Pet care experience
Home Full Time – Loving Dog Care ❤️
Hi, I’m Kat! I’m a reliable and compassionate dog sitter who works from home full-time in central Tucson near River and 1st Ave, ensuring your dog is never alone. I’ve been working with animals my entire life, so I deeply understand their behavior and training needs - whether it’s guiding a playful puppy or caring for a senior dog. My home-based care, built on years of experience, creates a calm, safe and nurturing environment. I specialize in caring for low to moderate-energy dogs who thrive in a peaceful routine, but I also welcome well-mannered, energetic pups. My home offers plenty of space to play, along with a secure, large yard for outdoor time. Plus, we enjoy daily walks at least twice a day to keep dogs happy and healthy. Good manners are key. I work best with dogs who are house-trained, responsive to commands, and respectful of boundaries. If your pup is playful but polite (no counter-surfing or ignoring “no,” please!), we’ll be a great match. Let’s schedule a meet and greet so you can see where your pup will be staying and be sure they get along with my fur baby, Cosmo.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain clear boundaries and a structured routine, including separate feeding areas to ensure stress-free mealtimes and a calm, balanced environment where every dog feels secure and supported.
Ratings and reviews
Katarina was so great and attentive to Aria and her needs, and kept us updated on her eating and activities. Will definitely be booking with her again when possible.
Katarina was fabulous with our dog Freya - her house is perfect for Freya! Katarina was very communicative and made sure Freya had all she needed for the day. Will definitely stay again!
Thank you for watching Penny again and taking great care of her. She had a good time
Great and easy as always
My dog's stay with Katarina for 12 days was wonderful for her and for me. Katarina kept me updated and sent photos or videos. I felt my dog was being well cared for and I could relax and enjoy my trip. I am looking forward to planning more travel now that I have found a really good place for my dog to stay while I am gone.
I am so happy and relieved to have found Katarina. I hate having to be away from my little guy, but I feel so much better knowing he is with Katarina in her home. He we clearly so loved and cared for while I was away. So grateful for Katarina and her family.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
Working from home allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I offer at least two daily walks, plenty of playtime in my spacious home and secure yard, and lots of affection and connection. Dogs here are never left alone for long and are welcomed as part of the home, including those who enjoy snuggling in bed. I also offer discounted rates for consistent weekly daycare schedules, creating a stable, familiar routine that helps dogs feel more relaxed and at home here.
