Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every home I care for. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions. I keep spaces clean, secure, and free of hazards, and I’m attentive to behavior changes so I can respond quickly if something feels off. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and maintain a peaceful, consistent environment so pets feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away.

Information Katie R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. If it’s important to you, it’s important to me.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. We'll check out all the new smells in my neighborhood, and make some of our own.

Katie walked and took care of my Frenchie Skooter and my Minature Schnauzer Gretal for me for 3 years. Gretal had a surgery to correct her right leg and required medication a couple times a day. And I am at work. Katie was their everyday to take care of her when I couldn't be. And these are my children so trusting people to sit with them and take care of them was a big leap of faith for me. I am glad I did. Katie was always prompt and always carried herself with a No task is to much attitude and I cannot recommend any one higher. She Still comes by to visit them to this day and they go Crazy when they think she is at the Door. This is a rare person to find for your most precious of family. I hope you have the opportunity to see what I am saying. Thank you Katie.

Katie took wonderful care of my two dogs, including one who can be reactive, and handled everything with patience and confidence. She’s clearly a true animal lover and someone you can count on. I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in such responsible, caring hands.
