Devoted Dog Lover Ready for Yours!

Pet care experience

Drawing from a lifetime shared with dogs, my unique journey includes raising a beloved Maltese named Bubblees. From puppyhood through her senior years, attending obedience classes together, and becoming a trusted caregiver for friends' and family's dogs, ranging from Rottweilers to Dachshunds. My approach is deeply influenced by these experiences, emphasizing attentiveness, understanding each dog's unique personality and needs. I ensure their safety and happiness by being in tune with their requirements, whether it's through engaging hikes, soothing walks, or simply enjoying their company and cuddles. My adaptability to different dogs' needs is grounded in respect, patience, and kindness, promising a loving and secure environment for your cherished pet.

Katrina is super sweet and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my 19-year-old little dog, Soupy. I received great photos and updates. I would, without hesitation, use Katrina again.

My friend Katrina stands out as a reliable and kind dog walker and sitter. Ever since we both got our dogs during our college years, we both were incredibly dedicated to their care, and she would always treat my dog as if she were her own. Katrina has a calm and affectionate way with dogs, which seems to make them instantly comfortable around her. Having seen how she cared for her dog from puppyhood with such commitment, I'm confident in recommending her to anyone looking for trustworthy pet care. Her genuine concern for the their well-being makes her the right choice.

Katrina has been my dog-walking partner in crime since our epic hiking adventures with our furry sidekicks. My lab has officially joined her fan club too. He's practically putty in her hands, convinced she's some sort of dog whisperer. Honestly, if he could dial a phone, she'd be his first call for a hangout. If I ever needed someone to watch him, she's my no-brainer choice.

When our labradoodle first joined the family at 10 weeks old, we had an unexpected trip we needed to go on for the first weekend he was going to be home. Katrina stepped in and stayed at our home to care for our pup’s first weekend in his new house. She was there with him to help with round-the-clock care. She worked on his potty training, which meant venturing outside every four hours (even at night), and Katrina handled it like a champ. She even handled his first bout of puppy diarrhea and she bathed him and cleaned his bed and crate. We were so relieved that she was the one to stay with him those first few days. Our puppy is now 7 years old and we’ve used Katrina multiple times for home and dog sitting when we’re out of town and trust that he is in great care each time. The bond she's formed with our pup is undeniable; it's a two-way street of adoration. Handing over your beloved pet to her care? You'd be making a wise choice.
