Katie and her family are absolutely amazing. They spoiled my dogs, and they came home so tired and happy. She was so easy to work with and communicated throughout the whole weekend. So grateful!

Katie is amazing! I have used Rover for years, and she is truly above and beyond. She's very intelligent, love animals, knows how to treat them and what they need, is calm and effective and reassuring and loving with my dogs. And they feel it. I really can't rate her highly enough. I can't say that after years of leaving various dogs for boarding in homes, her Home and her Care were above and beyond anything I have ever experienced. This is the first time I have left my rescue pups, one of them, blind, in a boarding home for several days. And it's truly the first time in all those years that I have not been anxious and worried about how my pups were doing. That is a level of trust and confidence I place in this woman. Thank you, katie! And thank you so much to your beautiful daughter for helping out and giving my pups lots of love Suzanne

Kobi had a great stay with Katie and family, she's a loving dog and they loved her up right back. We would happily use Katie again.

Katie and her family did a great job of looking after Rufus for a week. Lots of communication and photos, they were greatly appreciated. Knowing our fur baby was well taken care of made all the difference.

Schedule

I do work a full time job, but it is regular hours, so overnight shifts are very possible. I live with my husband and brother so an adult is always home. I would love to walk dogs early in the morning before work!

Safety, trust & environment

Our yard is fully fenced. We have space for a crate if needed but my pets have run off the house so dogs on couches and beds are welcomed. We do have two dogs and four cats. The dogs are friendly and the cats will generally leave everyone alone.

Pets

A typical day

We walk dogs daily in our house and often play ball in the backyard. I love letting dogs smell all the new sights on their walks. If it’s safe, I enjoy taking a new walk every day or at least mixing it up.

Ideally the dogs are already leash trained. My own dog is still a puller, until she’s a little tired, so I’m used to that. No choke collars please. Prefer halters.
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.
