Pet care experience
I have been an animal lover since as long as I can remember, I have been caring for animals since my first pet betta, Rainbow. But my first dog, Kramer-who I had for almost 16 years is what really started it all. My experience with pet care has blossomed over the past 5 years, where I spent the last as a General Manager at a very busy doggy daycare, spa and boarding company. I have recently made the decision to quit my position to further build my own business in the pet care industry that is not limited to just dogs. I currently live with my Bugg, my cat and my 4 bettas. I have 5 years experience through a large company with doggy daycare, boarding, spa services, & medicating dogs. I have 2 years experience with horse care. I have several years of experience with fish, chicken, quail, duck, small rodent and rabbits.. Limited experience with snakes &small reptiles (although I have fed them) Insured through Pet Sitter Associates & have completed the Red Cross Cat & Dog First Aid program. Since I just left my full time job I offer incredibly flexible hours along with more one on one time for your loved ones! Respect is important to me, I will always leave your residence looking clean and tidy as it should. It is in my fullest belief that pets are more than just family, to me they are everything. Any animal I come across I treat them as my own. I take photos, videos and make report cards. I am happy to text or e-mail with updates as well. Inclement weather policy: I will get up early on days with winter weather forecasts to check local roads & let you know if I’ll be able to make it.
Reviews
Katie was absolutely amazing. Our retriever was quite anxious about us leaving, and she quickly calmed him. He was great with her. Both of the pups were happy and behaved as though we never left. We will definitely be reaching out again!
Katie is so great with our pups. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the day to check in. We are so thankful we have found her ❤️
Katie was delightful! A total pro and our dogs loved her. We will absolutely recommend and book again.
5 stars, 100/10 as usual! Katie is the absolute best.

I have worked with many different types of residences, so whatever I need to do to ensure safety of your pet please let me know. If they have a certain routine, a safe spot, a crate you let me know and I will ensure it's done how it should be.
Information Katie R. would like to know about your pet
I’m willing to work with you on what best fits your dogs needs. Dogs thrive on routine and I want them to feel like you are not even gone when I’m with them. Please let me know what works best with your pup so they can always have wagging tails. Please let me know about allergies, any health conditions , behavior issues and or fears your pet may have. That way I can provide the safest care!
A typical day
I love adventures just as much as your pets do, I’m happy to go on walks, hikes or even dog park visits . I also love working on mind stimulation activities with dogs using puzzles and rewards of course with their diet kept in mind.

This is my full time career, I spend my days at home with my own pets and then Monday -Friday I typically have my regular dog walks mid day and then I leave the rest of my time open for others who need care for their pets!
