Safety, trust & environment

I'm happy to meet up beforehand to see if your pet and I are a good match. I'm happy to follow any instructions or preferences on their care to keep their routines and make everyone feel as safe as possible. I love sending notes and photo updates so you can feel connected!

Information Katie M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any triggers, medications, or negative interactions with situations so I can be best prepared. If they are a shy pet - where are they most comfortable, or where might they hide? Any information about them is helpful as you know your pet best!

A typical day

I love keeping pets active, happy, and comfortable with plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, toys, and outdoor time. I enjoy personalizing activities to each pet’s personality and energy level, whether that means fetch, relaxing couch time, treat puzzles, or extra belly rubs. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and entertained.

Pet care experience

Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m the kind of person who immediately gravitates toward the family pet at gatherings. I have hands-on experience caring for pets with a variety of needs. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, giving basic medications, snuggles, and cleaning up accidents so that you and your pet feel taken care of while you're away!

Katie you were so amazing with my sweet Maisie!! It gave me so much relief to know she was well cared for before she had to be alone for the rest of the night while I was at work. Thank you for being so caring and loving on my girl!!

Katie is caring, dependable, and incredibly trustworthy. She has a natural connection with animals and always makes my pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Katie is responsible, communicative, and attentive to detail, consistently providing excellent care and peace of mind. I absolutely trust her with my own pets and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable 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.
