I’d love to care of your fur-baby!
Pet care experience
Hello there! My name is Katie and I would love to take care of your furry family member(s). Old, young, big, small, high-energy, low-energy — it doesn’t matter; I can promise that I will treat your furry family member(s) as if they were my own. I have lived with or owned many different types of animals (cats, dogs, birds, fish, rodents, reptiles, etc.) throughout my 31-rotations around the sun. When I was six years old, my parents bought me my first cat, Gracie, and since that day, I have never been without at least one animal companion. Right now I have three rescues: my dog and side-kick, Kimber, as well as two cats, Gomez and Morticia, who were the missing pieces in completing my fur-family. I have been pet-sitting and house-sitting since adolescence; my friends and family members have always trusted me to take care of their pets. I have plenty of experience with a variety of different temperaments, quirks, and requirements. I am comfortable handling animals with special needs, as well as administering medication and bathing as needed. If you are in need of a reliable, patient, and friendly pet-sitter, feel free to contact me so we can set up a meet-and-greet! I’m looking forward to helping you out and taking care of your beloved furry family member(s).
Reviews
Katie was amazing with my fur baby who has extreme anxiety issues. I just recently moved to the Wilmington area and interviewed a few sitters. When Katie came into our home, she immediately got to Lexi's level and started talking and petting her. My little one means the world to me and Katie took very good care of her while I was away. When I came home, I couldn't even tell she was there. She even cleaned the bedding, bathrooms, floors and did the dishes. Such a wonderful sitter but also just a genuine caring person. I would recommend Katie to anyone looking for a wonderful person to take care of their fur babies. Thank you so much Katie!
Katie is fantastic! She house-sat and watched our dog, Dexter, for a long weekend and we could not be thrilled with the experience. From the beginning, she was a great communicator and she quickly put me at ease about leaving my fur-baby behind. At our meet and greet, Dexter fell in love with her immediately, and it was apparent how much Katie truly cares for animals. Katie was great about sending us multiple “pupdates” throughout the day so that we could see what she and Dexter were up to. Katie went above and beyond during her stay and I could not be happier. She will definitely be our go-to sitter from here on out! 11/10 ?
My air conditioning went out while Katie was house sitting and she went out of her way to make sure my dog was safe and comfortable. Katie goes above and beyond and it’s so comforting to know I have someone so trustworthy with my pup while I can’t be there!
Katie did a great job of caring for our elderly dog while we were absent over two days. She quickly and accurately grasped or somewhat complicated instructions for his walking and feeding, came to the house on time and it is superb job of getting him out, meeting him and comforting him. She instantly won our dog's affection and earned our trust in providing Loving Care. We will contact her immediately the next time we have to leave our dog at home.

Safety, trust & environment
When I come into your home, you won’t even be able to tell that I’ve been there - except for when you come home to a happy and content pet. I am a very neat and organized individual who can follow whatever routine you have for your animal(s).
Information Katie R. would like to know about your pet
During our meet-and-greet, it would be helpful for you to let me know of any quirks or special needs your pet may have - especially trigger words (“sit”, “stay”, “off”, “kennel”, etc.), so that we can understand each other.
A typical day
When I come by to care for your pet, you can expect me to freshen up food and water as needed, play inside or outside, and for dogs, you can expect me to take them on nice walk around your neighborhood. Even if your cat or dog just needs a little bit of company – I’m good for it! Whatever your the needs of your pet(s) are, please just let me know and I will make it happen.
