Availability

I work in an office close to home from 7am-4pm, however I do have a lunch break where I am able to swing home to let your dog out. Hayden only works three days a week so is home most days! Additionally, my weekends are flexible so your pet will have lots of opportunities for cuddles, walks, adventures- whichever they prefer!

Safety, trust & environment

My partner and I have a strong love for animals, especially our two cats and two dogs. I am able to close off the basement for our cats to have their own space, but request that your dog does well with cats. I can promise your family a loving and safe environment for you to leave your dog while you are away. I enjoy sending pictures playing catch at the neighborhood park or walking the local trails to help give you peace of mind and check in :)

Information Katie B. would like to know about your pet

We appreciate knowing your pet’s demeanor and how they do with other animals. It is also important to note any special requests for medication admin, food/potty schedule, bedtime routine, etc so we can figure out our work schedule!

A typical day

We live close to the trails and have a fenced in backyard so we spend a lot of time outdoors! We also enjoy photo shoots, basic training, and snuggles!

Pets

Two gals who love cats and dogs !

Pet care experience

Between the two of us, we are animal experts! We enjoy caring for animals and love it even more when they can spend time playing with ours! We have years of Rover experience and frequently pet sit for our friends and neighbors as well. Hayden is a nurse and is great at all healthcare needs. We also have had two puppies of our own in the past year, so can guarantee a safe and enriched environment for pets of all ages!

Katie is the best! Super friendly and genuinely cares about my girl. I received regular updates as usual. Daisy has stayed with Katie multiple times and I feel so secure leaving her there. I know she is loved and well taken care of!

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.
