Pet care experience

Your pet deserves the best!

I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats over the years. Growing up, I looked after my family’s havanese yorkie, so I know how much your pet is truly part of your family. Ive looked after friends and coworkers dogs for long periods of time. During my longest job I looked after three cats and one dog for two months. I also have a strange affinity for finding lost dogs, as I have helped rehome six of them. I am comfortable around many kinds of animals, and I love getting to know them and giving them the love and attention they deserve. My mother works in the vet industry, and I am fortunate to have learned a lot from her. I’ve had the opportunity to help out at doggy blood banks and other events, which has furthered my comfort.

Safety, trust & environment

I am here for your pooch’s comfort. I like to discuss with my clients what routines are best to adhere to when interacting with their pets. I am open to taking them out for however long of a walk they need, refilling their food, playing with them in the house or outside, and cleaning up any litter boxes or other messes around the house.

Katie did a fantastic job with my 2 small dogs and cat. She was very communicative and responsible! Would definitely rebook with Katie.

We left our dog Arlo with Katie for the first time and had an amazing experience! Communication with her was consistent and easy, with lots of updates! Our dog gets anxious and can be reactive and Katie was so great with following all our instructions and keeping our girl happy and comfortable. It’s easy to see just how much she cares! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pup and we will definitely be booking with her again!

Katie always does an amazing job for us and we continue to use her services when we need someone to care for our precious border collie and our home. We went for an extended holiday and had the peace of mind knowing that everything was taken care of properly and professionally. Thanks again Katie for your services and Bambu thanks you for being such an awesome care giver. She always looked like she was smiling in the pictures you sent!

Schedule

Alongside per sitting I also substitute teach and work sparingly as a front desk attendant. Due to the ATA strike, my schedule is presently quite open for both drop ins and overnight stays! I work two days a week at my other job on an inconsistent schedule, and I will let you know if my shift overlaps on your requested day(s). I am more than happy to do overnight stays while I am scheduled, if your pet is okay with that!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Katie can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Please let me know ahead of time if your dog has any special needs. I am very accommodating, and would like a heads up so I can best interact with them. Please let me know as well if I should steer clear of anything on walks or in the house, be it other animals, people, or certain areas. I am perfectly comfortable with high energy animals, and those who are not quite trained yet. I sadly cannot accommodate pets that require injections, as I am phobic. I also do not have the muscle for dogs over 100 pounds. If you need me to do a drop in visit for a larger dog who is well trained, I have no problem with that.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
