Pet care experience

Calm, quiet, dependable dog care

Please send me your dogs. I will love them like my own and probably form a healthy obsession with them - please consider that a good thing. I have experience with nervous rescues as well as lead reactive dogs, and have good instincts and intuition. I am confident handling dogs and responsible when out and about.

Thanks Katie for having Luna. She was well looked after, and I appreciated the updates even though I was out of signal range!

Katie was very friendly and really good with our nervous rescue terrier, Todd. We'd happily book her again soon. Thank you Katie.

Drop-In Visits • Dec 29, 2025

Katie did another drop-in for our Golden Retriever. She is very reliable and spent an hour with him when we were out for the day. Communication was excellent and we came home to a very happy dog. Would definitely use her again.

Katie did a drop-in for our Golden Retriever. she was great and called us when it turned out we had inadvertently locked her out of the house. Problem solved, she gave Alf a good run around the garden (with videos to show us) and spent some quiet time with him too. we would definitely use Katie again. Thanks Katie and sorry again about the key problem!

Schedule

I work a full time Mon-Fri job at The University of Bath. It’s a hybrid role so some of my days are at home (or at your house, looking after your pet), and I can typically choose these days. My Thursdays are committed to an existing dog sit arrangement, on a weekly basis.

Safety, trust & environment

Lots of love. Lots of attention. I have strong instincts for looking after pets, having grown up in a busy household with many dogs, cats, horses and more !

A typical day

I am super active so if your dog is high-energy, I can offer both walking options but would happily take them on a run, either on the paths or out in the fields and tracks for more of a fun trail run. I'm also equally happy with a gentle stroll - whatever the dog needs to get out their system!

I would appreciate knowing about any habits out on walks, or things you like to maintain consistency with (i.e. sitting before crossing a road), or about any lead reactivity issues 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.
