Highlights
Pet care experience
I love taking care of all pets!🐶🐾
Hi! I'm Katrina. I’m a part-time college student at UMD and a lifelong animal lover! I’d love the opportunity to help take care of your pet and give them a loving home while you're away. I love animals and have grown up with dogs and cats as part of my furry extended family. I am currently a college student, studying and taking classes from home for the majority of the day, so I have plenty of time to give your pet the love and care they deserve. I live in a large townhouse with a secured fenced backyard (escape-proof even by cat-standards) so your pet will have access to fresh air and exercise whenever they’d like. I enjoy taking long walks in the evening, so your pet will be my favorite companion as we explore the many beautiful walking paths and parks nearby. If your pet has any special needs - whether that’s administering regular medication or elder pet care - I’m ready and happy to accommodate. Please don't hesitate to message me if you have any further questions or would like to request a meet-and-greet. I can promise that your pet will be in capable and loving hands while you’re away!

Ratings and reviews
Sure! Here’s a polished review you can use: --- We couldn’t be happier with Katrina as our dogsitter! She is incredibly communicative and keeps us updated every step of the way. It’s clear she has a lot of experience. Our dogs warmed up to her right away and are always relaxed and happy when we return. Being able to go on vacation with peace of mind, knowing our dogs are getting the absolute best care and attention, is priceless. Highly recommended!
Katrina was great with our Kona! If you’re in need of boarding consider Katrina with your pup.
Katrina was amazing! Very responsible and communicative. She took great care of our dog and was very intentional in understanding her needs!
Katrina is great with our senior dog, Sammy. She is responsive, thoughtful, and very sweet. Our dog loves staying with her.
Katrina was wonderful with Bella and took such good care of her while I was away. I will definitely use Katrina again and strongly recommend her to others.
We booked Katrina just a few days before heading out for a weekend family vacation, and she was absolutely wonderful! We have two dogs – an older Basset Hound and a very energetic Cavapoo – and Katrina welcomed them into her home with open arms. She was incredibly kind, communicated with us throughout the weekend, and even sent us adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our dogs were happy and well cared for – and that made us happy too! Highly recommend Katrina to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive dog sitter. We’d definitely book her again!

Schedule
I’m a part-time college student at UMD and am home for the majority of the day. I will have plenty of time to give your pet the care and attention they deserve. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, ensuring each pup gets the right balance of exercise, enrichment, and comfort.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced backyard for frequent bathroom breaks and can provide lots of long walks in a quiet neighborhood. Each pet in my care receives personalized attention based on their unique needs, whether that's extra playtime, belly rubs, or quiet cuddle time together. I can't wait to get to know them and their personality better!
A typical day
I have a medium-sized fenced backyard where your pet can run around and explore, as well as lots of nearby walking paths for your pet to walk along. Between playtime and walks, your pet will have plenty of opportunities to relax, whether that's lounging in a cozy spot indoors or soaking up some sunshine outside in the yard or on the patio. I prioritize a structured yet flexible routine, ensuring your dog feels secure and happy throughout their stay. Whether they love playtime, belly rubs, or just curling up for a nap, I'll tailor their day to their individual needs and preferences!
