Animal lover excited to meet you!

Pet care experience

Like many people, I grew up with cats and dogs. I began dog walking and sitting through Rover 6 years ago and have had the opportunity to meet so many amazing pets and their owners. I have found a true sense of purpose as a pet caregiver over the years and it is something I plan to do for a very long time. I love being outdoors in the fresh air and being able to stretch our legs. It’s also a treat to just chill out on the couch together after some playtime. I truly enjoy being around doggies (and kitties!), it's a therapeutic experience for both of us! I've recently been providing care to lots of cats in my area. I've really enjoyed that because as a cat owner myself, I know how important socialization is for them. Yes they are usually self-sufficient, but they love pets and playtime just as much as pups do. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter!

Katie was great and wouldn't hesitate to ask her to look after my two cats again!

Katie was wonderful with our two dogs, one of whom is a senior with medical issues.

I always make sure we walk in a safe area and avoid other dogs if that is a concern for the owner. I give them time to get acquainted to me so to establish trust (treats usually help too!) I follow the owners instructions for care and respect their wishes.

Is your dog friendly with new people and children? On walks, will they try to jump on people walking by or just smell them? Do you have any dietary restrictions I should know about?
