Information Katie M. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have a playful or calm personality? Any pet peeves? Any special dietary or nutritional needs. Anything they are afraid of during walks (bicyclists, other dogs)? Are they difficult to walk (pulling, sniffing, aggressive)? Are they house trained? Do they prefer attention or alone time? What’s their favorite treat/activity?

A typical day

We will walk around the neighborhood as well as other general areas that are safe and easy to walk around. I can take them to my nearby dog park.

24/7 Pet Care & Super Responsive

Pet care experience

Want someone to be with your pets nearly 24/7? Look no further! I am home 24/7 as I study for the bar exam, and my fiancé works from home! We pet-sit together so that someone is always home with your pets. I’ve owned a range of pets since childhood (dogs, cats, rabbits, fish), and have petsat professionally for a decade (since 2016 on Rover). Every dog has their specific needs and I know how to best to accommodate them. I’ll keep them fed, hydrated, and happy! I can also administer medicine to dogs or provide other special care if needed. I am very responsive and easy to reach. You will continuously be updated with messages and photos to keep track of what your best friend is doing! Each and every animal that I get to spend some time with will always have a special place in my heart. :)

Katie did an amazing job caring for our puppy! She was responsible, responsive, and gave us regular updates while we were away. Our puppy loved her! I would highly recommend Katie to anyone who is looking for a loving, kind, and responsible sitter!

Katie is one of our puppy's favorites; she is dependable,, on time, and very pleasant. We have no problem with recommending Katie to watch your dog.

Katie was incredible with our very large dog (who can be quite stubborn). She was communicative, lovely and fantastic with me out pup and the home was perfect upon return. Thank you!

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.
