Information Katie S. would like to know about your pet

Tell me about any health issues or physical limitations. This helps me plan the walks and the downtime more efficiently. Any behavioral issues, we all have them! Any weaknesses with house training, it’s better if I’m aware in advance so please let me know. Any training methods currently being practiced, it’s good to be consistent.

A typical day

Hikes on the trails, walks at the beach, rural SLO: Avila, Pismo, Shell Beach, Morro Bay, Johnson Ranch, South Hills, Vulture Peak and Madonna Inn. Some dogs just want to laze around in my fully fenced yard.

Katie is an excellent dog boarder/sitter! She’s a great communicator and was flexible by accommodating us with an earlier drop of time. She took such good care of my senior dog, Dogboy, for three days and two nights. I could tell he was happy and content in her care by all of the pictures and videos she sent. Then when I came to pick him, up he even didn’t want to leave! I would highly recommend Katie to any pet parents looking for boarding or a sitter.

Katie was great! Quick & friendly communication, easy scheduling and my doggo came home tired & happy. He even ate his meals, which he usually skips when he's off his routine, so that tells me he felt comfortable and safe with her.

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.
