I currently work part time from home and go to school party time. Pet care is part of my daily life as a future veterinarian. I prioritize pets’ routines, exercise, attention, and safety while providing reliable, loving care.

Safety, trust & environment

I always try to keep your furry babies on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I provide lots of love, attention, playtime, walks, and make sure feeding and potty breaks stay on schedule. I also keep a close eye on their health and behavior. With my veterinary experience, I’m comfortable giving medications if needed and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.

Information Katherine R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has a history of anxiety, aggression towards other dogs or people, special needs, medical needs, or if you just have a specific routine they are used to. I like to be able to mimic that routine so they can feel as comfortable as possible while I step in when you are away.

A typical day

I love keeping pets active and happy! We can go on walks, play fetch or tug-of-war, enjoy outdoor time, and have plenty of playtime and cuddles. I also like providing enrichment activities and making sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they need based on their personality and energy level.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m an experienced veterinary assistant with 7+ years in the field and currently studying to become a veterinarian. I’m also certified in pet grooming and trained in pet emergency care and CPR. As a proud pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your fur babies. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including administering basic medical care and recognizing signs of illness or emergencies. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always provide reliable, attentive care. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members!

Katherine was absolutely incredible with my dog, Karlie. From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease knowing Karlie would be in such caring, capable hands. Katherine went above and beyond in every way, not only making sure Karlie was safe and well cared for, but truly treating her like her own. What stood out most was the genuine love and attention she gave. Katherine took the time to understand Karlie’s personality, routines, and little quirks, and made sure she felt comfortable and happy the entire time. I received thoughtful updates, which meant so much and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. When I picked Karlie up, it was clear she had been well-loved, exercised, and cared for. She was relaxed, happy, and clearly had formed a bond with Katherine—which says everything. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly exceptional, Katherine is the one. I would recommend her without hesitation and will absolutely be booking with her again. She is a rare find, and I am so grateful for the care she gave Karlie.

Katherine took great care of Ruffy and Ranger. She left the house cleaner then she found it and even bathed the dogs per our request which we really appreciated. She’s very pleasant and has a warm carrying energy about her. We especially like that she has vet tech experience since Ranger is a senior and currently recovering from ACL surgery that gave us extra piece of mind. I would definitely recommend Katherine if you want a worry, free weekend getaway, knowing your dogs are in good hands.
