I work in retail, so my work schedule varies week to week. However, a typical work day is around six hours. Additionally, I occasionally do drop-ins and walks. I am usually gone between two to three hours when I have drop-ins and walks scheduled.

Pet care experience

***I will be on vacation from April 12, 2026 to April 24, 2026. I will be out of contact during this time. If you would like to book services after April 24th, I will get back to you when I return. Thank you!*** *I do not charge for cats unless I am sitting for or dropping in on only cats. If your cat is charged on the itinerary, please let me know so I can remove them. Thank you!* I have been a responsible dog guardian personally and professionally for 22 years. My first dog was a chow chow who I loved for seven years, and my second is a dachshund/chihuahua mix who I've been loving for almost eight years. I have volunteered several weekends at the Humane Society of Northwest Georgia and the Humane Society of Jefferson County. I have been pet sitting professionally for nearly eight years. Additionally, I cared for the dogs of the families for who I used to babysit. I enjoy loving, caring for, and being active with all breeds of all sizes. My greatest passion in life is animals, so getting to hang out with them everyday is a dream come true. I can't wait to love your fur baby!

Katy was top-notch once again! She stayed with our cat, Talia, who seemed to be quite comfortable with Katy. Katy was prompt to the scheduled service and took care to attend to Talia's needs. Katy left our home in the same neat condition as when we left. She is a trustworthy and kind person who responds quickly, adheres to special requests, is committed to ensuring our pet and home are safe, and we trust her completely. Thank you, Katy, for helping us out with such a short notice! We will definitely be using your services again!

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.
