About Katrin

Hello pet owners! I am local to the Northern Beaches area. Dogs are my life. I treat every dog with the respect and love they give us. Having grown up with dogs, and having had many dogs myself throughout my life I value time with dogs immensely - I have been looking after other people's fur babies for a while in form of dog sitting, walking, or company. I love walking and exercising or playing with your dog(s) or just spending time and being a companion, providing security and safety for the pups in the best possible way. Additional services would be lots of belly rubs, cuddle time, heaps of attention, and some training if needed. 

I am very serious about providing as close-to-home standards for your dog as possible, if you have preferences or habits, please share them along, I am happy to accommodate. Of course, I am happy to feed the dog as needed and there will always be access to fresh water and outdoor areas. I am usually going for walks 2 or 3 times a day and additionally will take your dog out whenever it needs to go to the toilet. The same stands for medication or routine meds like tick and worms, I have no problem incorporating those in the routine. Should there be any concern or anything outside the norm I will be in touch with you first to see if I need to get a vet or specialist involved and I usually share pictures and videos of your pet throughout the stay to keep you posted on what he/she/it is up to. We all love our furry friends so it is very normal I will keep you posted with footage on a daily basis. 

So far I have only ever looked after one dog at a time but I am open to multiple pups if needed and if they are used to each other. I work full time, online, remote. I can work flexible times and / or around others' schedules from wherever there is Wifi. When sitting, I am also happy to work around your preferences, rules, and routines to provide the most familiar experience possible for the dog within their known environment. I am not allowed a dog on my own at the moment so would love to pay it forward by looking after your best friend when needed. I am responsible, organised, caring, and reliable. I have also trained a number of dogs or helped reinforce drills and commands. Please get in touch with questions. 

I can do pick up and drop-offs, if those are far from the sitting place or very early /late let's discuss the best way to handle it. 

You will have my contact details if needed to be in touch, of course. 

If you think that sounds good and you'd need a pet (and or house) sitter while away, please know. 

For multi day sits , I am also agreeing to complete the housekeeping and will treat your home in the most respectful way. I am happy to look after your plants and other things that need attention while you are away. (rubbish bins, mail collection, tidy up). I am a very private person and I respect your privacy and your private space equally.

As our dog Daisy is a Covid puppy I was worried about leaving her for a couple of days. However With Kat there was no need to worry Daisy had a ball with lots of walks during they day and tummy rubs at night I think Daisy is missing Kat just a little now we are home. We will be using Kat again.

Katrin was a delight to deal with. Our golden retriever puppy loved her walks with Katrin, particularly being taken to the dog beach.

Katrin is reliable and was a huge help the week my family was in isolation.

I’d highly recommend her.

I speak English & German
< 5 years of experience
I am currently not allowed to have dogs at my place, however, this might change in the future. So for the time being all I can offer is to sit at your house and look after the dog, taking my work(day) with me and adopting your environment for the time of the sit. I have a police clearance certificate if needed.
