Hi! I'm your fur baby's new aunt!

Pet care experience

I've had cats my entire life, and my husband and I currently have two amazing kitties, Izzy (a big, sassy 18 lb "mini tiger"). I have grown up in a very close, tight-knit family with LOTS of dogs and cats, and I've pet-sat more times than I can count. I LOVE animals and they tend to like me as well. I have experience with feeding, medicine, walking, vet visits, picking up animals from pet hotels, etc. I pet sit, house sit, and babysit for a lot of my family and friends, have been a nanny to my godson who has medical complications, and am well-trusted. My husband and I are saving up to adopt a child, and at least 25% of all revenue from my Rover will go towards our adoption fund. We would really appreciate your support while your pet gets great care in exchange!

Katie was on time and quick to respond. She was sweet with the cat and our cat loves her. Highly recommend!

Katie was fabulous!! Our dog was so happy and content when we got home. Her updates were thorough and joyful and it was so fun to receive them while we were out of town. I’d HIGHLY recommend Katie!

I am not able to keep pets at my home. I am able to go to the house site and take care of your fur babies, however, and spend time at your place to give your darlings some affection, give medicine, or whatever else you need done!

Information Katie U. would like to know about your pet

I want to know everything about your pet, from medical conditions to likes and preferences so that I can take care of them as well as you do!

A typical day

I love to give your pet attention in the form of pets, cuddles, and playing with any and all of their favorite toys! If they don't want that much attention, I'm more than happy to do whatever else you'd like me to while I'm there, and just keep them company.
