Safety, trust & environment

I always have my phone on me when I am taking care of others' pets in case the client has to get in touch with me. I always take a lot of photos of how the pet is doing and offer up notes during the stay to keep the client involved.

Information Katie P. would like to know about your pet

I know what it's like to have a pet that needs medication or other special care instructions, so I always make a note of these things during the initial meet and greet.

A typical day

I always try to get some notes form the client about what their pet is like on a daily basis so that I can use that information to stay as close to the pet's routine or schedule as possible. I know it can be stressful for the pet to have their human away, so I want to make it as seamless as possible!

Looking to cuddle more cats!

Cat care experience

I started taking care of pets on Rover in 2019 when I first moved to Philly. I didn't have any pets of my own then, but now I have two cats! I was working from home for the first couple of years during the pandemic, and that helped a lot with pet sitting in other people's homes. Now, I work a hybrid schedule so it would be better to focus on check ins! One of my cats takes daily medication, and the other is a ball of energy who needs constant play and attention. Across all of my time pet sitting on Rover and now living with my own two cats, I have a lot more experience to bring to taking care of your cats! Whether it's for one day or a week, I will make sure your cat gets the attention they deserve. I also LOVE to take pictures of cats that I see, so you'll definitely get photos from me!

Katie has helped me out a few times with last minute petting sitting needs! She is reliable, prompt, able to orally medicate my grumpy senior cat, and always sends lots of photos!

Katie was wonderful with my cat Bear! She made sure to send me detailed updates and did a great job keeping Bear’s feeding area and litter tidy. Will definitely be booking with her again.

Katie was easy to communicate with, extremely attentive and followed all of my instructions when she watched my cat (and gave him an oral pill each day) while I was on vacation. Would highly recommend!

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.
