Highlights
Pet care experience
I welcome and love all dogs!
Let me shower your pups with love while you're away ! I was a dog groomer for 4yrs on Beaver Island, Mi. I started my Rover career as well as K9 training in Nashville, Tn and continued for 6yrs. I have loved and cared for many families there. Since I have moved back home I now have a full-time job as an optician but still have plenty of time and would be honored to stay in your home (plus get my doggy or kitty fix) I have experience in handling many different breeds and sizes. I can easily adjust to different situations and am used to handling many different behaviors and personalities. I have always been an animal lover and volunteer at animal shelters. I really enjoy spending time and playing with all dogs and look forward to watching yours!
Cat care experience
Katina also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I prefer to maintain routines that are as similar to yours as possible. Safety and trust are of utmost importance to me, so I always make sure to discuss how your dog reacts during walks with people and other animals.
Ratings and reviews
Kat is always incredible and I have zero stress knowing she is staying with my ‘kids’.
Awesome job. One of our pups is usually very skeptical of new people but he took to Kat immediately. He’s a good judge of character. Thanks
My gals love Katina!
Kat is super trust worthy and cares about my furry kids almost as much as I do. She also leaves my house better than she found it. I have know Kat for nearly 4 years and whole heartedly endorse her. If I could give Kat 10 starts on a 5 star scale, I would!
Kat is my favorite dog sitter and walker of all time. She is so loving and caring with my dogs, which is the main reason to hire her. But beyond that- she is also super communicative during dog-sitting, she is willing use the special prong collar one of my dogs needs and use her training commands, and in general I find she goes above and beyond to make the dogs comfortable. :-)
I knew from the moment I met Kat that she would be the best person to help us with our sweet Tallie! She is so kind, loving to our girl and extremely knowledgeable and teaching Tallie as well as us so much! Tallie loves her dates with Kat and I would highly recommend her to anyone!!

Schedule
Because I have a full-time job in Richland, not all puppies will be a great fit for me. However, if you’re close enough to my workplace, I have the flexibility to take extra time during my lunch to give them potty breaks and playtime. My workweek alternates between two different schedules. For example, in Week 1, I work from Monday to Thursday from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM, and then I’m out of the office on Wednesday at 1:00 PM. On Friday, I work from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. In Week 2, I work from Monday to Thursday from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM, and then I’m off on Friday.
