Availability
I currently work an 8–5 job during the weekdays, with occasional availability during lunch hours for quick walks or drop-ins when my schedule allows. Outside of that, I have early mornings, evenings, and weekends available for pet sitting, walks, and check-ins. I’m a very dedicated and reliable person, and I’m more than happy to work with pet parents to accommodate more challenging or specific schedules whenever possible. My goal is always to make sure your pets are cared for consistently and comfortably, even when life gets busy.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home. I always make sure pets are supervised, kept on their normal routine as closely as possible, and given a calm, secure space where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I currently live in a large one-bedroom home that provides a clean, comfortable environment for pets. Right next to my home, there is a dedicated dog park and agility area, which is perfect for safe playtime, exercise, and enrichment. In addition, there is a long paved walking trail nearby, making walks both safe and enjoyable for dogs of all energy levels. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect all instructions and household routines closely, ensuring pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their safety, cleanliness, and overall well-being at all times.
Information Kathryn R. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about any special needs, medications, allergies, routines, or preferences your pet has. I want to make them as comfortable as possible and will do my best to maintain the schedule and habits they’re used to!
A typical day
Every pet deserves a fun and enriching experience while you’re away! During our time together, your pet will enjoy plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention tailored to their personality and energy level. For dogs, we can take walks, play outside, practice basic commands, enjoy puzzle toys, or simply spend quality time cuddling and relaxing. For pets who prefer a calmer pace, I’m happy to provide gentle companionship, enrichment activities, and lots of affection. My goal is to make sure your pet stays happy, active, and comfortable while maintaining the routine they’re used to at home.

Reliable and loving pet care.
Pet care experience
Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've cared for a wide variety of pets, including turtles, leopard geckos, and my two cats, giving me experience with both traditional and exotic animals. I've also been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since I was a child and am comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. For the past four years, my family has participated in the America's VetDogs program, raising and training multiple future service dogs. Through this experience, I've gained valuable skills in animal care, consistency, positive reinforcement, and handling dogs in a variety of settings. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, cuddles, or specialized care, I'll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals.

Reviews
I cannot recommend Katie enough! She has cared for both my dog and cat while I’ve been away on vacations, and I always return home knowing they were in great hands. She is dependable, communicative, and genuinely attentive to their needs. Whether it’s taking my dog on regular walks or making sure my cat is comfortable and well cared for, she goes above and beyond to provide excellent care. Having someone I can trust with my pets gives me tremendous peace of mind, and I would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
I highly recommend Katie as a pet sitter. She has been incredibly reliable and consistent in caring for my dog, always making sure walks are completed on schedule and that our established routines are followed. It gives me great peace of mind knowing my dog is receiving the same level of care and structure that he is used to when I’m away. She is responsible, attentive, and genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I would not hesitate to trust her with my dog again.
