Safety, trust & environment

I cannot board animals (because my cat is strictly an only child), but I can come to you. I am happy to spend a couple hours at a time at your residence with your pet. Additionally, please understand that I will not take bookings involving 2+ pets who must be kept apart at all times.

Information Katie B. would like to know about your pet

I always prefer to do a meet the pets before the actual appointments. During that time, I always ask the following questions: -Does your pet have any medical issues? -Do they have separation anxiety? (This can manifest as vomiting, refusing to eat, missing the litter box, destroying furniture, etc.) -How much food do they get? -Where is the food bowl, food stash, and water bowl located? -Do they have a favorite toy? -(For cats and small dogs) Do they like to be picked up? -Are they allowed on the furniture? -Do they have any favorite hiding spots? -How will I get into the house/apartment? Do you have a key, door code, etc.? -What is your wifi password (so I can access Rover during the visit to give you updates)?

A typical day

For cats and dogs, I try to engage them in play and exercise. I also make sure they receive plenty of cuddles, and send lots of pictures to their owners so everyone feels comfortable.

Pet care experience

I have detailed experience looking after cats, dogs, and other small animals of any temperament. I can care for senior animals who require medication, little ones who need a watchful eye, and everything in between. I have owned cats, rabbits, snakes, fish, and one frog. Pet size is not an issue.

Katie was great, she went above and beyond to get to know our dog and how to best meet his needs. She was attentive and kind, we will be asking her to sit for us again!

Katie did a great job caring for our three cats! She was communicative and got our two shy cats to say hello which is a feat. Highly recommend!

Katie is excellent! We highly recommend her to anyone needing their pets to be taken care of. We received detailed notes after every visit, photos, and funny tidbits about our pets while under her care. We will be repeat customers in the future.

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.
