Pet care experience
I grew up with a lot of pets and even studied herpetology (reptiles and amphibians) while in high school! I love animals and nature. I've been dog sitting for about 8 years and joined as a Rover pet sitter 6 years ago. I have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and ages, and have worked with many different breeds. I am eager to care for your special needs pets as well! I am willing to work with you to help provide your pets with a caring and fun experience! I respond quickly, I'm organized, responsible, and I have a flexible schedule because I work from home. Please consider me as a play pal for your pets so that you can feel worry- free while you're away!
Reviews
Katie was amazing! We had Katie take care of our Husky for over and week while we were visiting family. Katie was kind, considerate, and engaged with making our dog feel comfortable. Katie kept us informed and asked questions to ensure she understood our needs and our dogs needs.
While KJ did take good care of my two cats, I am very disturbed and disappointed with how she took care of my two bunnies. I left thorough instructions and was always available by text, but I came home to find the bunnies living in a very dirty room. There was litter, hay, and poop everywhere, with hay dust on my bunnies as well, which could be dangerous to their respiratory system. I wish I could attach pictures of their living space because it was horrendous. I spent two hours cleaning the room up the night I got back from vacation. I don’t know how anyone would let any pet live like that for a whole week. There was minimal communication with late responses to any messages I sent. I didn’t want to be overbearing and looked past that, but now I regret looking past the red flags. I blindly trusted KJ because of the good reviews she had, but it was a horrible mistake.
Katie was absolutely terrific! She took care of my small Maltese and my cockatiel while I was away. My dog , Moxie, took to her right away on the "meet and greet" and she was very gentle and loving with both pets. Both Moxie and Tutti were relaxed and calm when I returned home. The house was spotless. I will be happy to request Katie again!
I came home to two very relaxed and very happy boys!! Katie did a wonderful job taking care of my cats. She gave them a lot of care and attention and was good at keeping me updated. Would love to have her care for Simon & Garfunkel again ☺️

I love to play with dogs! Fetch and tug of war are my favorites, but I enjoy walks too. I love lazy and cuddly pets as much as I love playful ones! I try to adapt to anything the dogs love and are used to.
