Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I provide drop-in visits and walks in your home so pets can remain in their familiar environment. I require a meet and greet prior to accepting new clients to ensure a good fit for everyone. I share my home with one friendly indoor cat, Blake (age 7), who is up to date on vet care and preventative treatments. Any pets in my care are never left unattended outside. Most of my clients are cats, which allows me to provide focused, low-stress, and reliable care.

Katie knows a lot about cats and is extremely reliable! It's comforting to have an experienced cat sitter when your kitties aren't used to strangers in their home.

Katie did a wonderful job watching my pup. She came to meet her first before booking and spent time learning her routine. She was timely and always sent photos. Thank you!

Katie knows cats and is reliable and kind. Our Kitty looks relaxed and happy in the photos, which is our main goal. We'll hire Katie again for sure.

Katie is conscientious, responsible and compassionate. She listens to what your pet requires and flexes appropriately when things change. Our kitty needed human interaction as a priority and Katie made the most of her one hour drop ins. Our kitty was in good spirits, well groomed, and her areas were super clean after over three weeks in Katie’s care. We are grateful to have her and will be booking her again.

We really appreciate the pictures, thorough updates, responsiveness/communication and flexibility with a last minute schedule change! Our kitties warmed right up which is rare with strangers and speaks to Katie’s warmth and kindness:) definitely recommend her for all pet parents but especially cat owners!!

Schedule

Because I provide mostly full-time care, I work best with clients who have some flexibility in scheduling. This allows me to coordinate visits efficiently while still meeting your pet’s needs. Adjustments are typically minimal, and only occasionally up to two hours.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Katie can host up to 7 drop-ins per day
I like to learn about your pet’s favorite toys, activities, routines, and any unique quirks so I can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable. Please share any allergies or medical considerations as well. For all home visits, I require a reliable way to access your property for each scheduled visit to ensure consistent and safe care.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
