Pet care experience
I'm here year round!
Hello! My name is Katie and I have been watching animals through Rover since August of 2017, but on my own for many years. I absolutely love watching animals and getting to know their personalities. When I watch your animal I care for them like it is my own. Size: I have watched every size of dog/cat from the teeny tiny 3 pounders to the very big 160 pounders. Have a dog/cat that is smaller or larger, I am up for the challenge! (I very much hope you don’t have a cat that is 160 pounds…. I might have to draw the line with that one!) Age: Any age of pup/kitty I will watch! I’ve watched young puppies/kittens with their tiny shark teeth to the oldies but goodies with no teeth! Breed: I will watch any breed of dog/cat! Personality/Energy Level: I have watched many different personality types, many are shy while others are so friendly! Some are couch potatoes while others are super energetic and the occasional 0 to 45mph (Greyhounds!) Medication/Health: I have given oral medications (I always watch and make sure they actually eat it) and topical medications. I have not gone to Vet School nor have I worked in a Vet Clinic so any knowledge I have of dogs/cats is from growing up with them and from what you tell me about your dog/cat. With that being said I will watch over your dog/cat like they are my own and if I think something is wrong, I will take the proper steps depending on the issue at hand (calling you, calling Rover, taking to the Vet, Emergency Vet, etc). Diet: Kibble, wet food, and a raw diet is what I have mostly handled. Some eating twice a day or three times a day. I have also had a few pups that were food aggressive so they ate in different areas. Leash Aggression: A good amount of the dogs I have watched seem to have some sort of leash aggression with people and other dogs while on walks. Because of that I am very good at weaving around the neighborhoods (advoiding people and animals) so that I can not only keep other people/animals safe but your precious pup safe! Farm Animals: I have watched Peacocks, Chickens, Goats, and Pigs. I am willing to learn how to care for any farm animal. I did not grow up on a farm or have any sort of farm animal so my experience is very limited, but the animals I have watched I thoroughly enjoyed watching them! Especially the peacocks….. They are so beautiful! Photos: All photos are taken from my iPhone. I do try to make sure I get high quality photos for you, but sometimes that is just not possible.

Katie is the absolute best!
Katie was great with Tito. Her drop-ins were well timed and she was very reliable. I’ll definitely rebook her in the future.
Katie did an amazing job checking in on my pup. She was very consistent with what time she dropped in, always updated me on her visit, and took the BEST pictures. (She also always brought my amazon packages inside which was super nice). Luna warmed up to her immediately during the meet and greet and I’ve already booked her for further drop ins! Thanks Katie!
Glad to have someone dependable, plus she captured some great pics of my two dogs out in my yard! I definitely plan to hire Katie again.


Katie did am amazing job with our two dogs, a German Shepard & a pugzu. We already have her booked again and appreciate her amazing communication skills. Highly recommend!
Katie has been awesome checking in on our cats while we’ve been gone on travel. She spent time playing with them and made sure they had everything they needed, which has given us peace of mind leaving them home.
