Because I have a full-time job in Richland, not all puppies will be a great fit for me. However, if you’re close enough to my workplace, I have the flexibility to take extra time during my lunch to give them potty breaks and playtime. My workweek alternates between two different schedules. For example, in Week 1, I work from Monday to Thursday from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM, and then I’m out of the office on Wednesday at 1:00 PM. On Friday, I work from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. In Week 2, I work from Monday to Thursday from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM, and then I’m off on Friday.

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to maintain routines that are as similar to yours as possible. Safety and trust are of utmost importance to me, so I always make sure to discuss how your dog reacts during walks with people and other animals.

I love to stimulate your dogs both physically and mentally. We'll play a bunch of games, check out all the smells in your neighborhood or simply lots of cuddles 🥰

I welcome and love all dogs!

Pet care experience

Let me shower your pups with love while you're away ! I was a dog groomer for 4yrs on Beaver Island, Mi. I started my Rover career as well as K9 training in Nashville, Tn and continued for 6yrs. I have loved and cared for many families there. Since I have moved back home I now have a full-time job as an optician but still have plenty of time and would be honored to stay in your home (plus get my doggy or kitty fix) I have experience in handling many different breeds and sizes. I can easily adjust to different situations and am used to handling many different behaviors and personalities. I have always been an animal lover and volunteer at animal shelters. I really enjoy spending time and playing with all dogs and look forward to watching yours!

Kat was the best rover sitter we’ve had! She cared for our dog like it was her own. She went above and beyond, like grooming him and taking him for walks around our neighborhood, which was not expected at all. She had great communication throughout. We are so grateful for her and will definitely book her again!

Kat is always incredible and I have zero stress knowing she is staying with my ‘kids’.

Awesome job. One of our pups is usually very skeptical of new people but he took to Kat immediately. He’s a good judge of character. Thanks
