Pet care experience
Hi there! Thank you for your interest in me as your pet care provider! I have a life long personal experience with dogs as well as professional experience (house sitting, boarding, walking, washing, etc). I absolutely love all animals and long walks, I am so happy to have the opportunity to enjoy the fresh air and explore new neighborhoods while meeting amazing people and their dogs! I have two dogs myself, a 6 year old chihuahua and a 1.5 Australian Shepard, I completely value safety and the needs of proper exercise! We frequent dog parks as well as private walks (walks along the canal, more private forest paths, etc!) Can’t wait to meet you and enjoy a neighborhood walk with your furry friend! Katie
Reviews
Katrina was great with greeting us and taking care of my puppy throughout the day as this was my first time on Rover. Not the best fit as I do prefer someone who will cuddle with the puppy as he was used to the couch and the bed. I asked for a call and feedback but never got it.
Katrina is amazing and very communicative. I can tell Cookie had fun because she was pooped when we got home. Katrina sent messages and pics throughout the day. She is accommodating to my schedule which is wonderful. We will definitely come back and would recommend her to other dog owners.
Over the summer we left our dog with Katie due to a conflicting work schedule and unable to take her with us, during that time she updated us constantly with how our little pug was doing and would always send photos and updates as well as asking us if our dog liked any specific activities just to keep her happy, getting our little girl back at the end of the summer it was clear she was kept in fantastic shape and was always entertained We still use Katie’s services for home dog walks whenever we need and our pup is constantly running in circles the minute Katie shows up 10/10 can’t recommend enough and many friends now use her services as well and have the same feedback.
I have been on a walk with Katie and a puppy that she was having for daycare. She is so kind and caring towards animals and has the biggest heart for them. She was so patient with the puppy as he did not enjoy walking, and he ended up loving it! I highly recommend Katie

I have two friendly dogs of my own, an Australian Shepard and a chihuahua. I am currently on maternity leave, I am never gone longer than an hour or two in the day while boarding. We are a large family household between myself, my husband, my 9 year old daughter, and my brother. We all care for, cuddle, and tend to the dogs. Meet and greets and drop offs at my home can be a little "energetic" thanks to my Australian Shepard, Dolly. Dolly is extremely friendly and gets very excited when new friends come to play. She is a "herding dog" so she tends to follow new dogs around, she settles down within an hour of drop off and we resume our relaxed and cozy environment. Dolly will likely be leashed upon drop off to give your dog space if necessary.

A typical day
Long adventurous walks, we love to go on trails and check out new areas in our city! Lots of play! We have so many toys, your fur baby will never be bored! They will enjoy sitting in the sun with us on the front deck and play fetch in the yard, or run around our fenced in backyard and maybe hop in our little doggy pool! Attention and cuddles! Your fur baby will never be alone while in my care. My family is always home and they have been trained by me on how to care for your fur baby while I'm away on a walk.

I am currently on maternity leave I still desire fresh air and being outdoors with animals, continuing my Rover business over the summer is an amazing way to stay out and about! I currently have morning and early afternoon availability.
