Attentive animal lover :)

Pet care experience

I’ve been petsitting every since I was a little kid! So I have lots of experience with drop in visits, feeding, and day to day care. I also began working at a local animal hospital when I was old enough. I learned how to administer medications, animal handling, and grooming as well as basic animal maintenance/CPR. I have also attended an academy class at my local high school devoted to animal anatomy and proper grooming techniques. I’ve had a wide range of experience with ill, disabled, and senior pets who need a little extra time and help. I’m willing to help in any way you see fit for your little one :)

Katie is a wonderful dog sitter. This time we only needed to hire her to walk our dog for a couple of days. She loves our dog and lets her take a nice leisurely "sniff" walk around the neighborhood. And Katie was so nice and patient with us when we were scrambling for a dog sitter at Christmas. We would recommend her any time she is available!

Katie did a great job. I'm not one to worry when my dog is in good hands and this was definitely the case. Harriet was not just walked and fed, but loved as the "zoomie" goofball she can be. Our neighbor took care of the evening feedings and Katie left great notes to coordinate with her. I am also impressed with Rover for supplying a way to provide such trackable information. While I didn't check every day, when I got home it was great to look at all the pictures, notes, and walking routes. I would definitely hire Katie again!

Katie is absolutely wonderful with my dogs and has clearly demonstrated she is an animal lover. It can sometimes be nerve-wracking to trust someone else with my animals, but Katie relieved any fears I had. I have entrusted my two pups with her on multiple occasions and they just adore her. Two very enthusiastic THUMBS UP for this reliable, responsible and loving pet caregiver.

Please let me know if any health conditions your pet may have. Accommodation of your pets health and needs is my #1 concern! It’s also key to know if your dog is not friendly with other dogs! It’s important to avoid any mishaps on our walks!!

A typical day

I love any type of game! I’m always down for tug of war or fetch. And a quick spin around the neighborhood to sniff all the new smells can always be done. Anywhere you’d like your dog walked is a place I’m willing to trot!
