Dogs would say I'm PAW-SOME

Pet care experience

I've grown up with dogs my whole life and have a deep love for animals. I'm active and enjoy the outdoors, and look forward to enjoying them with any pets that I take care of. I've been dogsitting for several years now through and outside of rover. I took some time off during the pandemic and mainly sit for friends/family - looking to get regular clients since I recently moved back to Florida!

Katie was great! We left for a long weekend and she kept us updated with texts and photos our pets! Definitely would recommend her to anyone and we will definitely be using her again!

Katie was excellent! She was very responsive and updated us on Rosie’s well-being. We came back to find our house just as we had left it. Thanks, Katie!

2nd time I have asked Katie to watch Paris. She is flexible, Paris always seems happy yo see her and she make it easy on me. Really a gem of a sitter.

Katie was great. She stayed in our house with our little girl, Tess(16 y/o chihuahua), for 5 days. I was concerned being away from Tess, but Katie was very quick to respond to my texts when I asked how things were going. We came home to a clean house and a relaxed and happy doggie :) I would definitely book with Katie again!

Information Katie D. would like to know about your pet

Any behavioral issues I should be aware of (how they are on a leash, how they behave around other dogs and people, potty training/issues, chewing things, etc.) Any medications that need to be taken. Feeding schedule. How active your dog is.

A typical day

I try to walk at least 5 miles a day. That can be with your dog or only partly - depending on how active they are! Happy to take them on adventures if you’re comfortable with that or stick to your neighborhood. Also love cuddles on the couch!
