I have a fenced backyard for frequent bathroom breaks and can provide lots of long walks in a quiet neighborhood.

Information Katrina J. would like to know about your pet

I am happy to help with any special requests or needs that your pet may have. Please just let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate! I provide a fun, social, and stress-free environment for friendly, well-socialized dogs. I regularly care for multiple dogs at a time (up to 3 at a time) so I can only accept pups who get along well with others. If your dog is reactive, dog selective, or uncomfortable around other dogs, I may not be the best fit. My goal is to create a safe and enjoyable experience for every dog, and I prioritize a positive atmosphere in my home. If you think we might be a good match, let’s schedule a meet and greet or a call, I’d love to learn more about your pup and answer any questions you may have! I can't wait to meet you and your pup very soon!

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!

I love taking care of all pets!🐶🐾

Pet care experience

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!

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 is great with our senior dog, Sammy. She is responsive, thoughtful, and very sweet. Our dog loves staying with her.
