All Creatures Great & Small Welcome

Pet care experience

I’m a professional horse trainer with experience caring for a wide variety of both small and large animals, from birds to livestock. I can administer basic first aid in emergencies and am comfortable handling reptiles and rodents. I currently run an equine boarding facility with 14 horses and oversee each horse’s daily needs.

Katy has house sate/pet sat for us numerous times. I always know I can trust my pets with her and that they are going to get the utmost care, love and attention. Katy is extremely reliable and excellent at communication while we are away. I would definitely recommend Katy for any kind of pet related care. You won't find better!

Katy has been fantastic caring for all our critters while house-sitting for us during several 2+ week long vacations over the past 4 years! And we don't have a small crowd with two vicious parrots, two needy dachshunds (one is completely blind), an adorable border collie mix with Addison's disease who needs daily medication and an IM shot once a month, two aloof cats and a few horses (my wife's, so I'll skip the adjectives). Everyone was happy and healthy and Katy gave us several picture and video updates while we were gone. Even when our border collie had an episode related to her disease, Katy had no problem treating her with IV fluids, which we had made available just in case. Your critters are in good hands with Katy!

Katy is an AMAZING animal caretaker! She goes above and beyond in making sure the animals are cared for and happy. She has an extensive background in training and competing horses and has 2 amazing dogs of her own. She has watched our animals and I was at complete peace of mind knowing they were in her care. I highly recommend Katy for any of your animal care needs!

Katy was a consistent and reliable Petsitter for me for quite a few years and everything from brief weekend trips to extended week+ vacations. I have quite a large fur family including 4 dogs, 4 cats and 5 horses. Some needing daily medications and special care. Katy has impeccable work ethic and always super reliable with excellent communication (daily texting letting me know how my 4 leggers were doing). I had peace of mind when I was out of town knowing my 4 legged family at home was in great care with Katy.

Safety, trust & environment

I follow all given instructions whenever I am asked to care for a pet, and kindly ask owners to provide emergency contact numbers whenever they are out of reach should an unusual situation arise. I check in when I arrive at the appointment as well as when I leave so that you always know when your pet is being cared for!

Information Katy R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any physical limitations, social anxiety, history or aggressive behavior, or current medical conditions so that I can accommodate accordingly. I love meeting new breeds and working with all personalities!

A typical day

I like to explore shaded neighborhoods and parks on walks, especially areas with access to grass! Dog parks are always great fun, but relaxing in the backyard is a great way to enjoy fetch and frisbee too. For the less motivated types, quiet time with some belly rubs or grooming is also nice!
