Trustworthy and Passionate Care

I know we all love our pets like they're our own children (which is exactly what they are) I have experience with a wide variety of animals from small rodents to dogs, and I love each and every single one of them. Currently I own three dogs and cats, so I know what it's like to have so many things to do and possibly not having time for that walk, or becoming stressed when thinking about travel plans and who is going to watch your pets. I have extensive experience with medical animals as I work at a local vet clinic as a vet and I am a human nurse! Thank you so much for considering me to take care of your babies, I hope you have a wonderful day!

Thank goodness for Katie! This was my first time using Rover and she made the process as seamless and stress-free as could be. She was available short notice and I could tell right away that she was going to be the best person to take care of my elderly cat. I will be using her services when I have to leave town again. Highly recommend!

Katie has done a great job caring for my non-conformist cats several times now. I truly appreciate her.

Katie has proven to be a reliable caretaker for my three cats while I am away. Due to medical needs of one of the cats, she visits twice a day. It has worked out great.

Katie was a lifesaver and great piece of mind when we went out of town. She sent picture updates of the kitties and let us know how things were going. We will definitely use Katie in the future!

Katie has been our trusted cat sitter for some time now. She is great with our two cats and has gone above and beyond on visits, such as cleaning up after our cats have knocked over plants, bringing in mail, and sending fun updates and pictures. We highly recommend her!

Katie is the best! This is the second time she has cared for my three cats - one is geriatric, one is medically fragile and the third is just ornery - and all did great. Katie will definitely be the first one I contact when I need cat sitting help in the future.

I do not have me breed preferences, but I would like a little introduction about the dog before I take care of them.
