Safety, trust & environment

I have experience house sitting. I can care for your pets in their homes and follow their schedules to help them feel relaxed and make their time as stress-free as possible. I also like to give daily updates and pictures.

Information Katie L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your pet’s routine. I like to stick as closely as possible to it to keep the visits as stress-free as possible.

A typical day

During visits, I like to make sure I go at your pet’s pace. If they love to play and run around, I’ll always make sure we spend time playing with their toys or go on a long walk. If they are more reserved/introverted, I’ll do what they prefer (like sit near each other in the sun, or brush them).

Katie checked in on my cat once a day and sent messages and Rover cards a the end of each check in. She cleaned bowls and litter each day and stayed with my kitty feeding her in small increments for a half hour each day I was away. She kept my place clean and played music for my cat to keep her as calm as she could. My kitty was nervous and scared but Katie managed to make her feel cozy by the then of each visit. Next time I’m away I will hope to book Katie again and I highly recommend her!

Katie was wonderful! She put up with a lot of unexpected scheduling changes from us during the week and accommodated our dogs perfectly.

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.
