Pet care experience
Hello! Please feel free to contact me! The most important thing to me is that your pet is comfortable in their own home. I can come to your house, I can stay at your house, and your pet will never have to be in a new place overnight. In addition to dogs, I have extensive experience with equine, swine, cattle, and even reptiles. I have worked with and have owned horses from Shetlands to Belgian Draft Horses. I understand how difficult it can be to find someone to care for your farm animals while you are away and how stressful it can be on you. Lower the stress and combine the three - dogsitting, housewatching AND animal care. I do work full-time but I know my schedule ahead of time and am willing to work around yours as well -- thus, booking in advance is recommended!
Reviews
Katie was amazing! Very informative and professional. Sent photos and updates regularly and put our nerves at ease. Will definitely rebook in the future!
Katie was great with our dog sully!! Sent daily updates, was very thorough during the meet and greet, and treated him like he was her own dog. Definitely recommend her!
We love Katie - she is fantastic in the seriousness and professionalism she brings to making sure our pets are well cared for. Three senior calicos and a high energy dog are quite an job, but she cares for them and the house beautifully.
Katie was very communicative and thorough at the meet and greet, while assessing the needs of our dog. She explained the Rover process and we discussed the plan for her stay with our dog. She cared for our dog like she was her own. We will request Katie again in the future.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is top priority! I know animal cpr and I always keep safety in mind when designing any activities. Trusting your pet and your home with someone can be scary - it shouldn't be.
Information Katie R. would like to know about your pet
I have a soft spot for Bully breeds, but love and care for all other breeds equally. I honestly have worked with everything from a Wolfhound to a Chihuahua. I prefer to know: the regular schedule, personality/behavior quirks, any aggression, how he or she handles other animals, etc.
A typical day
I love to have animals go on adventures with me. While I'm dogsitting, that dog will be treated as a family member. This means hiking, waterfalling, exploring, and even shopping. Have an odd request? Chances are I can honor it.
