About Katie R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust, and respect are my top priorities in every interaction with your pet and your home. I focus on attentive, detail-oriented care, clear communication, and following each pet’s routine exactly as instructed. I never make changes to feeding, medications, routines, or handling without explicit owner approval. With my background in veterinary shadowing, animal science education, and hands-on experience with animals of all sizes and temperaments, I’m trained to notice behavior changes, stress signals, and health concerns early. During walks and home check-ins, I prioritize leash safety, secure environments, proper handling, and calm, structured interactions. Your pet will always be cared for with patience, professionalism, and respect, and your home will be treated with the same level of care and trust.
Information Katie R. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or accomodations! I will be happy to accomodate their routine, favorite activities, special diets, medications, or behaviors.
A typical day
Each pet is unique, so what we do is up to their energy level and personality! For active dogs, we’ll go on longer walks, play fetch, or explore a nearby park. For pets who love calmer, personal attention, I’m happy to spend time giving affection, brushing their fur, or playing with their favorite toys.

Your Pet’s Second Favorite Human!
Pet care experience
Animals have been my passion for as long as I can remember! I have over two years of experience in a veterinary office, 100+ volunteer hours with humane societies, and a degree in Animal & Dairy Sciences, giving me hands-on experience with animals of all sizes and needs. I’ve cared for everything from 1,300 lb steers to 2-ounce baby rabbits, so whether your pet is big, small, shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, they’re in safe, loving hands. I truly understand animal behavior, health, and comfort, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. From energetic puppies to senior pets and everything in between, I provide knowledgeable, loving, and reliable care, while treating every animal like my own and giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
