Pet care experience

I’ve been a pet owner and sitter for well over 15 years now. My dog of a lifetime was a Great Dane that was my first baby and passed away just over a year ago. I’m very comfortable with seniors. I’ve been responsible for walking and feeding not only my pets, but also many neighbors and friends who have relied on me. I treat each animal like they are my own and make sure to give them the love and attention that I would want mine to have.

I can't say enough good things about Katie! From the moment we met, I could tell my dog was in great hands. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and caring dog sitter.

Katie was an amazing host! Our dog Nellie seemed to be having the time of her life and left happy! I would definitely recommend Katie to anyone looking for a comfortable and fun vacation for their pet :)

Safety, trust & environment

I treat each pet like they are my own. I have a large yard and live in a family and pet friendly neighborhood that is amazing for walks. While your pets will get everything they need, they’ll also enjoy the company of a 3 year old beagle mix that was rescued at a week old. She is incredibly friendly and will provide great company for your pet. I follow all directions to a tee and will ensure your pet feels at home even when you are away.

Information Katie R. would like to know about your pet

It is important to know their daily schedule. Do they have any allergies or dietary restrictions? What is their temperament? Do they get along with other animals? Do they do well with children and other people? How do they normally behave on a leash?

A typical day

My neighborhood is perfect for taking walks. The older neighborhood has a closed loop that is easy to walk multiple times a day. There is no through traffic which minimizes cars on the road. I live within walking distance to a greenway and frequent it many times a week.
