Safety, trust & environment

I have two of the most spoiled cats in the world, they both eat a balanced diet that is monitored through an automatic feeder and we use a litter robot! I also have a stroller that I take them on walks with! When I pet sit, I respect the owners wishes and follow their directions as closely as possible. I want owners to feel that their pets are safe and happy under my care.

Information Kaitlyn R. would like to know about your pet

Your dog’s happiness and comfort are my top priorities! To ensure they have the best experience with me, I love to learn about their unique personality. Such as any triggers or fears they may have, their likes and dislikes, and all their favorite activities, treats, and toys. By understanding what makes your dog feel safe and joyful, I can tailor my care to meet their needs and create a fun, loving, and stress-free environment. I’m excited to get to know your furry friend and make their time with me as enjoyable as possible!

A typical day

I’m all about making sure your dog has the best time possible by joining in on their favorite activities, whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch in the backyard, or anything else they love! I also enjoy incorporating mental stimulation into our time together by practicing commands or engaging in enrichment activities. I’m dedicated to providing a fun and enriching experience for your furry friend!

Dedicated to quality care🤎

Pet care experience

With a lifelong love for animals of all shapes and sizes, I’m dedicated to providing the best care for your pets. I spent four rewarding years as a volunteer trainer with 4 Paws for Ability, where I raised and helped train five service dogs from just 10 weeks old through to passing their certification at 18 months. At home, I’m a proud cat parent to two spoiled fur babies, whom I adore and care for wholeheartedly. My experience also includes working with small animals like bunnies and guinea pigs through my involvement in 4-H during my childhood. I would be thrilled to care for your pets and promise to treat them with the same love and attention as my own. While I work full-time, I’m available most weekends and offer evening drop-in visits to ensure your pets receive the care they need. Let me give your furry friends the love and attention they deserve!

Katie is great. Our dogs love her and they give her zoomies every time they see her-she sends the videos and great pictures. We highly recommend her.

Katie is great! Our dogs really love her and while they miss us, we know they are in wonderful hands. She keeps us very well informed the whole time we're gone and we really appreciate all that she does for them.

SO elated that I found Katie to help out when I sent a rather last minute request for some drop in visits. This was my first booking with Rover and Katie was fantastic through the whole process. During the meet and greet, she was extremely thorough and asked all the right questions leaving me at ease. She was prompt, followed all instructions, respectful of my home, and was so communicative during the visits. I got so many photos and updates as well. It was a huge relief to know my pup was happy and safe with Katie. He looked so happy in the photos she sent. What a great first experience. THANK YOU KATIE!! Hope to use you again!
