Safety, trust & environment

In my home I care for two cats; I make sure they are always fed and watered, and they all have plenty of time and space to play. My husband cares for them when I'm unavailable. I can take care of your pets in your own home with any requirements and requests that you may have.

Information Katie J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if your dog has aggression problems with other dogs or if they hate car rides. I don't often take the pup from the owner's property but just in case that becomes needed, I'd like to know if they have issues with car rides like nausea or anything like that. Also, if you are trying to teach a puppy different commands, let me know so I can try to enforce them!

A typical day

If your dog is friendly with other dogs, I'd love to take them to a local dog park to run around off-leash and do fun things like go swimming and play fetch with their favorite toy. If the owner is okay with it, I'd love to take the dogs to Starbucks and treat them to a puppuccino!

Katie was absolutely wonderful! We had an emergency trip we had to make and were unable to guide Katie through our pup’s routine before leaving. Katie went above and beyond in figuring things out with very little guidance and making sure our pup was taken care of and loved. As a veteran and first responder, I can wholeheartedly recommend her for her reliability, trustworthiness, and professionalism.

At our initial meet and greet, the kitties were super responsive to her and winston gave her the nod of approval. Katie took care of our 4 furbabies, following all instruction with ease. She quickly responded to messages and kept us up to date with the happenings of the day. Thank you Katie!

Katie was amazing with our 2 pups. She was very responsive, gave many updates with pictures, & left our house clean as well. We will definitely book with Katie for our next trip!

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.
