Generally considered the cool aunt

Thank you for considering me to take care of your animals! I just moved up to northern Wisconsin from Austin, Texas a handful of months ago and am looking to develop new customer relationships. I have 20 + years of experience with dogs and also volunteered on and off at Austin Animal Center in the dog enrichment program. I was heavily active on Rover prior to Covid. Following that, I had a good core group of animals through repeat customers and did not offer Rover services as often. I love dogs, cats, well...most animals in general! I feel more of a connection with them than I do with most humans. I currently live with 2 small dogs and an indoor/outdoor cat. When I watch your dogs, I do so as I'd want someone else to watch mine and will definitely give them all the love and attention they deserve and have their best interests at heart. I look forward to meeting you and my future fur friends.

Katie is a great sitter. She took such good care of Rita and the house, that we just couldn't ask for more. Rita was so chill when we got back that it seemed that she almost didn't even miss us.

Katie is wonderful! Our usually temperamental dachshund took to her like his new best friend. She communicated frequently with updates. She ensured Rocky got all of the love, snuggles and walks he desired. She is very dog knowledgeable.

Katie was wonderful! We received updates/pics daily. Our pets acted like she was one of the family! Highly recommend except when we need her 😆

Age, tendencies, if the dog gets along with other dogs and animals, if they are food or treat aggressive, or leash or fence aggressive. Pretty standard things.
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.
