Lover of all pets

Pet care experience

I have been pet sitting for a few years. I've cared for dogs as big as a great dane to as small as pugs and a frenchie. I'm very good with dogs and give updates throughout my stay so that you know how your pups are doing. I work in-person in an office Monday-Fridays in DC. I care about your pets as if they were my own! My family has had some type of dog for my entire life and I would love to be able to take care of your pet while you are away. I love all types of dogs and will give them a lot of pets and love.

Katie took great care of our pup again! She communicates well, sends cute pics, and we know Riggs loved his time with her. Five stars without hesitation. Highly recommend!

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.
