Information Katy M. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know your dog’s behavioral and personality traits, favorite activities, typical routine, any health concerns/medications, feeding schedule, and exercise requirements. For overnight stays, their sleep routine as well. Would be happy to do a meet and greet before your dog’s first stay!

A typical day

Your dog will have plenty of outdoor playtime in a large, clean, fenced in space. We can also go for walks in the neighborhood, have treats, play with toys and I will send photos and updates throughout the day. We have many toys here or feel free to bring their favorites.

Pet care experience

I understand how stressful it can be to leave your dogs behind while working or traveling. I provide a clean, quiet home for your pup with personalized attention so you can be sure they are safe and happy while you’re away! 🐶 I have a fenced in yard, live in a quiet neighborhood and work from home full time. I have a sweet Golden Retriever who gets along great with other dogs. I have experience caring for senior dogs, puppies, dogs with medical conditions, and pregnant mothers. I will keep you updated regularly with their activities so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

We so appreciate Katy for taking such great care of our digs Corra and Freya. We were in town for a wedding from RI and camping. She made me comfortable with leaving them and sent pictures. This was our first time using Rover on the road and it was a great experience. Also when we are back in the area we would use Katy again. Thank you Katy!

Katy took good care of our dog, Obi. I appreciated the updates and pictures she sent during his stay. Katy was easy to communicate with and was willing to be flexible with the drop off and pick up times. That was very helpful. I would recommend Katy and will use her again.

Katy was wonderful. This was our first booking using Rover and I was nervous but optimistic. Katy sent us pictures and updates throughout Gibson’s stay. It was very reassuring he was well taken care of. Thank you Katy!

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.
