Highlights
Pet care experience
Balanced Dogs For Balanced Humans
Dogs are an amazing mirror of how we are feeling. I believe everyone wants to feel calm and balanced and I try to approach every dog interaction with this in mind. My lifestyle isn't great to own my own my own pet (I travel out of town about once a month) so I love to hang out with other people's instead :) *Unfortunately I am allergic to cats* so I only provide in-home sitting for dog-only households, and prefer extended care (like while someone is on a trip) to 1-day daycare type situations.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Home is a special place! I treat everyone's home with utmost respect. Growing up in the midwest, being a polite guest and generous host were some of the most important things and I carry those values with me today.
Ratings and reviews
Georgie absolutely loved her time with Katy! It was so nice to have a sitter who paid such close attention to my dog’s needs and sent daily updates of the great time they were having. When I returned home I could barely tell anyone had been staying in my place it was so spotless and tidy, exactly as I left it. Will definitely be booking Katy again, she’s very attentive and respectful, and Georgie would say she’s a very fun adventure buddy.

Thanks, Katy! You were wonderful, as always!
Katy was incredible at making my new rescue pup feel safe and comfortable right away. I recently adopted my dog from a shelter and needed to travel soon after, and she was still quite very anxious and fearful. Katy handled her with so much care and patience so she could continue to relax and settle in in my absence. This was my first time using Rover and having an in-home sitter, and Katy gave me complete peace of mind throughout the full experience. I’m so grateful for her help and will look forward to working with her again in the future.

I think I may have liked Katy even more than my dog! She was our first experience with Rover and it turned out to be everything I hoped. She took wonderful care of my dog (who needed medication), left our house in excellent condition, and she communicated every day to let us know how our pet was doing. She also sent cute photos every day! Most importantly, she proved to be very trustworthy. You will be in excellent hands if you ask Katy to care for your pet!

Katy has dog sat for us several times and she is always our go to sitter. She not only takes care of our Kellus but she takes him on walks and is training him to not pull on the leash. She also takes him to our dog park at Dog PPL. Katy is super responsible and responsive. We can always travel with ease knowing Katy is taking care of everything at home.

Katy is the best dog sitter we have ever had. She goes above and beyond to be kind and thoughtful. She has stayed at our house with our dogs for weeks while we travel abroad always taking the best care of Piper and Kaya, our high energy Border Collie/Aussie Shepherds. They go on hikes and all sorts of fun adventures with Katy. Our house is always left spotless. She is very communicative, responsible and easy going. We even had Katy fly out to Kauai to watch our dogs when we moved there temporarily after the Palisades fires. We highly recommend Katy.

Schedule
I run my own business in music licensing which is a big challenge and super rewarding. One of the best parts is that it allows me to design my own schedule every day of the week so I'm able to plan around a dog's routine.
