Katie was awesome! She sent great photos and updates and it looked like Paisley was getting lots of love and attention! We also appreciated her communication and flexibility. We would definitely book again!

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.
