Taking good care of your fur family

Pet care experience

**If this is your first time booking a service on Rover (not necessarily with me, but with anyone), you can use this promo code for $20 off your first booking on Rover :) KATIEW07254, https://www.rover.com/sit/katiew07254 ** Hello! I've had a love for animals ever since I was a little kid. Growing up, I had two border collies, a cat, and more gerbils than any normal person probably should own. In college, my (now husband) and I adopted a Pygmy African hedgehog. We named him Archie. He was our lil bud through college and graduation, my first job, moving back home, getting married - our first apartment and eventually when we bought our house. We have a 5 year old Corgi named Piper (she's the alpha for sure), and a 6 year old Australian Shepherd named Loki. They are polar opposites but love each other so so much and always are together - playing, sleeping, rolling in the grass, etc. Additionally, I previously did Rover Boarding a few years back. We closed our account as we found it made our two dogs uncomfortable to have new dogs come into our home and stay for short periods. Our house is also our dogs home, so we didn't want to cause any stress on our dogs or any visiting dogs. With that said, I can offer drop ins to your home, house sitting, etc. I just will not be reactivating boarding. Over the times I did Rover boarding, I had experience with younger dogs, nervous or anxious pups, older dogs that may need extra assistance, wild & rowdy playful pups, those that want belly rubs or their ball thrown nonstop, etc. I am more than happy to follow any requests or preferences you have - I've seen it all. I even had one person who said their dog liked to drink from the bathtub faucet and that I should turn it on at a certain time as that was their routine. I was more than happy to send them back pics and videos of their pup treating it like an indoor hose. It was too funny and I know it made the owners happy to see their fur family comfortable in their environment and routine.

Katie and Chase, were great! They loved our pup so well and we know she had a great time. They sent us multiple updates with pictures throughout the day! We will definitely be using them again!

This is the 3rd time I've left my Border Collie with Katie and Chase. As soon as I pulled up to their house my dog got super excited and was so happy to visit. It is such a please and relief knowing that my dog loves going there and that both Katie and Chase take such good care of him. I recommend them as your go to dog sitter!

Once again Katie and Chase did a great job with my Indy! I got daily updates on how he was doing and it looked like he had a super time!

After 7 years of working for my employer, I was unfortunately let go in the latest round of mass layoffs. While I take time for myself to relax and reset before deciding what is next for me, I would love to do Rover as a way to make a little extra $ and love on some pups in the meantime. I am available any day and can give my full attention. I do have a trip coming up mid June through early July, but other than that, my schedule is wide open!
