Safety, trust & environment

If coming into your home, I would make sure to refill your pet’s water, clean up any mess they might make around the house, and re-crate them if needed. I will always make sure to lock up after I leave and not leave any trace! I'm more than happy to bring any mail inside, or alert you to any other issues going on.

Information Katie M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog does not get along well with other dogs so that I can take the appropriate measures to keep your pet safe and calm.

A typical day

I would love to take your dog for a walk around the neighborhood, up and downhill to get some exercise if they need, and shower them with love! I love to play with toys, but also to relax with the dog/cat too.

Responsible & communicative sitter

Pet care experience

I have taken care of my dog, Skipper, a sweet cockapoo, from when he joined our family until I left for college. After I walk him, I always make sure to check for ticks or anything else out of the ordinary. I’ve cleaned up after accidents, always make sure to pick up after him on walks, and ensure that he is a well fed, hydrated, happy pup. I would love to provide the same time of care for your pet! In addition to my own pup, I’ve enjoyed walking two other dogs here in DC! I’ve loved getting to know them and that experience made me decide to sign up for Rover! Before I moved to DC, I mostly cared for slightly larger breeds through Rover. I really appreciate when a pet parent is willing to let me meet them/their pet beforehand, so the pet can get familiar with me and to go over any routines. I'm very communicative, attentive, and truly love animals. Whether its a walk, just hanging out and playing indoors, or feeding/litter, I would be honored to take care of your pet while you're away!

Katie was able to accommodate us with short notice. Our house is old and not easy to unlock but Katie figured it out and had great communication with us. Thank you.

Katie is one of the best pet sitters we've ever had! From the moment we met her, it was clear that she is passionate about caring for animals. Our pets were incredibly happy and well cared for during our time away. Katie went above and beyond by providing us with detailed updates and adorable photos, which made us feel connected and reassured. We could truly relax on our vacation, knowing our pets were in such capable hands. I highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet sitter!

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.
