Pet care experience

Excited to meet your best friend ❤️

Hi! I’m Katie, I work from home as a remote scheduler for a Veterinary office. I am CPR and First Aid certified through Red Cross. I have a big backyard for your pup to play in! Animals have always been the biggest aspect of my life. I have been pet sitting for a couple years now, recently deciding to hop on Rover to expand. Pet sitting is the best part of my life, learning all the different personalities, and taking care of animals is what I’m most passionate about. Thank you so much for visiting my profile, hope to hear from you soon! 💗

This is my second time availing Katie’s services, and as a first-time cat owner, I was initially a little apprehensive about using Rover. However, Katie’s outstanding service has completely put my mind at ease. Thank you so much, Katie, for all your help, for sharing pictures of my kitten every day, and for your prompt responses to all my questions while we were away! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our little one was in such great hands. ❤️ Thank you again, Katie! We’ll definitely see you soon! 🐾

Doggy Day Care • Aug 24, 2026

Katie did a great job with our senior dog and really helped us out in a pinch. Out of all of the sitters that I contacted who advertise themselves as accepting same day, last minute appointments, she was the only one who responded in a timely manner and had availability to keep our old lady for a few hours. She spoiled our big baby, was very communicative during the brief time that they spent together, was very friendly and welcoming and her rates are fair. I’d definitely utilize her services again if we’re ever back in the area and in need of a pet sitter.

Katie was amazing with my puppy for a week while we were away in Cooperstown. She sent pictures and updates daily and it was great that he had a lot of other pups to socialize with. Would def have her watch Archie again 💕

Katie P. was patient and kind with my cats. We boarded for about two weeks and she was more than happy to send pics and message whenever i needed an update! Would book again!

Katie was perfect. She communicated, sent pictures, and made me feel like I left my babies with someone who really loves animals. I was able to go on vacation in peace knowing they were well taken care of and given love and affection. I will definitely use her again in the future
