Because I run my own design studio, I have the flexibility to schedule pet care in a way that works for both me and the pets I’m responsible for. I plan ahead for walks, feeding times, play, and overnight stays, ensuring your animals get consistent & quality attention :)

Information Katie C. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for new pets, I like to know their routine, and any special needs to make sure they feel comfortable. Details like feeding schedules walk preferences, and any quirks help me provide the best care! I’ve cared for animals with all types of personalities and needs so don’t be shy - the more I know the better i can endure a smooth experience for the pets and their parents!

A typical day

Every day looks a little different depending on the pets‘ needs, but I follow their usual routine whether that means multiple walks throughout the day, playtime, or just providing a calm and reassuring presence :) If they love to play, we’ll have fun with their favorite toys and if they prefer lounging and cuddles, i can provide that too!

Reliable, experienced pet sitter!

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for pets for over six years, beginning on the East Coast and continuing after moving to San Diego. Alongside running my own design studio, I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets the consistent care and attention they deserve. I’ve worked with a wide variety of animals and have long-term relationships with many of my clients, ensuring your pets are always in calm, capable, and caring hands!

Katie was fantastic! Quick responses, communicative, and took great care of both our pups and our house on relatively short notice. Would not hesitate to have her house sit again!

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.
