About: I bring 25 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs, plus years of helping family and friends care for theirs too. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog like they’re my own—with warmth, patience, and gentle care. From snuggles and belly rubs to walks, playtime, and companionship, my goal is to become your pet’s trusted best friend while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re loved, safe, and happy. I currently work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide your dog with the time, attention, and care they need while you’re away or at work. I can easily follow your pet’s regular schedule for feedings, walks, playtime, and potty breaks to help them feel comfortable and cared for. While I may occasionally step out for errands or school drop-offs/pick-ups for my kids, your pet would never be left alone for long periods and would still receive plenty of love, companionship, and attention throughout the day. My goal is to work with your schedule while making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved. Your dog will be welcomed into a warm, loving home environment where they can feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I have a friendly Yorkie poo who loves companionship and can be a built-in buddy for your pup. My home also has a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, play, and potty breaks. With children in the home, your dog will be around plenty of love, attention, and gentle interaction. Unless you prefer otherwise, dogs are welcome to roam freely and make themselves at home. I’m also happy to follow your specific preferences, whether that means crating, setting up a designated space, or sticking to routines that help your pet feel most comfortable. My priority is creating a safe, fun, and caring environment tailored to your dog’s needs.
“Ashley was wonderful! She made sure to send us pictures everyday of the pups and update us with any concerns she had. The pups seemed to be right at home with her and we were able to feel at ease knowing they were in good hands while we were out of the country. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again! 🐶”

About: I’ve taken care of pets of all kinds since I was very young. Growing up in a family that always had a dog around, and taking care of family and neighbors pets while they were on vacation has given me a lot of experience. As an adult, I’ve always had pets of my own. I currently work full time as a teacher, and I will take dogs for a walk in the morning before leaving to work. I am usually home at 3:15 pm, easily providing them another break as soon as I get home. During the summer and on holidays, I am home all day. I live in a townhouse without a fenced yard, but I provide walks to the animals I am carrying for every 2-3 hours. I can also accommodate small pets that are used to using a wee wee pad. I have plenty of room inside for pets to play.

Wellington dog parents share their Rover experiences
Katie did a fantastic job caring for our two dogs. She was 100% reliable, prompt, and followed all of our instructions “to a T”. But most importantly, the dogs absolutely loved her — and that is saying a lot because they are both rescues (of course!) and our boy is actually very fearful and timid around new people. It was clear from the first meeting that Katie knows how to read canine body language and win over even scared or wary dogs. I felt totally comfortable leaving my babies in her capable hands, and she did not disappoint. She also assisted with the senior paraplegic foster dog we were caring for at the time of her visits, and was very capable of helping him to stand up and go potty using his special back-end lift harness, which can be a challenge for some people to get used to. In general, Katie went above and beyond and was super flexible and willing to accommodate our somewhat unusual needs. I wholeheartedly recommend her, as a loving, gentle, responsible and fully competent caretaker for dogs or cats of all ages, temperaments, and sizes. This is the pet sitter you want when only the best will do for your beloved four-legged family members!!
We used Kristine for the first time yesterday and could not be more pleased! She was punctual and very good with our dogs and was even kind enough to send us a picture of them doing well. I would highly recommend her to anyone wishing that their fur babies are taken such good care of!
Harmony was wonderful with our pup! He can be a little daunting at first with his big bark but that didn’t bother her at all. She was so sweet with him, and honestly we were so happy that we found someone who just instantly understood him. She let us know when she was on the way, when she arrived, and when she was headed out - couldn’t have asked for better communication, and we’re really excited that our pup will have a new friend! 100% recommend her! :)
