Pet care experience

Work from Home & Dependable!

I’ve been a pet owner and sitter for well over 15 years now. My dog of a lifetime was a Great Dane that was my first baby and passed away just over a year ago. I’m very comfortable with seniors. I’ve been responsible for walking and feeding not only my pets, but also many neighbors and friends who have relied on me. I treat each animal like they are my own and make sure to give them the love and attention that I would want mine to have.

Lentil had such a great week with Katie and her family. This was Lentil’s first extended stay away, so we were nervous, but Katie made us feel so comfortable. She was flexible with timing, incredibly accommodating and communicative, and sent us pictures everyday. Peace of mind about your pet when you’re traveling is so valuable, and Katie delivered that for us. We cannot recommend her enough!

Katie and her family are fantastic. I was put at ease knowing my pup was being loved and cared for while we were gone. Super communicative and lots of updates with photos.

Katie is so great! She gives us peace of mind that our fur baby is being well taken care of, and she sends terrific photos! Our pup needs several eye drops throughout the day, and Katie is more than up to the task.

Schedule

I work part-time and create my own hours so I am able to enjoy the flexibility to work around the needs of my clients. This allows me to put your pet first. My husband also tag teams things with me. He is a school teacher and helps out as his schedule allows.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat each pet like they are my own. I have a large yard and live in a family and pet friendly neighborhood that is amazing for walks. While your pets will get everything they need, they’ll also enjoy the company of a 3 year old beagle mix that was rescued at a week old. She is incredibly friendly and will provide great company for your pet. I follow all directions to a tee and will ensure your pet feels at home even when you are away.

Pets

A typical day

My neighborhood is perfect for taking walks. The older neighborhood has a closed loop that is easy to walk multiple times a day. There is no through traffic which minimizes cars on the road. I live within walking distance to a greenway and frequent it many times a week.

It is important to know their daily schedule. Do they have any allergies or dietary restrictions? What is their temperament? Do they get along with other animals? Do they do well with children and other people? How do they normally behave on a leash?
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.
