Highlights
Pet care experience
Previous dog caretaker, kennel tech
I got my first cat when I was just 8 years old, gaining full responsibility of her at 10 years old. I am now 19 years old and have had the pleasure of taking care of hundreds of pets (mostly dogs)! For about 6 months I was a kennel technician for a kennel which generally had about 60+ dogs in it. I bonded so much with every dog, most breaks I would just go into a kennel of dog who might've been skittish and try to bond, they really liked that. At this job, I mostly cleaned kennels but also fed dogs/cats their specific food requests and documented it on sheets. On the other hand, I was a dog caretaker at a small business in Austin where I would take up to 7 well-behaved dogs (that's all my car could fit!) to a nearby trail and let them off leash to explore. At the commercial space, I monitored 15+ dogs playing, making sure no one got hurt (or somewhere they shouldn't be!). This job taught me the most about dogs and dog behavior.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I love animals! I will give your pet lots of love and do as intstructed, whatever is needed! If you request that I give your pet a special treat, I will. I have learned behaviors of pets over the years that I have cared for them, every pet is different but I learn quickly! I will not be able to house your pet because I live in a dorm.

Our dogs LOVE Katrin! I’ve worked with Katrin for over nine months at DogCentric Society, where she’s cared for dogs of every size and temperament. She regularly manages a 6–7 dog pack on our off-leash hiking adventures and is one of those rare people who immediately earns dogs’ trust. Katrin has a special gift with shy or sensitive dogs — the pups who need a little extra time, patience, and understanding. She never rushes them. Instead, she meets them where they are, creating a sense of safety that lets their true personalities shine. She genuinely loves caring for the shy or quirky dogs and they seem to be drawn to her calm, steady presence. She has experience with a wide range of breeds and temperaments, reads dog body language incredibly well, and consistently helps create a safe, balanced group dynamic. On top of that, she takes fantastic photos, capturing the personality of each dog in a way that owners absolutely cherish. As her manager, I can say she brings a thoughtful, can-do energy to our pack every single day. She’s someone you can always count on — both in her care for dogs and in the way she supports the people around her. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog as an individual and truly “get” their unique personality, I wholeheartedly recommend booking with Katrin. Your pup will be in wonderful hands.

Schedule
I'm currently living in Austin with a part time job I limit to Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. So, I prefer to reserve Mondays and Wednesdays for taking care of furry friends! This helps keeps my days organized. Currently, I have lots of availability for evening walks on Mondays and Wednesdays
