Safety, trust & environment

Your pets safety is always my #1 priority. I keep a close eye on dogs during walks, avoid unsafe areas, and only use secure leashes and harnesses. I never let dogs off-leash unless in a fully fenced, owner-approved space. At my ranch style home, the environment is pet-friendly and free from hazards with plenty of cozy spots to rest. I follow any special feeding, medication (injections included), or care instructions to the letter, and I treat every pet as if they were my own! Check out my reviews for more details.

Information Katie S. would like to know about your pet

Sharing a brief understanding of their reactions to other people, dogs/cats, cars, bikers, and children is also helpful. No breed preferences! BOARDING and DAYCARE ONLY: Only one dog and/or family of dogs will be accepted at a time. RATES: Locked in at time of booking.

A typical day

Playing. Playing. And more playing! Tons of attention + running, walking, fetching, frisbee, catch, belly rubs, and essentially whatever you most prefer for your pet! I also love taking lots pictures of your baby to share the experience with you.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Katie the Dog & Cat Lady! 🐾🙋🏼‍♀️ Come on over, stay awhile! With 15 years of pet-sitting experience and 8 years as a daily Rover customer myself — I absolutely know what it takes to keep tails wagging! Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, daycare or overnight stay, your pets safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ve booked a Rover for my own pup, Murphy, more than 200 times, learning firsthand what makes an amazing care provider! I have used this app in many types of markets: major cities, beach communities, rural mountains towns, and in farm country. Now, with extra time in my schedule, I’m excited to give back to this wonderful community and be your go-to, reliable Rover in Western Massachusetts. • Daycare/Boarding 🏠🐈🦴: I am home full-time, so your pet literally has 24 hours of total care! My ranch-style home is senior dog sensitive, has a fully fenced in yard, neighborhood trails nearby, and Arlo 4K security cameras 24/7. • House-Sitting 🚗🐾: I can come stay in your pets safest space AKA your home! • Walks/Drop-In 🦮🚶‍♀️: Available daily every two hours. • New to Rover? 🎉 WELCOME! Ask me for my promo code to save on your first pet service! Let me onboard you to this great community. • Vacationing with your pet? 🗺️ New pets and short-term daycare or house sitting are available! • Need a last-minute booking? 🤞 No problem! I’m flexible, dependable, and ready to treat your pet like part of my own family. • Sensitive pup or kitty? ❤️‍🩹 I got you! Customized care is available. There are zero breed preferences here. Give me your honest needs and best practices for your pet.

Katie is THAT pet sitter. We really cannot say enough of how confident we are leaving Katie to care for our Rudi, Pearl and home. She is attentive, kind and truly empathetic to fur friends and to the people who love them. We highly regard her care and hope to always have her as our pet person in any future vacations. We cannot imagine a more caring, competent person to care for pets and a home!

Katie helped us out in a pinch and dropped in on super short notice to give our dog relief and dinner when our day ran unexpectedly long. It was such a huge help!
