Availability
I work from home full-time, so I’m home and available most of the day! Dogs in my care get a balanced routine with plenty of playtime, outdoor breaks, and rest time throughout the day. I always keep an eye on the weather and adjust outside time based on safe temperatures, so everyone stays happy, healthy, and comfortable. Your pup will never feel rushed or ignored, they’re part of the daily rhythm here!

About Katie R.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I treat them like family. In client homes, I’m respectful, communicative, and always leave things just how I found them (plus one happy dog!). I love going on long walks or just hanging out with a pup who needs a potty break and some cuddles. At my house, things are really set up for daycare and boarding. The guest room is a cozy little doggy space - air-conditioned, comfy, and honestly kind of like a mini hotel. Dogs get a great mix of playtime, outside time, and rest, always with safety and comfort in mind.
Home
Information Katie R. would like to know about your pet
Please provide your dog’s food for any overnight stays to keep their routine comfortable. If your dog has any dietary needs or intolerances, just let me know. I love giving treats and will always check with you first to make sure they’re safe and appropriate. If your dog is reactive in any way, please inform me ahead of time. Keeping all pets safe and comfortable is my top priority!
A typical day
We keep things fun and relaxed around here! Your pup can enjoy cuddles on the couch, supervised backyard play (we have a doggy door with a clear view to the yard), and lots of toys to explore. Whether your dog loves fetch, sunbathing, or just following me around the house, there’s always something to do and plenty of time to rest, too.

Pet care experience
*Back on Rover after taking a little break* We have two dogs of our own, so our home is full of toys, cozy beds, and a laid-back vibe. We both work from home and love having extra pups to cuddle and care for! Our dogs—Lu (an 11-year-old Aussie/Lab mix) and Austen (a 3-year-old pit mix)—are relaxed, social, and non-aggressive. That said, if your dog isn’t dog-friendly, no worries, we’re happy to keep them separate. I have a dedicated training room, and the dogs are given shifts throughout the day for outdoor time, play, and rest. Everyone gets space to decompress without stress, while my dogs enjoy their naps. I’ve been a professional dog trainer for over 5 years and have worked with dogs my whole life. I’m confident handling all breeds and sizes, and your pup’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. Feel free to reach out with any questions or special requests, I’m happy to help!
Reviews
Katie was awesome once again. Kaia loves it there!
Katie was an outstanding caretaker for our pup Milo! She sent many updates and photos, and kept our minds at ease while we were on vacation. Her home is immaculate, and has a back yard dedicated for dog playtime. We were thrilled with our experience.
Kaia loves hanging out with Katie and her family. She comes out and goes right to sleep till the next morning.
We recently boarded our golden retriever with Katie, and she was fantastic. Katie took such excellent care of our dog, providing frequent updates and making sure she was comfortable in a safe, protected area. She gave plenty of time for play and outdoor fun. Katie truly goes above and beyond in caring for our girl. We cannot recommend her enough and look forward to using her as our go-to for future boarding!
