I have had a love for animals my whole life and been watching animals since I was 15. I know CPR and first aid for humans along with animals. I also have experience working at rescue shelters and humane societies. Spending time with your animals gives me the ability to de-strees while I can't have animals of my own, because of wanting to travel. I love animals like they are my own kids (if I had any) I give the best to them and think of their needs before even mine. I love their kisses and happy faces! I love finding their favorite places that they love scratches! I often times can be found even cussing on the floor with pets 😂Most of all I will shower your animals with kisses, walks and love!

I met Katie prior to the booked stayed and thought she seemed really sweet and reliable. Then she showed up 3 hours late after confirming the time that day which means the dogs ate hours late. When I returned home my house was FILTHY. There was mud on my furniture, my mattress protector- which is now ruined, all over my floors, and a dog bed was destroyed- also has been thrown away. I specifically asked her to wipe the dogs paws because it was raining out all weekend. The mud was caked on them so bad I had to immediately take the dogs to be bathed. Also, the dogs had NO WATER. The bowl was bone freaking dry and its a 148 OZ bowl, which tells me that the dogs didnt have water for at least 24 hours. The lack of care is insane to me. I feel so bad that I left my pups and will NOT be using her (or Rover at this point) again. DO NOT RECCOMMEND!!!! I tried to express my concerns to Katie and did not receive a reply. I have contacted Rover support to help rectify the issues I mentioned.

Overall happy with her and her love for the pups. She spoiled them while we were gone and sent a handful of pics and videos to show how happy they were. Felt bad, a faucet broke while we were gone in our guest room bathroom. We offered to send someone to fix it but she managed without. We had a last min cancellation with another sitter too and she was willing to extend her stay. Thank you for caring for the doggos while we were gone. :-)

Katie was amazing! She went above and beyond to care for our newly adopted rescue pup and two spicy cats!

It was not a good experience. I ended up cutting my trip short, which included extra expenses to change flights, to pick up my dog early. I was sick with worry when I was getting text messages cussing about my dog and I was afraid he’d just be let out on the streets before I came home.

Katie and Adam took such great care of our girl, Raina! The sent pics, videos, and updates often enough to make us feel better about being away from her. We felt great about the care they gave Raina, and are glad that she will have sitters in the future who are going to take such great care of her! We will be rebooking :) thanks you guys!
