I grew up with two sweet dogs, Golden Retrievers named Buddy and Brinkley, that I helped my Aunt take care of their whole lives! I also help watch my brother's dog, a King Charles Cavalier named Wrigley, whenever they are in the area. I have been pet sitting since I was 16!

I genuinely cannot say enough good things about Katie. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would. This was our first time booking with Katie, and we reached out on extremely short notice because we unexpectedly had to leave town for a funeral. She was so gracious about accommodating us, and from the very first visit, I knew our dogs were in wonderful hands. Her communication was exceptional. I’m used to getting a photo and maybe a line or two from a sitter, but Katie sent us thoughtful, detailed updates after every visit. She told us what the dogs had been doing, how they were behaving, whether they were eating normally, and anything even slightly out of the ordinary. She noticed the little things. I never once had to wonder how they were doing. More importantly, it was incredibly obvious that she actually spent time with them. She played fetch with them, took them outside to run around, cuddled with them, paid attention to their individual personalities, and genuinely seemed to enjoy being with them. By the end of the week, I think they may have been a little disappointed that we came through the door instead of Katie. 😂 We came home to two incredibly happy, relaxed, well-cared-for dogs and a house that was just as tidy as we’d left it. During an already difficult and stressful trip, having someone I could completely trust with our dogs and our home was such a huge weight off my shoulders. Katie went above and beyond what I expected from a pet sitter, and “above and beyond” is not something I say lightly. She is thoughtful, observant, responsible, communicative, and clearly genuinely loves animals. She is an absolute gem, and I would recommend her without hesitation. We will 100% be booking her again. Hopefully next time I can have the courtesy to give her more than a few minutes’ notice! 😂❤️

My dog loved Katie. She took wonderful care of him and my home. This was my first time using Rover and I’m so pleased. I will definitely re book with her again for my next trip.

My experience with Katie was nothing short of excellent. All I needed was a simple dog walk a few times a week while I’m out at work (my fur baby gets cabin fever LOL🤣) Katie went above and beyond to make sure my sweet babies needs were met. Topping off food and water, providing treats, spending extra time to give some pets and love, and always making sure to give my little angel some play time along with her walks to make sure she stays enriched. Overall Katie always provided a 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ star service!!!

Katie is a kind, smart, caring and responsible pet sitter! She is great with animals and will make sure your fur baby is well taken care of while you are gone. She is consistent with her outreach and check-ins and very easy to work with. She is also extremely trustworthy and has had many years of childcare and pet care experience. I would highly recommend Katie for all of your pet-sitting needs!
