Experienced animal lover/caretaker
Pet care experience
*COVID NOTES* I’m still taking clients, though fewer at a time. Business is slow for all of us on Rover these days, and so far I haven’t had any problems scheduling clients so that I have enough time to make sure I’m all disinfected between visits. I haven’t raised my rates yet, but may need to soon. If that’s a hardship for any animal parents I’ve worked with before just message me and I’ll make sure you get the usual rate 💙 Stay safe, everybody!! *Summer Doggo Walk Notes* Because of the heat in the summer months I’m raising my rates for walks till it cools down. Clients I’ve already seen who have dogs that don’t need the full 30 minutes outside should still feel free to contact me and I’ll adjust the rates to suit your particular needs. I’ve always had animals in my life, and am happiest when I’ve got them all around me. I currently have a 6 year old Pitt/lab mix who LOVES other dogs and is very gentle with, if annoyed by cats. I also have a kitten who loves all furry and non-furry friends. I’m actually a second-generation animal caretaker. My mother’s been in the same business since I was a kid. Having cared for many sick animals and those with disabilities, I have the necessary tricks up my sleeve to convince an impaired pup or kitty to take their meds and play. I’m not an expert in training dogs, but I’m not a novice either and am definitely capable of working with whatever rules you want followed in your house if given directions. I do have a lot of experience training cats, and dare say a talent. Most importantly, if you’re looking for someone to give your baby lots of love and care while you’re away, I’m definitely your girl.
Reviews
Kat is the best cat sitter we could have hoped for! From getting the mail to watering the plants, great care was taken in all aspects of our home, especially our pets!! They were happy and well taken care of upon our return.
As always, we trust Kat to do an amazing job taking care of our two kitties and our home!
Kat was awesome- she was on time and spent some time after the walk playing with Anya. She loved her! And there were a few special needs that Kat had no problem taking care of.
It was great having Kat come to check on our cats! She was very thorough in her reviews and spent quality time playing with them. Highly recommend!

My husband and I own a condo in a nice community near the Eno River. We don’t have a fenced backyard, but the trails are a short walk from our home and very puppy friendly!
Information Kat R. would like to know about your pet
I don’t have any breed preferences. That said, if your dog is on the bigger side I’d feel more comfortable knowing that they’re well behaved on walks. Basically I just want to make sure they’re not going to pull me over. Lol.
A typical day
I’d love to take your pup on a hike in the woods, or a swim in the creek if that’s your dog’s jam, and of course all of the snuggles and pets your pup desires.

Availability
Aside from a few flexible meetings during the week, I’m free most of the time. I do some freelancing from home - mostly research and writing - so I generally make my own schedule.
