Lifelong dog(s of all sizes) person

Pet care experience

I’ve had experience caring for all kinds of pets (including cats, rabbits, birds, and hamsters) my entire life. I grew up with a black lab and a pom-a-poo, and I was the go-to pet sitter for friends and neighbors. I’m an active runner/walker and love to bring a dog along with me. I have experience caring for animals in emergency situations as well. I have experience with skittish dogs, well-trained dogs, puppies, senior dogs, aloof dogs- you name it! I look forward to being a little support system for your dog. There’s nothing quite like bringing them as much joy as they bring you (with lots of pets, snuggles, and treats, of course!). I’m here to answer any questions you may have and to help your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away.

Second time with Katie - she’s great and is available in a pinch. Very communicative.

First time using Rover and Katie did a great job so I definitely will be using it in the future. I really appreciated the photo updates!

This was my first time hiring a pet sitter and she visited every day for 5 days and sent me pictures of the cats. The cats seemed very relaxed and trusting Katie as I can see from the pictures. Of course, when I got home, the cats were very healthy!

Information Katie R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how your dog gets along with others (be it other dogs, animals, or people) so I can keep everyone as happy and comfortable as possible. Any favorite toys? Adorable quirks? Let me know so I can be the best sitter/walker for your pup!

A typical day

Walking through the quiet streets of Chevy Chase, exploring the District’s many dog parks, running through Rock Creek Park, and relaxing in the apartment with a good book and a treat or two.
