I have two dogs that love to play with other dogs. We will make sure your dogs feel right at home! Dogs can sleep in bed with me or in a crate - I will follow whatever structure you have in place in order for them to feel like they are at home. I do have a one-year old daughter who is absolutely obsessed with dogs. I can only accept dogs who are good with kids. Thank you for your understanding!

Information Katina G. would like to know about your pet

Dogs must be good with other dogs, cat (we have 1 who keeps to himself), and babies (we have a 1 year old). My daughter absolutely loves dogs and is very gentle with them!

A typical day

We live on a cul-de-sac with a large backyard. The yard is not fenced in, so I will make sure to only take them outside to play with their leash on. I also take the dog on multiple walks a day, play with them lots, and let them play with my 2 other dogs!

Trusted Dog Mom of 11 Years!

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Katina! I've been surrounded by dogs my entire life and can't image a home without them. I'm currently a proud dog mom to Theo (11) and Toni (2), both of whom I've personally trained and raised with love! My job allows me to work 100% from home, so I am here every day of the week. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to take multiple potty and play time breaks throughout the day! I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog, and I can assure you, I will treat them as they are my own!

Katrina was wonderful! She was so compassionate with our dear 15 year old pup. I would definitely recommend her to care for your pet!

Wrigley loved his stay at Katina’s home. He is our Senior dog who needs a little extra TLC. Katina and her family cared for him like he was their own!

Katina was amazing! Very communicative, flexible, and makes sure your dog is in the best of hands. Biscuit had alot of fun with her and I would highly recommend as a sitter. Will definitely be booking again with her!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
