Pet care experience

Previous vet tech who loves animals

Hi! My name is Katie. I am originally from San Diego, CA. I have had dogs all my life growing up. At a very young age I was responsible for their care and grew up walking, feeding, and bathing them. I also helped take care of dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rabbits, and guinea pigs in my community through high school. My passion for animals grew and I became a veterinary technician in my early 20's. I have 6 + years veterinary experience and I am comfortable handling animals of all sizes and temperaments. I am also comfortable giving medications and injections if needed. I love walking, being outside, and helping my community. I require a meet and greet for new clients before completing any requests. I look forward to meeting you and your pets soon!

So glad I found Katie to watch my girl for a last minute sitter. After an initial meet and greet, I felt confident that my dog would be in good hands. I received lots of feedback and cute pictures/video of my dog during Katie’s visit, which I loved. I would definitely book again; thanks Katie!

Katie is the best sitter! Super communicative and shows that she cares for my dog. I’ve used Katie as a sitter on many occasions and will continue to do so. I highly recommend booking with Katie!

Katie is a terrific pet sitter. I love the photos she sent me while I was in Africa, missing my two dogs. Katie was observant and left me good notes of things she noticed and she showed real concern for my dogs. I will book with her again. Melanie

I have a dog with behavioral issues and I completely understand that not all dogs like strangers, but people and their pets still need help. I am more than happy to see if a partnership for myself and your pet works out by scheduling a meet and greet before any walks or check in visits are scheduled. If your pet has any fun quirks, any preferences, or special needs, feel free to let me know beforehand or we can discuss it in a meet and greet.
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.
