Safety, trust & environment

I believe in positive reinforcement. I would never EVER treat someone’s pet different than I treat my own, which is with a positive reinforcement system.

My dog is always happier and more relaxed when Katie does drop in visits when I work my long 12hr shifts some weekends. She does a great job

Katie is great and always a pleasure to work with! She always takes pictures and sends updates every visit and answers my follow up questions right away. My go to first choice when I need a cat sitter for my outdoor cat!

This is the second weekend Katie has done drop in visits while I am away working 12hr shifts. My dog is so much happier and calmer when I get home since Katie started helping us. I will definitely be requesting her for more visits in the future.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I’m a nurse that works night shift (7p-7a) so I am usually available to check in on your pets in the morning and the late afternoons/evenings. Depending on my schedule, I am sometimes able to do mid-day visits but I currently have myself marked as unavailable unless the visit is worked out ahead of time—feel free to message me and/or request me for mid day visits and I can confirm my availability with you. I am currently only available for clients that are in the Marysville area.

Katie can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I would love to know the activity level of your dog beforehand so I can come up with some fun things to do for extended visits! I also want to know about any special needs I should accommodate for (medications, physical limitations, behaviors, etc). I have worked with aggressive dogs before so I’m not afraid of aggressive dogs, but I would like that disclosed beforehand and how you go about dealing with the behavior.
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.
