Availability
Life here is relaxed. Our dogs run and play in the yard, nap on the couch, and soak up attention all day. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly with clear sidewalks and access to a path around the lake if your dog would like to go on walks! I work in Ames and can work from home if pups need more company during the workday. My kids love to help with feeding, walks, and snuggles. I am even available during ISU football games to swing by, feed, or let your dog out.

About Katrina M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
In our home, pets are treated like family. Visiting dogs can play safely in our fenced yard, relax on the furniture, and enjoy plenty of supervised attention. I make sure water is always available, follow any feeding or medication instructions, and keep a close eye on interactions with my own dogs to ensure everyone is comfortable. My kids also pitch in with gentle play, walks, and extra snuggles, so your pup will feel right at home. If you have any specific rules, recalls or commands that you would like us to use for consistency, please let us know!
Home
Information Katrina M. would like to know about your pet
I'd love to meet before the first stay and discuss any particular needs or quirks to ensure the best experience for your pup! Learning more about their temperament, types of attention they like or don't like, eating and potty routines, medication schedule, and even whether or not they like to sleep on a dog bed can help us create a smooth transition for your pet and ensure safe and positive interactions.
A typical day
The best part about having multiple dogs is that they tend to entertain each other. As long as the weather is nice, the back doors open while I am home so they can come and go as they please into the fenced yard. Between wrestling and exploring, most dogs who stay with us don't seek much attention from me during the day. At night, we like to do a little bit of TV and sometimes a movie. Our couch expands to fit all the dogs and kids for snuggles (if that's their thing)

Safe, happy home with fenced yard
Pet care experience
I’ve been a devoted dog owner since 2009, and my dogs have always been cherished family members. Our home includes two friendly dogs who get along very well with others, plus two kids who love being part of the “pack.” We have a little pug friend that stays with us sometimes too, but he is also super social! We have a secure 6-foot privacy fence for safe playtime, and I can work from home when hosting dogs that need extra attention or frequent potty breaks. We love taking care of fur babies, and we love families who go to such great lengths to make sure their fur babies are cared for!
Reviews
Katrina took amazing care of my Daisy girl this weekend. She had the best time playing with her new dog friends. I will definitely be using Katrina again when I need a dog sitter!
BEST SITTER EVER! Sent so many great pictures and updates. Highly recommend!
This is the first time I’ve used Rover and I chose the best dog sitter ever…Katrina went above and beyond taking care of my Turbo. This was an extended stay and she communicated with daily photos videos and updates. I highly recommend her for your dog sitter! Will book with her again.
Katrina was very patient with our dog.
