Experienced Pet Owner Ready to Help

Pet care experience

Hello and welcome! I'm very comfortable handling and taking care of all kinds of animals because of I've been around them my whole life. I've been taking care of dogs, cats, and rabbits since I was a kid--around 24 years worth of experience! I also volunteered for 3 years at two different humane societies as a cat socializer and kennel cleaner. (Great Plains SPCA & Champaign County Humane Society) Furthermore, I'm certified in cat and dog first aid by the Red Cross.

Katie was wonderful and patient with my senior chihuahuas. Very professional and did exactly what needed to be done. Would definitely recommend!

Katie did a fantastic job watching our two cats over the holidays! She communicated super well with us when our water fountain wasn’t working and kept our cats happy and healthy! Thank you Katie!

Best sitter ever! My cat PJ loves her and he doesn’t like anybody! I never have to worry when I go on vacation because I know he’s in great hands!

Safety, trust & environment

Whenever I pet-sit or drop-in, I will stick to the routines that you already have established at home, so your pet will hardly be able to tell you're gone!

Information Katie R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs. I'll be sure to accommodate them to the best of my ability. Also, it will be great to know if they have any unique quirks or habits that I need to be prepared for while they're under my care. (For example, our black lab Kale loves to hug people or our cat Sasha will dart out the front door if given the chance.)

A typical day

Whether a walk around the neighborhood, fetch in the grass, or a snuggle on the couch, I'll make sure your pet has a stimulating and fun experience that is perfect for them. Whatever makes both you and your pet happy.

Availability

I'm only available for drop-ins during the weekend. If it is a pet whom I can drop-in on any time or exclusively in the evening, I may make an exception for weekday care. It just depends on how busy I am that week with my full time job! I still offer overnight care, but only if the owner is comfortable with me being away from 7am-5pm during the weekday.
