Comfortable Home with Loving Care

Pet care experience

As a Wildlife Biologist I have always had a passion for animals and it brings me great pleasure to love and care for dogs. All my life I have lived with dogs of all shapes and sizes, from Great Danes to Chihuahuas, and I would love to have some play time with your dogs! I have been dog sitting for my family and friends for years, and have experience working at Faithful Friends Animal Shelter. I would love to welcome your dog to my family. Feel free to call me at any time if you have any questions! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog/animal lover all of my life. As a child I grew up with dogs in my household and have had a special bond with them ever since I can remember. Dogs to me are not considered pets, they are a part of my family! My experience administering medication I worked at an animal shelter for 2 years where I fed, bathed, and gave medication to cats and dogs.

Katie was so good with my Senior boy. He was so happy when I got home. I would totally recommend Katy. Xo

We used Katie after a last minute cancellation from another sitter. Katie responded immediately to our request and came out within a couple days to do a Meet & Greet. Katie arrived with her notebook in hand to make sure she made note of all information she would need. Katie communicated with me and sent me lots of pics and our 3 dogs seemed very happy and comfortable with her. We will definitely use Katie again!

My Zoey can be a handful sometimes, but Katie was great! She sent me updates and pictures during Zoeys stay with her. I would definitely recommend her to others and I would definitely use her again! Zoey clearly had a wonderful time with her as she came and passed out for hours!!

Information Katie R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the basics including: how much they eat, their age, any allergies, and their exercise requirements. I would also like to know if they have any negative habitats like chewing so that I can be prepared!

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I can take your dogs on walks for 30 minutes or more at your request. I would be happy to walk your dogs around the neighborhood or if you would like I can take them to your local dog park or wherever you typically go to walk your dog. Time I'll spend with your dog I would be spending as much time as possible depending on my schedule for that day. Usually I am only at work for for 4-7 hours so the rest of the day would be spent with the dogs!
