Positive and professional for pets!
Pet care experience
My name is Katie and I recently moved to Arizona from Iowa, where I’ve lived my whole life. I adore animals and need to give some love to cuties that need attention! I have a mini poodle named Striker that gets all the love, but there’s plenty to share! I have been working with animals of all sizes since I was a child on my grandparents farm. I’ve been a pet sitter for many dogs, a few cats, and a couple birds, and my first job in the valley was even as a puppy trainer and caretaker! I would love the opportunity to work with even more cuties. Regardless of your pet’s personality, I know we will get along! When I work with your pet, they will have my full attention and care at all times. Their safety and happiness until you’re return will be my first priority. I look forward to working with you and your lovely animals! I am currently looking to go back to school and have plenty of time during the week to take care of the pets of Rover. I am available daily for drop-in visits and walks, can let them out often, and am available according to your needs. I care for pets in my home or in yours by giving them my full and undivided attention. I believe pets need connection to people and they enjoy walks and pets much more when their human is engaged with them. I will play or give scratches or run them around the neighborhood depending on their needs.
Reviews
Katie is so friendly and supportive to pups and to people! I had to leave my fur baby at home alone for the first time on Christmas, and I am so grateful to have found Katie last minute through Rover, who was willing to spend her holiday helping others. She is professional, knowledgeable, and very communicative! I appreciate all the updates, pictures, and most importantly the genuine love and care she gave my puppy while I was away. I hope to hire her again and I know my Ashii would love to see her again too!
Katie was great with Simon! She left detailed notes, took lots of pictures, and gave Simon lots of pets. She arrived on time on all days and was very communicative. She is our go to person now!
Katie was awesome. She’s a great communicator and sends tons of good pics :) We came back to the clean house that we left and happy pups. She was very supportive for other house needs as well. Would recommend!
Wonderful, enthusiastic, reliable, and great at communicating! She leaves detailed notes and I always look forward to the pictures

Information Katie R. would like to know about your pet
If your dog has any special needs or tricky behaviors, please feel free to bring those up! I want to be informed on how to best care for your dog, and no one is a better expert than their owner! Things like: behaviors they are they struggling with, what do you want reinforced, are they on a special schedule for food or bathroom, any medications or conditions, etc.
A typical day
Playing with toys, belly rubs and cuddles, going on walks in the mornings/evenings/shade, going to dog parks, giving treats and pets are all ways I like to help your pet enjoy their time away from you. They certainly won’t be bored or ignored!
