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!

Ratings and reviews
Katie was great and sent me lots of updates and photos! I appreciate her flexibility in pick up and keeping my pup safe and happy while I was gone!
We couldn't be happier with the care Katherine provided for orur dog Parsnip over a long weekend! From the start, communication was seamless, and we received great updates with photos that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Parsnip was clearly happy, relaxed, and well-loved in her care. We are grateful for Katherine and wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for an attentive, trustworthy, and caring sitter!
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!!

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!
