Availability

I am a current graduate student with only a single class I need to attend. I can work from home, so that gives me plenty of time to take care of the pets I sit. I like to spend as much time as possible with the pets I watch. I feel that many pets become anxious when their owners leave, so I want to provide as much care for them as possible.

Information Katie F. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know about any quirks, routines, preferences, or special needs your pet may have. I am very accommodating and want to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for.

A typical day

I enjoy working with animal behavior, so I adapt my approach and activities based on each pet’s individual needs. I always carry a variety of toys in case I need to try different strategies for dogs or cats, and I consistently prioritize their comfort, enrichment, and well-being.

Pet care experience

Hello, all. I have owned dogs and cats my whole life and am fascinated by them! I believe in giving excellent care to all animals that come my way. I originally wanted to be a vet but ended in wildlife biology. I've volunteered for shelters and rehabilitation for animals. I understand the love owners have for their pets and treat all like they're my own.

Amazing, as per usual! Had Katie come in to feed and play with our cat while we were on vacation and he had a blast hanging out with her (and getting his food, his favorite parts of the day). Would 100% recommend booking with Katie!

Absolutely the best! Trusting my dog and my house to Katie for 10 days was a GREAT decision; she took wonderful care of both and is an overall great person. Will definitely have her stay over again next time we leave town!

Katie was wonderful with our older dog while we were away. She took good care of him and our home, and sent us frequent updates. Thanks Katie!

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.
