Rover provider since 2017!

Pet care experience

I have worked in a doggy daycare before, I have experience training my own dog and others. I have been able to socialize long term clients aggressive dogs for them over time. I have been a provider on rover since 2017 and absolutely love what I do. Dogs bring me so much joy. I work from home m-f 8:30am-5pm, I’m happy to work from home in a clients house. Friday and Saturday nights I bartend from 10pm-2am but I am otherwise home all weekend. My own dog gets walked and run multiple times a day, and we love company! For high energy dogs I am willing to drive to state parks or beaches as my own dog requires a lot of exercise so I am used to it. I follow owners’ care guidelines and preferences to a tee. Pups will always have access to water and fun toys to play with as well.

I have never booked through Rover, but I am so happy I did. Katie was amazing. She took care and loved Thanos like he was her own dog. Thanos was exhausted when he got home. A testament to how much fun he had with Katie and Luna. I will sure be booking with Katie again. Thank you Katie for all the photos.

Katie was very conscientious and followed my pet's routines. My dog does not warm up to people easily but it was evident when I returned after 24 hours, that she had bonded with Katie. Katie is exactly what I was looking for , to dog sit my recently adopted senior dog with abandonment issues.

Katie exceeded my expectations in her first walks with my two boys. I arrived home shortly after her second walk and both dogs were very happy the puppy was tired which is great for me. She is a genuine dog lover. Looking forward to future bookings next week.

Katie loves playing with and taking care of dogs. She stops by my house sometimes just to ask to walk my dogs for me! Dogs just make her happy, and dogs love playing with her. Every time my dogs see her they almost jump the fence to meet her! Katie would be a perfect fit for watching any type of dog

Information Katie D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog is aggressive towards other dogs/humans so I can know if we will be able to accommodate you. It’s good to know their typical potty schedule as well as feeding schedule.

A typical day

Physical and mental stimulation are really important for our doggos! I like to integrate training with playtime. I also have some mental games for dogs to play with while I am tending to other tasks such as treat puzzles or dental chews (I won’t ever give your dog anything without your permission). My dog loves to swim and hike and there are some fantastic spots nearby. She gets along great with other dogs and would be so delighted to have a buddy to hangout with!
