Information Katie J. would like to know about your pet

temperament, comfort with other dogs, bark level and ability to walk nice on a leash. A dogs personality can change in new environments so it is helpful to know how they behave in their current home.

A typical day

A typical day would start with breakfast, going out into the backyard, a nap, lunch time walk, play time, dinner time and another walk if needed. The back door is always open and we have security cameras all around to keep an eye on the dogs.

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Katie and I offer overnight dog boarding, daycare, dog walking and check-ins during both weekdays and weekends. I work from home 3 days per week and have a fully fenced in yard. We have security cameras inside and outside as well as a resident police officer! Safety is priority for your pups here! I have had pets for 25 years and currently have one live in dog, Boomer. I have 20 years of experience caring for dogs. I also volunteer at an animal shelter once a week to walk dogs and occasionally foster. I love their personalities! I am comfortable with many dog breeds and personalities and the cuddlier the better! I look forward to meeting you and your pup and thank you for your consideration!

Katie is wonderful. She did two drop in visits this week for Cosmo who needed timed medication. I hired her because I knew she was responsible and could be counted on to show up on time. She has also watched Cosmo in her home. Thank you 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.
