Safety, trust & environment

Your critters’ safety and wellbeing is my No. 1 priority. My dog Wilma had significant health and behavioral issues and I know how scary it can be to trust your fur baby's wellbeing to someone new. Dogs in my care are never left unattended and never walked without a leash. If there are foods or treats your pup can't eat, I want to know. If there are health or safety concerns, I want to talk to you about them. If your fur baby has dog aggression or behavioral issues, tell me about them. I guarantee, I can handle it all.

Information Kat R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any behavioral, health issues or allergies. It is important that I know if your pup is social with other dogs or if there are foods they can't eat, or if there are symptoms or health issues i ned to watch out for. The more I know about your pup, the better I can keep them healthy and safe!

A typical day

Tell me about your dog's favorite toys and games! Does your dog like long walks or short strolls? I love to play and walk and run, so if your dog needs to burn off some energy, I can help!

Pet care experience

PLEASE READ: Flexible availability for walks and drop-in visits Thursdays-Sundays. Please check with me for availability. Thank you! Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! *** Hello pet parents! I’m Kat and I moved to Marion in June 2026, but I have years of experience with all types of animals. I am still getting familiar with the city, but I am eager to meet you and help you with your pets! I am a huge animal lover and I am so looking forward to getting to know your critters. Growing up I had dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, mice, hamsters, iguanas and frogs, so I’ve cared for all sorts of critters, but from the age of 5 I’ve always had a dog by my side. All my dogs have been large breeds and many have had health and/or behavioral issues, so I can handle a wide range of temperaments and dog behaviors. I’m also experienced with cats, rabbits, horses and a wide variety of rodents, reptiles and amphibians. I can even check on your bees too if you have them!

Kat is simply the best. Will 10/10 request her any time in Cedar Rapids with my puppies. I’ve never had any worries with her and she’s so communicative with me.
