Trustworthy Dog Mom at your Service

I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups, and I truly love having them around. I also have a 5 year old miniature Goldendoodle who is very friendly and always happy to make new dog friends. A typical day with us is relaxed and fun and includes neighborhood walks, hikes, naps, tug of war, and trips to the dog park. We usually start and end the day with calm walks through quiet neighborhoods. I work remotely from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m almost always home and able to give dogs lots of attention and supervision. We also have a large, open yard with shady spots where dogs can lounge, explore, and play. Dogs are welcome to freely roam the house and are allowed on the furniture. We also have plenty of toys to keep them happy and entertained, especially during the summer heat.

If we could give more than 5 stars we would! Katie and her husband are the absolute best. Their dog Bear is such a sweet boy. They were all so great with Phoebe and Zoey. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for someone to care for their precious pups. We will definitely be return clients!!

My pups had a great time I could tell from the pictures and that allowed me to enjoy my vacation without worrying about them. Both of my dogs required multiple daily medications both morning and night but seems like it was no issue. I’m grateful I found Katie and she was willing to watch my boys for me. Definitely recommend and if I need a rover sitter again in Phoenix I’ll definitely reach out again!

A typical day

Depending on what the weather will permit, we will attempt to go on a 2-3 mile walk. After our walk, we relax inside out of the heat and take a nap. In the afternoon/evening we will go on another walk or hike if we can! There is also a shaded area in our backyard for the dogs to play.

Does your dog have any triggers I need to avoid? How is your dog around other dogs? Is your dog potty trained? How well does your dog do in the Phoenix heat (if you want them walked) ?
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.
