Pet care experience

Always willing to go the extra mile

Hi I’m Katie! I am currently in college looking to pursue an animal degree. I graduated from South Tech’s veterinary assistant class which means I have my vet assistant certification, and I’m well educated on first aid, animal body language, grooming, health, and many more. I’ve always had a handful of animals that were my responsibility and prior experience watching animals for neighbors and friends. I also job shadowed at Affton vet, which gave me the opportunity to watch them perform a number of surgeries, but also routine vaccines. I am also comfortable with administering oral and injected medications.

Safety, trust & environment

While you’re away, I’d love to keep to the same schedule that your pet is used to and minimize their stress. We can go for walks, sit in the backyard together, or just watch tv on the couch! I’m a good photographer, so you can expect plenty of photos of whatever we end up doing!

Katie watched our dogs while we were away and was fantastic! We have two pups, and both can be a little slow to warm up. Within 5 minutes of meeting Katie they were following her around asking for pets. She sent consistent updates and was very quick to respond to messages. Our house was even cleaner than when we left. Would book again without any hesitation!

Dog Walking • May 25, 2026

She cut the walk a little short. Showed up and slides, which isn’t quite efficient enough to walk a dog in if you asked me. Didn’t read the notes I had left about commands etc.

Katie was phenomenal and went above and beyond to accommodate our dog’s unique needs and our travel schedule. She is extremely caring and communicated well throughout her stay. I strongly recommend Katie for your pet sitting needs.

Katie was excellent! We have two frenchies and one has a seizure disorder. I was completely comfortable with her ability to handle it, administer his meds and take care of him. We will use Katie again without a doubt and will recommend her to anyone who asks.

Katie was great. She was easy to work with, communicated well throughout her stay and sent plenty of photos and updates. She left the house nice and clean and the animals were very happy. We will work with her again.

Before meeting your dog, I’d like to know the rules you have in place for them, if they will be nervous or excited when I first walk in, and anything else that may be important when meeting your dog for the first time. Knowing your schedule is a big help too so I know what time I’ll be waking up with them. Any allergies or medications your pet has daily and other than that, just what your expectations are for their daily activities and I’ll provide all the extras. Furthermore, I am committed to supporting long-term pet health and can offer guidance on how to save 10% monthly on pet insurance for the lifetime of your animal. This insurance covers accidents, illnesses, diagnostic tests, and treatments, and allows you to visit any veterinarian of your choice, including emergency clinics and specialists, as all are considered in-network.
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.
