Pet care experience

Dog lover turned pet sitter!

Hi! My name is Katie and I love to pet sit for anyone looking for help over the weekend. I have had 4 dogs throughout my life, all toy breeds. I have had my Staffordshire bull terrier Roxy for 5 years and she loves other dogs - although she is very high energy so that must be suitable for your dog. I have met the nicest people and dogs through Rover and feel lucky to be a part of this community. I live in a 2 bedroom, upper flat floor apartment, with a Roxy and her cat sister Raisin. I have an unfenced backyard and am 1 block from a gated dog park. I have extensive practice in administering oral and injectable medications for animals.

Katie was great! What a relief it is to find someone reliable and trustworthy to take care of your pets while you are away! I will definitely put in a request for Katie again!

Katie was fantastic with my two cats. I flew to North Carolina for Thanksgiving - and she kept me fully updated through the holiday weekend, letting me know how my two babies were doing with photos. I absolutely felt reassured, knowing they were in her good hands!

I provide regular potty breaks and walks. I will oversee all meals. I keep the environment free of anything harmful to pets like toxic plants or foods. I am happy to incorporate whatever rules you wish.

Pets

A typical day

I will take them on long walks, go to the dog park, play with toys inside, and give them attention and affection. If they’d like bigger adventures, we can go hiking or swimming at Belle Isle.

I would like to know their typical activity level, where they usually sleep, and how often they need potty breaks. Also if they have any special needs! I prefer toy dog breeds that are hypoallergenic, but I would be open to medium sized dogs and dogs that shed if only for a short stay.
