Safety, trust & environment

I'm familar with animal behavior and can recognize when a pet is stressed or uncomfortable. I am also careful to doublecheck leashes before going out for a walk.

Information Katie P. would like to know about your pet

When booking with me on Rover, it's important for pet owners to provide as much information about their pets as possible ahead of time. This includes details about their pet's behavior, any special care instructions, dietary restrictions, and any medical conditions that I need to be aware of. This will help me ensure that I can provide the best possible care for them while their family is away.

A typical day

They go for walks, play with their toys, and do lots of snuggles. I personalize the fun based on each pet's preferences and energy level.

I have a husky that is very outgoing but has a bad case of separation anxiety and Katie knew exactly how to handle it during our house sitting! She was great at depicting his personality and handling him in a situation where a bunch of kids ran up to him to say hi. She kept my place spotless and kept me updated with the perfect amount of cute pictures of my pup! 10/10 would recommend!

Katie has been wonderful with our new, nervous rescue dog. She took the time to meet with us in advance to go over safety protocols and she’s been helpful jumping in with last minute requests.

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.
