Pet care experience
Hi there! I have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I have two myself. I volunteered at animal shelters growing up, and worked a great deal on farms, including assisting veterinarians. I am comfortable providing medicine if needed, and will take excellent care of your pup. I’ll keep your pup busy with walks and play time galore! I am available anytime, with the exception of when I babysit on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday between 7-4:30pm (except for house sitting, I’ll be able to stop by a few times). I also am great with shy dogs or ones with traumatic pasts. I do have a toddler who may come with me on Friday/Saturday. I’ve always had a deep love for animals and I’d love to help! Thanks for reading. Have a great day!
Reviews
Katie is great with all pets and always goes out of her way to make sure they have everything that they need. I rarely leave my dogs with anyone except myself, but with Katie, I can trust that they will be well taken care of.
Katie was terrific with my two dogs! I have a mixed pit bull and a small poodle mix. Kate kept both happy and well behaved. She was reliable and followed all my instructions. Katie is my go to pet sitter whenever I need to travel. Teri H.
Katie is fantastic with caring for animals. She is extremely loving and patient. She does all that she can do to make sure they are entertained, loved, and comfortable. I have a large Rhodesian ridgeback/boxer mix with some slight aggression issues and she handles him with no problem, and is able to get all of his energy out by taking him on long walks. I’d highly recommend her! She is really trustworthy and reliable.

Information Katie R. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if there are any behavior issues or medical issues that I should be aware of - specifically aggression or territorial issues.
A typical day
I am comfortable having pups in my car so I’d love to take them on long walks at places like Grassy Lake, or other nearby trails! I’m also big on playing catch, or if your dog is older, lots of love and attention. I can also take your dog to dog parks for you, once I get a feel of your dog and his/her personality.
