Pet care experience

Experienced with all breeds & ages

Whether you’re working long hours, going on a weekend trip, spending the holidays with family, or traveling long distances, I’m here to help! 🤗 You can rest assured, as you will receive a detailed update, video, and pictures after each visit! The update will include a description of the activities we did, amount of food your pup ate (if needed), their moods throughout the visit, and other fun updates! 😀 I’ve had dogs of different breeds and sizes around me my whole life. I currently have a couple of fur babies at home, known as Melman and Rumble. Melman is a high-energy, fetch loving, Corgi. Rumble is a senior Australian Shepherd who can’t get enough pets. I have a home full of herders! 🐾 Before sitting on Rover, I cared for friend’s and family’s dogs, as they went on vacation. Now, I get to enjoy sitting more frequently, and I couldn’t be happier!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

As a pet owner, I understand how challenging it can be to trust an individual to care for their fur baby. Rest assured, as I pride myself in creating a loving & comfortable environment for all fur babies. I have experience with a variety of temperaments & behaviors. Therefore, I know how to handle anything that may arise, including anxiousness, lack of eating, potty accidents, over-excitement, etc. Additionally, you can count on me staying at your house throughout the ENTIRE visit & longer if I’m available. 😊 While caring for your dog, I would be happy to stimulate them mentally by playing games around the house. Toy hide-and-seek, dog puzzles, chase, and fetch are just a few of my favorites. Ensuring your dog gets exercise is critical to me if they can handle it. 🦮

Katie watched our 2 babies while we were on vacation. She did a wonderful job caring for them. Always prompt and provided videos/photos. I would highly recommend her.

The best in the biz! Best Corgi handler around imo. Does a great job at relaying how the trip went, and does a great job at making sure your pet is happy. I’m always less anxious about leaving him when I know it’s with Katie!

Before caring for your pup, I would like to know about any special needs your dog might have. That includes medication, health, exercise, food allergies, or behavioral needs. This information can simply be filled out on a paper I will provide prior to visits. Knowing if your pup has any food allergies or aggression prior to any visits is important. I do bring small training treats during the visits to encourage your dog. However, I will not bring treats upon your request. I prefer to meet you and your dog in person prior to any drop-in visits. This allows you, your dog, and me to gain trust within your environment. Plus, it gives me an opportunity to learn more about your dog. **If your address is outside of my radius, I still can still do the visits. However, it will be an extra $1 per additional mile for each visit**
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.
