Marathoner and PhD Student

Pet care experience

I love animals and have had pets all my life (dogs and cats). My rescue dog, Batman (11 years old), has successfully trained for 3 full marathons with me. Health and happiness are top priorities with my own pet and my background as a scientist has made me observant and detail oriented of behavior and potential health issues. As the dog-mom of a rescue who previously had separation anxiety, I am patient and understanding of different temperaments and individual personalities.

She is a great dog sitter! I’d definitely recommend her and use her service again. She kept me updated and she gave my kids a lot of love my kids looked so happy! Thank you so much

Katie is excellent with my 3 dogs. She treats them just as well as (or better than!) her own dog. Shes very caring, attentive to detail, and I would trust her to babysit anytime. She is also just as caring to my cats and is super trustworthy!

Information Katie R. would like to know about your pet

Animals have unique personalities. Because of this, I would like to know your dog's quirks, habits, favorite activities, and temperament. Any behavioral issues such as reactivity need to be discussed in advance to ensure a safe, happy, and stress-free environment.

A typical day

Mental and physical activity are both important components in an animal's life. I enjoy walking and running the quiet neighborhoods of Coppell as well as Andrew Brown park. I am a regular at 151 coffee and would love to take your pup for a post-walk pup cup. If your dog would like a walking buddy, my 11 year old rescue mutt Batman loves a good side-kick!

My schedule as a PhD student is busy, but flexible. I am available for longer walks/runs on the weekends. Most importantly, I require clear communication from pet parents.
