Hello! Please feel free to contact me! The most important thing to me is that your pet is comfortable in their own home. I can come to your house, I can stay at your house, and your pet will never have to be in a new place overnight. In addition to dogs, I have extensive experience with equine, swine, cattle, and even reptiles. I have worked with and have owned horses from Shetlands to Belgian Draft Horses. I understand how difficult it can be to find someone to care for your farm animals while you are away and how stressful it can be on you. Lower the stress and combine the three - dogsitting, housewatching AND animal care. I do work full-time but I know my schedule ahead of time and am willing to work around yours as well -- thus, booking in advance is recommended!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is top priority! I know animal cpr and I always keep safety in mind when designing any activities. Trusting your pet and your home with someone can be scary - it shouldn't be.

Katie is always so good with sully! Super reliable and gave us regular updates while we were in Tennessee (: she will go out of her way to make sure your dog is taken care of and I can’t thank her enough!

Katie was wonderful. She was communicative, attentive, and left my pets and home in a perfectly healthy and wonderful state. I couldn't be happier. It was so nice to vacation while knowing everything and everyone was in capable hands.

Katie always plays with Eleanor when she takes care of her. We come home to a happy cat.

Schedule

Staying in your home allows your pet to be the most relaxed and able to stay on their regular schedule. I tend to cater my schedule around theirs.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Katie can host up to 1 pet per night
I have a soft spot for Bully breeds, but love and care for all other breeds equally. I honestly have worked with everything from a Wolfhound to a Chihuahua. I prefer to know: the regular schedule, personality/behavior quirks, any aggression, how he or she handles other animals, etc.
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.
