Please let me know if your dog has any special needs as far as medication, mobility issues, reactivity, special diet or allergies, etc. I’m happy to accommodate as needed!

We can be as active or as couch potato-esq as your pup desires! Bring on the tug of war or game of tag. I also live near lots of walking trails and have an acre of woods behind my house, prime for wildlife viewing!

Pet care experience

When I was 3, I picked out our family dog and that was the beginning of my lifelong love of all animals. I’ve cared for itty bitty critters all the way up to my big, intimidating (but secretly a big teddy bear) Rottweiler. Caring for dogs gives me a sense of purpose, and since I recently lost my Buddy, I would be honored to care for your baby as if they were my own. I live a quiet life on my own, and have a fenced in yard where they can run around or sniff to their heart’s content. I’m also happy to take them on walks and car adventures as they wish!

Katrin did a wonderful job taking care of our pup. Her space is perfect for taking care of pups and she clearly loves dogs. She was great about getting her plenty of walks and sent lots of pictures and videos.

Katrin was wonderful with our dogs. She was consistent with the rules and so loving. She communicated regularly and clearly. Would love to book with her again!

Katrin was seriously the best! She took great care of my anxious, shy dogs Lucy and Fiona. She sent a ton of updates, photos and videos, and really made sure both my dogs felt comfortable and loved while we were gone. We will definitely book Katrin again!

We absolutely love Katie and will take our doggies to her for as long as she’ll have us. Our dogs are so happy when we show up and a bit sad to leave her. I always feel 100% confident that our dogs are in good hands and never have to worry about them while we’re gone.
