Pet care experience

Your fur babies are in good paws 🐾

Hello! 🌸 My name is Katie 🐾 I have been pet-sitting since I was in high school, and I love working with and spending time with animals! I am a caring, efficient, mindful, and attentive animal-lover who will treat your beloved pets as if they were my own. 😊 Not only have I cared for other pets in numerous other families, but my large family has consistently added loving new additions throughout my own life as well. ❤️ Growing up, Ive taken care of many pets: Dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles, tortoises, snakes, and fish! Oh my! There have been many occasions during my pet-sitting career where I have taken care of outside farm animals. And I’m comfortable with it because I also grew up on a small farm! I am comfortable with farm animals such as chickens, turkeys, rabbits, goats, and pigs! 😁 I can help with just about anything! 😌 🐕🐈🐈‍⬛🐇🦜🦎🐢🐍🐠🐄🐑🐎🐖 Not to mention, I volunteered for two years at the Verde Valley Humane Society, volunteered for Mourning Dove Banding and the fish hatchery with Game and Fish, and I assisted a Wildlife Rehabilitation Facility recently for an undergraduate internship! 😄 Most of the jobs I have done personally for people have been overnight pet-sitting, so I am comfortable with taking care of your pets, watching after, and being in your home for extended stay. I will always bring a gentle and comforting presence into your home, and make sure to abide by any rules and keep your home clean! 🏡 I can consider my schedule to meet your needs for overnight stays, drop-ins, walks, feeding or bathing, socialization, etc. If you need me to do anything specific, just ask! I can stick to feeding schedules, medication administration, and I'm also pretty decent at basic dog training! 😉 Thank you so much for stopping by my page and reading! 🥰🌸

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

During visits or overnight stays I will follow any instructions to care for your pets, and complete simple chores for your home as well. (For example, I have brought in mail, watered plants, and watched over homes!) I am respectful of house rules and I always make sure to be careful and courteous while in your home. I am able to play with, feed, cuddle, bathe, and walk your pets if instructed. Ask, and I am almost always willing to try to help in any way I can!

Katie is amazing and our new go-to person! My cats warmed up to her right away and immediately felt comfortable to cuddle right up to her. She of course is very professional and loving and took time out of her holiday time to spend quality time with my cats. We will definitely be booking again with Katie 🐱🤍

Katie is great! She stayed at my house twice to watch my dogs and chickens. The dogs were immediately drawn to her and I was comfortable leaving my home and pets with Katie. Highly recommend!

Hello! My name is Jaron I have two dogs (One lab greyhound mix and one shiba Inu) and one bird (Goffins Cockatoo) Katie is a close friend of mine who graciously took care of them all while I was visiting hospital My bird took an instant liking to her and my pups might actually still be waiting by the door for her to return She is empathetic and caring. Respectful and responsible. And I would gladly accept her help again. I highly endorse her for any position knowing she can rise to the challenge. She is a truly amazing person

Feel free to message me what days and times you might need because I am currently working from home! So if you need a sitter I am happy to help. If you need overnight or weekend help I would be able to stay at your home and help out no problem. Usually I can adjust to your needs if I have enough time in advance. Just let me know and I’m sure we can work something out!

Ahead of time, I would like to know if there are any special medications that need to be administered while I watch your fur baby and the name of your primary veterinarian, as a precaution. I also always ask about your dog or cats behavioral patterns (are they energetic or calm, do they do well around other animals, etc). And it’s always beys to know what their favorite toy is, so we can make sure they are well looked after!
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.
