Highlights
Pet care experience
Responsible Animal Lover
Hi, I'm Katie :) I've been doing Rover on and off since 2019; I grew up with cats, dogs, lizards, birds, guinea pigs, turtles, a bat - you name it. I've been caring for pets since childhood, and I take pride in being responsible, compassionate, and attentive. When I'm not on Rover I work as a writer, editor, and photographer. I have degrees in linguistics and political science and a background in journalism. I love to read and write, watch and make films, and cook. I'm a big nature-lover and will take any excuse to go camping or hiking. I live an active lifestyle, and love to walk and exercise - even better if an animal accompanies me!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Unfortunately, my current housing situation doesn't allow for pet stays in my own home, so I am unavailable for animal day-care and homestay at my place.
Ratings and reviews
Very professional thank you
Katie was a kind, trustworthy, and caring dogsitter! Great experience all around.
Katie has watched after my two cats for overnight stays twice now on short notice and has been absolutely wonderful with them. She is responsive, leaves the place as she found it, and the cats seem content and well cared for when I return. She also sends photos where it’s very clear everyone is enjoying themselves - I’m so glad I found a reliable sitter in the neighborhood!
Katie house sat and watched my two dogs over New Year’s Eve. She was easy to communicate with and my dogs loved her. Would definitely book again.
Katie took wonderful care of my 7 week old kitten and 4 year old cat while I was away. She was incredibly responsive and my cats seemed very happy when I returned, I would absolutely hire her to care for them again.
Katie was a wonderful cat sitter! She stayed with my cat while I was out of town for six days. She was easy to communicate with and sent photo updates regularly. When I got back home my cat was happy and my apartment was in great shape. I would definitely book with Katie again!

Schedule
I'm currently freelancing and working from home, so I have a very flexible weekday schedule that allows me to accept walks and drop-in pet visits on short notice, at just about anytime.
