all the right questions. Thank you Katie!

Katie is an excellent cat sitter. She sent great photos of my cats each day. She fed them, played with them, and brushed them. I could tell by the photos that they looked forward to seeing her. I'm happy I found a reliable sitter who lives nearby. I highly recommend Katie to look after and care for your pets.

Katie B. did a great job caring for our two dogs and an elderly cat for ten days. We were happy to come home to a clean house and healthy pets. Will definitely rebook.

Katie took care of my two cats and a husky and did an incredible job. The animals were very well taken care of. Katie followed the instructions of the feeding schedule and the walks, so that gave me a peace of mind that the animals are in good hands. I also came back to a clean house after 2 weeks of being away! I will ask Katie to watch my animals in the future, for sure!

Katie has been my go-to dog sitter since my dogs were puppies. She is so attentive and really puts them first. My dogs get so excited when she comes over and they are completely comfortable with her. She always takes them on walks, checks in on them more than I’ve ever asked, and really spends quality time with them. I would recommend her 10/10 times and completely trust her to take such good care of your pets!

Schedule

I have spent the last 4 years managing a restaurant in Madison, NJ but had my daughter a few months ago and with my maternity leave just ending, this gives me an opportunity to stay at home with her a bit longer, which means I have a very open and flexible schedule! If I am caring for a pet, I always put the animal's needs as my top priority and want them to feel as comfortable as possible in my care.

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, or quirks about them! I want to be able to provide the best service for them by understanding how they are! If they have any behavior issues please inform me as well :)
