Highlights
Pet care experience
Excited to meet you and your dog!
Hi! You can call me Katie. When I was in 3rd grade, I wrote a story from my dog’s perspective for a school assignment. Since then, my love of dogs has only grown. I’ve cared for friends’ dogs since I was a teenager. I can’t wait to meet yours!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Katherine was a great pet sitter for Ushi! My girl is admittedly high energy and Katherine did a really good job with her, as well as communicating with me. Would definitely recommend!
Katie is fantastic! She watched our dog Lilly over the 4th of July weekend and helped our scared baby make it through fireworks and thunderstorms. She sent pictures and updates everyday. We will absolutely use her again!
Katherine was very responsive and accommodating! Our pup was a bit nervous on her first night, but Katherine made it clear she was genuinely invested in making her comfortable. Will definitely book with her again :)
Katherine R. is the best!! We left her for the first time with our two dogs, one who is very old and has more recently been struggling with her mobility, and one who is very young and wild! I'd been so worried about leaving them at home but Katherine took amazing care of both of them! She showered them with love and attention. She kept me informed with photos and updates. As an added perk, she left the house so perfectly clean and tidy! My only hesitation in leaving this review is that I don't want her to get too busy with other dogs - we can not wait to have Katherine back again soon!!
Katie was fantastic with our two pups while we were on a trip. Very attentive and provided tons of feedback and photos. She left our house in great shape and we will definitely be using here again. Would highly recomend if in need of a house/dog sitter.
Katie is one of the best pet caregivers I have met. She just loves dogs and is super responsible, loves to get out on walks and take the dog, and is a kind and thoughtful person. She is also good under pressure so if something unexpected happens she can be counted on to keep her cool and bring the situation to a positive resolution.

Schedule
I typically work from home 1-2 days a week and have flexibility with which days are remote. On these days, I can be with your dog all day. I work 9-5pm M-F, and I do not work on weekends and have flexible availability.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am minutes away from Wicker Park, the Wicker Park dog park, and the 606 walking trail. I love cuddles and play time, and welcome doggos to join me on the couch and my bed!
A typical day
There are lots of options that your dog and I can do together! We can explore the neighborhood, go to the dog park, or walk on the 606 Trail. I will happily give and accept cuddles if your dog wants them!
