Trusted best friend to all dogs!

Pet care experience

*FULLY VACCINATED You've probably passed me on the street smiling at your dog before I even notice there is a human attached to them. I've always loved dogs and feel a special connection to them. In my life, I've owned three dogs and truly enjoyed taking care of each of them. I am a person with a very open/flexible schedule and believe I would be a perfect match for any of your dog sitting needs. As a former nanny and sometimes pet sitter, I know how important it is to make you feel comfortable with a stranger in your home. I have great respect for those who open their doors and I truly want to respect each of your homes. I know the importance of exercise for dogs and walk with my own dog up to 3 miles a day. I also believe dogs should have active play lives and I know how important it is to keep their energy up. Overall I just want to get it across that being around dogs brings me an unmatched joy that I know you will see if you trust me as a caregiver. I am trying to do rover full time so I have plenty of time that I would love to spend caring for all your pets! I know what it’s like to tend to a dog with a lot of anxiety and like to be a constant calming force at all times. Patience is the most important thing with animals and I have plenty of it.

Katie was a LIFESAVER for our family in a weekend that turned very quickly. She was on time to the minute and loved Busy as if she was her own. Trust her completely and she loves what she does.

Katie watched our two pups while we were out of town for a long weekend. The girls were super happy and tired when we got home and she left our place just as we left it. We’d definitely have Katie watch the girls again!

Information Katie M. would like to know about your pet

I just like to know as much as I can about their behavior so nothing is unexpected or alarming. If a dog is special needs or requires medication, I would love all that information ahead of time.

A typical day

I try to stick as close as I can to a pet’s regular schedule because routine is the most important for pets. I also believe in lots of walks to expend energy and running in general.
