Your pets home away from Home!

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Kattie, I have taken care of and watched puppies and dogs since i was a young girl, my parents had several different breeds of dogs and i was always ready to help my parents with them, I have pet sat for friends and family and love to make sure all animals are cared for and loved for like they should be, my husband and i have our 3 and a half yr old DATA who is a Maltese/Terrier mix and our 3 bunnies who are all a part of our family! I am a stay at home Mother of two boys, so we are always home to love on and spend time with our pets and make sure they get the attention they need and deserve, we have a 6'ft privacy fence in the back yard to make sure they are safe as well. We love taking our fur babies to the park, on stroller rides and walking around so they can have fun and stay healthy. I have worked in the Janitorial business in my Parents self-owned company for over 20+ years but have taken a break from that to stay home full time with my family. I understand what it takes to keep our, or any pet safe and happy and would love to make our home, your pets home away from home!

Katie and her husband and kids took excellent care of our two 16 pound dogs while we were at family space camp! One is a senior dog and is almost 16 and the other is a spastic 2 year old. They got to run around in her big back yard, go to the park, and even got a bath so they were super clean when we picked them up! Katie is great at communication and was so loving with our dogs. We would love to have her care for our dogs again!

Katie R. Is a responsible and loving pet sitter. My dog steal loves being around her and spending time with her. She sends me pictures anytime i want to see him and how he is doing. She also listens to my needs and wants of the cares i have for my dog. I would recommend her to anyone.

Kattie Rook watched my sweet babies (my dog poogie, and dog molly) for 3 days when I was out of town visiting family and wasn't able to bring my dogs. She was amazing and went well and beyond what was asked of her. I don't travel much and leaving my pets was really hard and she kept me assured the whole time by sending sweet photos and messages. I would definitely use her again.

Information Katie R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog/puppy has a potty or feeding schedule, any likes or dislikes, and if they are alright around other pets. Please also let me know if your dog is on any medication that needs to be given orally. Feel free to let me know of any important information you feel I need to know about your pet, as i want to make sure they are just as happy and comfortable with me as they are at home with you. (gets cold/hot easily, needs a special lovey with them! I will not watch a sick dog-such as, but not limited to ( Parvo, Kennel cough, rabies, worms, ect.) If it is spreadable to my dog or other pets i may keep, then we are not the right fit and you should not book with me. Health and wellness is important above all when it comes to our fur babies, and while DATA and my rabbits are up to date with vaccines and such there are several sicknesses that can still be spread. Thanks

A typical day

They will have fun riding in our Pup stroller to the park in our neighborhood where we will take walks through the trees, run, play ball and fetch. There will be lots of cuddles, and of course plenty of doggy snacks-if permitted of course! We love playing chase in the back yard and watching them play with their chew toys.

Availability

I am available most of the time, as i am a stay at home Mom of 2 boys, ages 11 and 13, the only time i am out is when and if i need to run an errand, we do not crate our DATA, but if it makes you feel safer for your fur baby to be crated when i make runs then i will do so. We have plenty of run around room in our two story home and in our back yard for them to get plenty of fun and run space!
