I will keep your dog happy & safe

Pet care experience

Our family always owned pets growing up, from ferrets, to birds and dogs, but the family pet that sticks out most in my mind was our Rottweiler. He taught me that dogs are loyal and innocent creatures who only want to be loved and it’s our responsibility as their owner to give that to them. Our pup ended up having to be put down due to a tumor that resulted because of ignorant teenagers throwing rocks at him. That event was traumatizing and the only way for me to grow from it was to pledge to protect and love the other animals I care for in his memory. I’ve been pet sitting for several years now and also have professional experience volunteering at the Humane Society in Keene, New Hampshire. My shifts started at 6 a.m. and I would clean kennels, walk the dogs, do laundry, make the animals beds and feed them. I also have a mini lop bunny rabbit at home named Brandy, who has been a part of my family for years now. Caring for her has been an absolute joy! I’m a bubbly, trustworthy and above all, honest person who stays active and lives a fruitful and healthy life. I love being in nature and spending time with a pup outdoors while on a walk or playing a game of fetch is my ideal way to spend an afternoon! My clients appreciate the fact that I send photos and videos of all the games and activities me and the pups get up to during our time together, and I’m always sure to include relevant bits of information that helps detail how our day is going. In terms of my other responsibilities, I am a student taking three online classes and also work part time. The pets I care for always come first regarding my part-time work and this has never negatively affected my pet-sitting responsibilities. My schedule is fairly free and definitely flexible. Send me a message!

Really sweet Rover host! Katrina was super accommodating and flexible with booking and sent lots of photos. She even managed to walk our Nashi with another dog even though Nashi can often be leash-reactive. She has a kind and calm nature, and we will definitely book her again.

Information Katrina L. would like to know about your pet

· How many sitters have cared for your pup in the past? · Please let me know how your pup behaves around kids, new people, new dogs and small animals. · How often are they fed and taken outside for exercise and bathroom breaks? · Are they allowed on furniture? · Do they have any allergies of medical conditions I should be aware of? · Are there any body language signs the dog portrays when he or she needs something? · If you use more than one type of leash, please bring both for your pups’ stay with me. · How long can your pup be left alone?

A typical day

My home is a wonderful environment for dogs because it’s big enough for them to stretch out and play, and contained enough that I can always have my eye on them to ensure their safety. Outside we have a fenced-in yard that is perfect for digging or a game of chase. The surrounding area of Springfield is awesome because there are bike trails, trees, water parks, ponds, hills and forests to explore. Once I have an idea of how your pup enjoys spending time, we will do all of the things he loves!
