Your best friend is in caring hands
Pet care experience
I've taken care of dogs for many years, whether it's creating doggie day adventures, dog walks, or pet sitting (both in-home and check-ins). Neighbors and friends have relied on me to take care of their fur babies to walk, feed, bathe, and play. I am known for my doggie adventures, making sure your fur baby has the best day - beach day adventures, workouts or runs, games, paddleboarding, doggie play dates, walks by the water, chasing balls, learning to retrieve in the water. I always pack a survival bag - food, treats, toys, water, water bowl, extra poop bags, first aid kit, and eye drops (for sandy beach walks). Whether it's an hour or full-day fun, I am your match. If you'd like, I will send you professional photographer-quality photos and videos of your friend(s). You can enjoy your day/tine away while I make sure your pet enjoys their days, too. I'm available for dog walks, adventures, and daytime or overnight pet sitting.
Reviews
My Beagles were quite happy, which made me happy. I got lots of pics where they were all smiles. This was their first time with Katie and I will definitely contact her again!
Katie gave us peace of mind. She is wonderfully prompt and keeps the line of communication going while we are away. She treats our home as her own and treats our girls as her own. They were happy, exercised and well taken care of in Katies care. We highly recommend her! and our girls love her, too!
Katie was awesome!!! She took such good care of my little pooch. She also met us at different locations to pick up and drop off my pet, which made it very convenient for us. In addition, she recommended some great places for us to visit during our vacation. We are very happy customers and would use Katie again.
Katie is fantastic! I can’t recommend her enough. She has taken such great care of Thatcher. She always spends extra time with him and takes him on long walks and sends lots of pictures!! Can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of him while we are at work.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will take your lead on the best environment and habbits for your furry friend. I cannot have pets at my house, but I will treat your home as if it were mine, and your pet as if it were my beat friend. I am clean, professional, and respectful; I'm quiet and generally keep to myself.
Information Katie R. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has special needs, or has an injury or health condition I need to be sensitive of. It's also helpful to know what voice and hand commands your dog knows, and if there are movements that can be triggering (i.e. nuzzling a face may trigger dog to snap). If there's a fav treat, or allergy, I am happy to accomodate.
A typical day
I love to take dogs to the beach to run or walk, sunrise or any time of the day. I love the various woods and trails in the OBX - Kitty Hawk Preserve, Nags Head woods, Ft. Raleigh & nearby beaches and trails, Wright Brothers Memorial, dog park in Nags Head, Dowdy Park. I love taking dogs paddleboarding if they are comfortable around water. I'm not afraid to hop in the water with a dog to play, chase balls or frisbees, or chill and watch the ride go by. Sunsets are another fav time of day to take dogs for a walk.

I work full-time remotely M-F in marketing for a mid-to-large sized company. I am on my computer during the day, but have time to take your pet for walks and potty breaks theoughout the day. I start sometimes as early as 6am, but it's flexible, I almost always take a long lunch break, and am usually done work by 430pm. Outside of that, I am pretty flexible with my schedule.
