Pet care experience
Grew up on a farm, love all animals
Hello! My name is Killian (he/him) and I’m a trans man. You may have previously known me as Katherine H. I’ve been working through Rover providing pet care since May 2023 and it is my full time work! I dabble in art and writing on the side too. My experience with non-human animals includes: 3 years of working with a Pomeranian breeder as an amateur groomer and enclosure cleaner as a teen, working with horse trainers as an aide, growing up on a farm caring for cows, chickens, ducks, geese, sheep, pigs, horses, dogs, cats, and other odd creatures. I raised and trained 6 different family dogs. I have 7 years of caring for my pet chameleon under my belt as well, she passed away in 2024 :(. I’ve pet sat many friends animals while they’re away and often picked up odd house and pet sitting jobs in my teen/early adult years. I lived with my siblings for 3 years who had a dog, and a cat, but I was not the primary caregiver for either of those animals, though I did assist with their care, and loved hanging out with, walking, and playing with my dog-phew Murphy, and giving pets to my cat-eice Xena. I’ve been doing petcare on and off Rover for over 3 years now, I have regular walking clients who keep me busy 4-5 hours a day, and lots of cat clients who regularly re-book with me. I love all the pets I get to work with, and am attached to my regulars (we are besties). My clients are my community and because of them I’ve been able to work for myself full time for a long while, have health insurance, adopty teenage goddaughter, and support my non-client community as well. My roommate and platonic life partner also does petcare through Rover, (Katie featured in photos) and if I’m not available to care for your pets she might be! She’s basically a Disney princess of a petcare provider. I also spend much of my free time around animals too, either an overnight client, or my girlfriend’s pitbull Kuu (also in the photos) we are best friends. So even though I don’t have a fur baby of my own, (right now) I will treat yours just like family!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
How I care for pets is really dependent on the owner and the pet. My procedure would be to interview the pet owner about what their pet usually needs, and stick to that as best I can. I’m autistic and good at following rules. I love going on long walks, to dog parks, giving pets, playing, and hanging out with animals of all kinds, while respecting their boundaries and knowing that not every pet loves that much attention. I like to think I can be the fun uncle, the best friend, the staycation buddy; or the designated poop scooper and food dispenser as needed!
Ratings and reviews
Killian is the best. He’s a great communicator and takes such great care of our pup who can be a handful. We’ve been lucky to have him walk / sit our dog for a couple of years now!
Killian took great care of our pup and our home and communicated frequent updates. Will definitely hire him again!
Killian did amazing! He was in contact about the boys every day and even made sure we were aware of a possible health issue. We will be booking with him again.
Katherine has watched my cat while I've been out of town several times now and always does a great job!
We feel very at ease when Killian is watching our girls. Will definitely re-book him again.
Katherine is the best! She watched my babies for 2 weeks while I was on vacation and took wonderful care of not only them but my home as well. This is the second time she’s watched them for me and the longest time I’ve been away from them so I was nervous but she sent regular updates and made sure they were well cared for and went above and beyond overall!

Schedule
My schedule can be very flexible. I do have 4-5 hours of client work a day typically, tho much more during the holidays. I also recently adopted a teenager so that takes up some of my time too, tho he loves to tag along and be around the animals too.
