Hey dog, let’s go for a jog!

Pet care experience

Hellooo good puppers and perfect doggos! I would love to be able to help you and your owner out by taking you for a walk or giving some attention on a rainy day. I have a 10 year old yorkie mix (Layla) that I've raised myself, and grew up with big dogs in the house. I'm a crazy dog lady, and have been my whole life. I live in a townhouse with an untended yard in Arlington and work from home 9-5. I'd love to hang out with you over my lunch break, after work, or on the weekends! I know all about the good dog parks in the area :) For the dog owners: I’m an RYT 200 (yoga teacher) and believe in an active lifestyle with lots of time outdoors. I am a pet lover and have taken care of many dogs of many sizes over the years. I understand that all pets have different energy levels, personalities, and needs. The best way to interact with an animal is to treat them with respect, while you work to earn theirs. Cat & Dog First Aid - Red Cross Certified

Katie was perfect. Easy to coordinate with, communicative, and very loving. When I picked up our dog, I should tell that she was very comfortable and happy even though she had only been there a night. Would definitely use Katie again.

Katie was wonderful taking care of Winston! She was responsive and spent a lot of time with him, and kept me updated the whole time. Would definitely rebook! Thank you so much!

Absolutely fantastic experience! Katie took amazing care of our puppy and sent lots of photos and updates. Our dog is very active and Katie went out of her way to spend extra time outdoors with her. Highly recommend Katie for overnight care!

Safety, trust & environment

I understand that your pet is your baby. I do not take for granted the trust you have in me to have me care for them. When walking, I always hold the leash with two hands, and stay extremely aware of our environment and your dog’s reactions. The right action in the moment could save their life!

Information Katie R. would like to know about your pet

If you decide to let me spend time with your dog, I'd like to know a few things about them. Do they have a favorite toy? Any quirks? Do they love chasing squirrels? Do they get a treat after each walk? Do they like to take long naps? I do not have breed preferences, although I do prefer dogs that are housebroken with good manners.

A typical day

Dogs that hang out with me will be able to take nice walks outside in the fresh air around Arlington, VA. There will also be plenty of snoozing, treats, and playtime involved as well!
