The only person I trust more than Katie to take care of my dog is myself. Katie has every quality you want in a sitter -- attentive, detail-oriented, responsible, and genuinely loving toward dogs of all breeds and temperaments -- which truly sets her apart.

Katie R’s love for dogs is unmatched! She has taken care of our dogs for multiple days at least five times in the past, and we schedule our trips based on her availability! Katie R is very attentive to both the physical and emotional needs of dogs. Our dogs love (and need!) walks, and Katie R walks our young pup and senior dog together daily. We also greatly appreciate the photos and updates Katie R sends! Our dogs are always excited to see her and are happy and relaxed when we return to pick them up. We had another dog that was 16 when she passed away that had kidney disease and Katie R did a super job taking care of her special medical needs. We highly recommend Katie R for any type of dog sitting that may be needed.

Schedule

I currently work as a yoga instructor so am gone for no more than 4 hours at a time on any given day, and my husband works from home 2 out of 5 days per week. My hours are variable from day to day, but I have plenty of time each day to spend with your dog doing whatever they'd like--walking around the neighborhood, playing with toys, or just hanging out!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced-in yard and two dogs that would love to play or just chill out with your pup-they take the lead from their dog friends! We live in a safe, low traffic neighborhood perfect for walks. Dogs are allowed on the furniture for snuggles. We have one extra kennel (for larger dogs) available if need be.

A typical day

I'm happy to do whatever your dog wants to do! We can take walks, play with toys, or hang out! We have a great fenced in space out back for more active play (Nellie loves to play with other dogs!) or we can chill on the couch inside.
