Attentive, communicative, & patient

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’ve owned a range of pets since childhood (dogs, cats, rabbits, fish), as well as pet-sat many of my friends’ animals. Every dog has their specific needs and I know how to best to accommodate them and provide the utmost attention. I’ll keep them fed, hydrated, and happy! They’ll never be left unattended, and when walking them or bringing them to the dog park I’ll bring plenty of water and treats. I can also administer medicine to dogs or provide other special care if needed. I am very communicative and easy to reach. You will continuously be updated with messages and photos to keep track of what your best friend is doing! They will be treated like family. Each and every pup that I get to spend some time with will always have a special place in my heart. :) Rover is my way of preparing myself for getting my own life companion. I can’t wait to meet each new puppy personality and help you take some time off your hands.

Katie was fantastic - loved getting the picture updates. Our dog looked like he had a great stay.

Katie was great with our dog and sent tons of photos and took great care of our house too. We are picky and she exceeded all expectations.

When you have a sitter like Katie, you run out of great adjectives after 2 or 3 sits. Katie is simply one of the very best sitters on Rover. She's friendly, efficient and my two cats love her! The house is always in perfect shape when we come home and Sam & Jedi are always happy and content. All of this makes it easy to relax and enjoy our trip!

Katie was very relaxed and updated with lots of photos. My dogs seemed to love her and seemed very comfortable with her at our place. She was super communicative and happy to go with the flow, especially because my partner and I left in a frenzy and forgot to leave printed instructions (sorry again). Would definitely use her again in the future! Thanks Katie!

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?

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

Your pup will never be left unattended. I’m active, so if your pup is active too we can go on plenty of long walks (or runs!) together. I’m also an early riser and love starting off my day by going for walks with my furry friends.
