Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets just like I care for my friends and family in my life: putting their needs and comfort first, and trying my best to support and love them in the ways that give them the ability to survive AND thrive.

Information Katie H. would like to know about your pet

I like to know the animal’s interests, general personality, dislikes, and things to be aware of such as not liking to be touched or pet in certain ways or requiring space from other animals if we go on walks, things like that :)

A typical day

I love to play with animals both physically and emotionally :) spending time together as well as paying attention to what the animal needs or is interested in! I am all about respect and doing what is best for your loved one(s)!

Hi there! I’d love to help y’all!

Pet care experience

Hi there! Let me give you a little background of who I am: my name is Katie, I’m 30 years old, I work as a mental health therapist with children, teenagers, adults, and their families, and am taking a break from practice to care for my family and study for my licensure exam. Why am I on Rover? While I’m diligently studying I want to continue exercising my care skills. I have a lot of experience with pets and people and to be honest… I see them as practically one and the same as they both hold so much importance in others’ lives and deserve individualized care that respects and honors their complex personality and needs! I pride myself on my patience, tolerance, and ability to connect and support others :) I’ll treat your pet like they are one of my own and not just some “animal” but a crucial part of your family!

Katie did such an AMAZING job taking care of our lab! She not only kept us informed every day and sent us lots of photos but she went above and beyond engaging with Cookie ensuring she was happy. Our doggie had a blast with her😊If you are looking for someone to really go the extra mile, that’s her😊 Thank you Katie!!!

Katie is a delight to work with and gave loving attention to my 2 elderly dachshunds when I was out of town. What’s more, Katie makes you feel like you’re having a friend tend them vs a hired service. I highly recommend Katie for her compassion and reliability.

Katie was super sweet and took care of all three pups, loved all the pictures we got and appreciated how much love she gave to our dogs while we where away. Thanks again Katie, see you soon!

Absolutely! Here's a concise review based on your feedback: Katie was an exceptional dog walker for Seamus. Her communication and friendly demeanor were top-notch. Despite a hiccup with the address on my end, she addressed it professionally and ensured Seamus had a great walk. Highly recommend her and hope she'll be available for future walks with Seamus!
