I am across the street from a beautiful park with a fenced in dog area, quiet streets, and lots of nice areas for walks! I have no other animals in my home right now, so they will be the center of my attention 🥰

Information Katrina R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I am pretty flexible with special needs dogs, anxious dogs, seniors and puppies. Just give me a heads-up!

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dog's physically and mentally. We'll play a bunch of games, and check out all the new smells in the neighborhood.

Pet care experience

I’ve been head over heels for dogs my whole life, caring for them, learning from them, and loving every second of it. I helped raise our big goofy Lab from age 4 to 17, handling walks, training, post surgery care, and senior needs like ear cleaning and meds. Then came a sassy black Lab puppy, housetraining her (even mid-poop!), teaching manners, feeding, walking, and making sure her mind stayed as active as her tail. Later, I was a full time dog mom to a German Shepherd. Completely hands on for house training, vet visits, trick training, socialization, and daily adventures. I’m the one friends and family always call to dogsit because they know I treat every pup like my own. What sets me apart is that my heart is 100% in it. This isn’t just a job. There is nothing I care about more than animal welfare!

Katrina was wonderful with Revy. She was super communicative: sending pictures, telling us what he was up to and replying back to queries almost immediately. I think Revy enjoyed his time with Katrina and Paisley.

Katrina is so helpful and considerate especially since my dog is an old lady. She was able to feed her and took such great care of her!! Will definitely be using her services again❤️
