Pet care experience
Hi! I’m A 21 year old girl who loves dogs(probably a little too much haha). I’ve had experience pet sitting a wide variety of animals (horses, dogs, birds, cats, turtles, chickens, etc). I’ve been volunteering at a local doggy daycare Monday, Wednesday and Friday’s for the past 3 years. This opportunity has provided me with the chance to experience all dogs ranging in all sizes and breeds. I was/ am responsible for feeding, watering, bathing, playing with the dogs and most importantly their safety. On average I am around 30-35 dogs being their primary source of care. I truly love all dogs of all breeds! As for myself I am in college at Eastern Connecticut State University for my Masters and graduated in the Spring of 2022 with my Bachelors in education. As for where your dog will be staying I live in a small farm town called Franklin that is centered between Norwich and Willimantic. I live on 3 acres with our field across the street that is roughly 8 acres. My family also owns 13 acres bordering the Shetucket River which is a quick 5 minute drive from my house, along with a family farm of about 10 acres which is even closer! (basically a lot of natural scenery for your dog to play on!) I am a bright and bubbly person who has a true passion for dogs :) I can not wait to meet each of you and your furry friends!
Reviews
Katrina is a passionate animal lover is dedicated and invested in what she does. Has great ethics and is kind and caring. Very responsible and mature.
Katrina is the most responsible individual I know. She’s always had a passion and love for taking care of animals especially dogs ever since she was a child. My dog is obsessed with her. It’s amazing to see her passion and love for animals grow everyday I’m so happy to see her pursuing her dreams!
Katrina is the best! She is responsible, knowledgeable about animals, and she cares - about animals, people, and doing a good job. Katrina has pet sat for us over the past 7 years, taking excellent care of my two dogs, cats, horses, chickens/ducks, and our cockatiel. This has allowed us to go on vacations and support us at times we needed to be away for just the day. We are very lucky to know her!

Safety, trust & environment
As I mentioned I am fortune to have tons of land readily available to me and your pets. I have two cats that are indoor/outdoor that get along with dogs perfectly. I also have two older American Eskimo Spitz that are very friendly with other animals. I prefer a one on one experience for dogs providing them with the best opportunity for fun and safety. Although my dogs are not crated I do have one available to me based on owner’s wishes. I am also easy to get in contact with so if any questions arise or you just wanna check in, feel free to text or call me during your pet's stay!
Information Katrina K. would like to know about your pet
For my preference I would like to know of any urgent medical information and any triggers your pets might have. Examples of this include: food aggression, hard time breathing in heat, leash aggression, etc. I will not turn away a dog for any of these but I would like to know:)
A typical day
On a typical play dates I walk dogs in my hometown Franklin. I have lots of land for the dogs to play on which is a safe and stimulating experience. On these properties there are rivers, woods, streams, ponds and so much more!

As I’ve stated I am a student at ECSU going for my Masters in Education which means I am a full time student who has pre-student teaching in the fall and student teaching in the spring. I also volunteer throughout the week at my local doggy daycare and shelter. My schedule is forever changing depending on my classes but can be given when asked! I have my own transportation and try my best to be as flexible as possible.
