I look forward to walking your dogs, playing with them in your yard or house, and making sure they are fed (if requested). Please let me know about your cat's favorite toys, and I will make sure to entertain them during my visit. I can also administer meds and clean litter boxes.

Information Katrin D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog likes to walk a specific route. Are they reactive towards other people or dogs? What toys does your pet like most? Do you have any treats I can offer them? Does your pet have a mealtime routine I should know about?

A typical day

I enjoy running and am happy to go for a run with your dog if requested. I enjoy playing nose games with my dogs. Does your dog like that?

Pet care experience

I've had dogs for over 18 years, and cats for 16. Currently, two large dogs, Gwen and Jean Luc, two cats, Max and Lucy, a turtle, Flo, and some fish and frogs reside with me. I'm comfortable giving meds as I've had a dog with chronic kidney disease and am going through it again with my senior cat. I have never met a critter I didn't love, and I have even volunteered at a wildlife rehab facility for more than ten years. I work from home, and my schedule is very flexible. When booking, please let me know if you have a specific time you'd like me to drop in, or if there is a window. I know how hard it is to leave town and have someone else look after your pets. I welcome a meet and greet, in-person or virtual, so we can get to know each other before confirming the reservation.

Katrin is very communicative, attentive and prompt. My cat has extra needs because she’s a senior and Katrin goes above and beyond to take care of her and give me peace of mind. Will book with her for as long as she wants to continue to watch my pet!

Katrin is fantastic and sent photos after each visit. My cat can be aloof around strangers and she took extra time to make my cat comfortable around her. You can tell she cares about the animals she is watching.

Katrin was absolutely the BEST for my pets. They enjoyed her checking in visits and her snuggles. I would absolutely recommend her for your pet care.

Katrin was responsible, steady, and resourceful in caring for my quirky cat. The situation was challenging, because workers were doing noisy carpentry during my absence. Katrin managed to engage Zelda with play, even though she had been hiding from the noise all day. Katrin’s timely visit reports were very reassuring as well. I was able to enjoy my trip, knowing that Katrin was giving our kitty such good care.

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.
