Pet care experience

Fur family

My first experience with dogs was 5 years ago. My brother in law could no longer care for his dog who was 10 at the time and my fiancé and I took him in. He made me fall in love with dogs (I’ve only had cats before) and now we own 2 pups (sisters) and I couldn’t imagine my life without dogs now.

Katie was absolutely wonderful! She came to meet us and Hudson before our booking which made us feel much more comfortable. She took great care of Hudson- took him out and fed him all his meals with picture updates. Will definitely book again :)

We were in a pinch last minute and needed someone the next day for the dogs. Katie and her fiancé came over the night we reached out to meet our dogs there is two and they are full of energy one is usually very skeptical of new people but both of the dogs instantly loved them and Katie and her fiancé handled them so well you can tell they really care about your pups. I would highly reccomend and be using them again

I am writing this as a testimonial to my best friend, Katie DeSantis, as a candidate for caring for pets through Rover. Katie has been my best friend for over 20 years and has the kindness, compassion and sense of sense of responsibility I would hope someone would have if I were to be trusting them to care for my pet. She is already a trusted pet sitter for many friends and family who have come back to her repeatedly as needed for vacations or other reasons they need help caring for their pets. Her yard is fenced in and home is safe for pets to stay. I would highly recommend her as a qualified and reliable pet sitter for your organizations. I am happy to answer and other questions you might have. Thank you for considering her.

Katie is the most loving pet parent I know. She is so thoughtful and loving when it comes to her dogs and her cat. They truly are part of the family. Along with making sure they are well cared for they also get tons of exercise, are well adjusted with others and others pets, they have good manners, etc. Katie has cared for and trained her animals to perfection and I have trusted her to care for mine many times before and wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Katie is the epitome of a dog person!

We have 3 Pets at home. 2 dogs and a cat. She loves to bring the dogs wherever she can so they can have the best time! She usually takes the dogs for 2 walks a day when she can. When she walks in the door all the animals are so very excited to see her. She always makes sure safety is paramount. Light up dog vests and reflective material for might walks to be sure they are extra visible. You can rest easy with your pets in Katie’s hands! I know I sure do.

Any special quirks would be appreciated since we have dogs of our own. If left alone we would keep our dogs and your pet separated even if they were compatible. This is for our dogs safety as well.
