“I couldn’t be more grateful to have found such a wonderful puppy sitter! Kellie has a genuine love and deep understanding of animals, which shines through in the way she cares for my puppy, Charlie. From the moment they met, she connected with him, and now he’s always excited when it’s time for daycare. She’s incredibly caring, responsible, and always on top of things. I completely trust her to care for my pup while I’m at work all day — that peace of mind is priceless. Her communication is excellent, she keeps me updated, and she’s always punctual and dependable. It’s clear she treats every animal like her own, and I feel so lucky to have someone so dedicated looking after my fur baby. Highly recommend!”
“Stacey was an excellent sitter for my dog Murphy. He had a great day with her and her two cute pups, lots of play time and walks. I got regular updates. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Manli was extremely prompt with her communication:D we had a last minute change in work schedule and she was able to accommodate both our 3yr old Rusty and 6 month old puppy Ruby! They seemed like they had a great time:)”
“Silvana took incredible care of my very anxious dog. He typically has separation anxiety and takes a while to get use to a new place, but she made him feel comfortable right away. She took him on walks, took him to the park to play with another dog he felt comfortable with, and made sure I was updated throughout the day with pictures and videos. When I went to pick him up he gave her kisses goodbye :) We absolutely will re-book with Silvana. Thank you, Silvana, for taking such great care of Jackson!”
“Yayyyy Bruno and I are SO happy to have found Olga! Bruno was at ease right when we got there, hung out with the dogs, went on walks and even explored her yard on his own. Olga cares for your pups like they're her own. My little anxious Bruno will be cozying up to her and the pups in no time!”
About: I offer a calm, personalized environment by caring for only a few dogs at a time—never more than three—so each pup gets plenty of attention. I have experience with senior dogs and dogs who need special routines, and I’m comfortable reinforcing training or providing gentle, senior-friendly care. My backyard is fully fenced for safe, comfortable outdoor play, and my own mellow, friendly dog makes a wonderful companion for visiting pups. I send regular photo and video updates, so you’ll always know your dog is happy, relaxed, and in good hands. I work from home, with a flexible schedule, so I’m around all day to hang out with the pups, give them potty breaks, and sneak in some playtime between work tasks. We usually start and end the day with a walk, and in between there’s plenty of supervised backyard playtime. In my home, dogs enjoy a balanced mix of structure, play, and plenty of affection. I keep a calm, relaxed atmosphere and follow each pup’s routine as closely as possible—from feeding schedules to favorite toys and nap spots—so they feel right at home. Dogs have regular potty breaks and safe outdoor play in my fully fenced backyard, and I’m always close by to supervise. I host no more than three dogs at a time, ensuring each one gets individual attention, along with companionship from my mellow, friendly resident dog.

“Charlie had a wonderful time with Ian! Ian was punctual and informative. Even though he puppysat for 12 hours I received many pictures of their day together. I felt like Charlie wasn't even gone.

Would happily recommend Beni and look forward to seeing him regularly on Tuesdays!”

About: Hi, I'm Kathryn! I’m an experienced, compassionate pet sitter offering personalized care, daily dog walks, and overnight stays. I work from home full-time as a journalist, which means your pup will have constant companionship, plenty of belly rubs, and lots of love. My passion for animals runs deep—I grew up at my mom’s dog daycare, where I was immersed in dog behavior training and care from an early age. We had labs growing up, and some of my favorite memories are of taking them on long adventures in the woods. These days, my partner and I share our home with our sweet shepherd mix, Ozzy. I’ve spent the last eight years caring for dogs while I lived all over the country. This is my first time on Rover, and I’m excited to build meaningful relationships with both pets and their people. I believe pet care should be accessible—not overpriced—so I strive to offer affordable, high-quality service that gives you peace of mind. We live in a beautiful, pet-friendly apartment with a secure back courtyard and quick access to local parks for playtime and walks. Your pet will be treated like family—safe, loved, and happy while you're away. For boarding and daycare requests, I will be joined by my own dog Ozzy. If your dog prefers not to be around a young dog, then it may not be a fit. Looking forward to connecting! As a journalist who works from home, I’m lucky to have a flexible schedule—and I love using it to give animals the attention, care, and fun they deserve. With tenderness, love, and dedicated attention, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment tailored to your pet’s unique needs. I can’t wait to meet your wonderful companion and make them feel right at home!
“Brisket had a great time with Danae, and it was so nice that she had a backyard he could sun himself in. Danae was super flexible with scheduling and we felt super confident leaving Brisket with her for the day. Would definitely recommend and book with her again!”

Gracie can be a difficult dog to watch because she is sometimes reactive to men and can be really anxious, but Kathryn is able to calm and care for her. Kathryn has created a strong, loving bond with Gracie that I deeply appreciate. I have also seen Kathryn dogsit for other difficult dogs when we were roommates, and she has done so with kindness and patience - always knowing that the dog is just trying to do their best in the surroundings they are in. I would recommend Kathryn 5 stars!!!”
