We are pleased to offer boarding services for pets weighing up to 70 pounds at our condo, providing a safe and welcoming environment for your furry friends. With the ability to board pets overnight seven days a week, we can ensure your pets receive dedicated care and attention, especially since we do not have pets of our own. As a home health nurse, I have a flexible schedule throughout the work week, allowing me to accommodate your pet's needs easily. My nursing background also equips me to handle any medical requirements your fur babies may have, including administering medications, injections, and providing wound care. You can feel confident knowing that your pets are in capable and caring hands while they stay with us.

Information Katie M. would like to know about your pet

It’s important that your pet can be around a child 10-years-old. If your pet has any special needs, I would like to know ahead of time so I can meet their needs.

A typical day

A typical day of dog sitting includes plenty of playtime, cuddles, and care throughout the day. I keep to each dog’s feeding and potty schedule, make sure they feel comfortable and loved, and keep their space tidy. In the evening, we enjoy a nice walk around the community before settling in for some quiet time. I also send updates and photos so owners know their pup is happy and well cared for.

Katie has been wonderful, very kind, reliable, and easy to communicate with. She and her lovely daughter, Rori, took excellent care of our dog, Riley. We received regular photos and updates throughout our trip, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter.

Katie took wonderful care of my special needs dog in a short notice situation. She was very easy to communicate and was flexible with me on pick up and drop off. She sent me lots of pictures during my dog's stay and checked in with me often. I can't recommend her enough! Most people would not open their home to a medical special needs dog but Katie did without a second thought. Thanks again for the wonderful experience. So grateful to have found you

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.
