Cat Sitting in Egan

“This was my first time using Rover and I'm so glad I found Katrina! She took great care of my elderly kitty who requires medication and sent me pictures and updates after each visit to let me know how he was doing. It was very comforting knowing that he was well taken care of while we were away! I will definitely use Katrina again.”

About: Hello! I was born in Europe, Belarus, so have been surrounded by cats my entire life, caring for them since I was a child. My love and respect for cats runs deep; I admire their sense of independence, intelligence, and unique, rich personalities. I grew up in a multi-cat household, first with tabby rescues, and later with a Siberian and a Bombay. I currently care for both of them; Ophelia (my picky, high-class Siberian) and Ebbi (my playful, excitable Bombay rescue). They’ve taught me how to adjust to different feline temperaments, needs, and boundaries with patience and understanding. I never force interaction, I always let the cat lead. If a cat prefers space, I care for them quietly from a respectful distance. If they’re social, I kneel to their level, offer my hand, and wait for permission to connect. I truly believe every cat deserves to feel safe, understood, and respected in their own home. My strengths include caring for shy or particular cats, reading body language, and building trust slowly and gently. I’m not here just to scoop litter and go, I’m here to provide calm, loving care tailored to each cat’s comfort zone. (I live in Hemet but I also have flexible access to Oceanside on a daily basis, so I can easily reach beyond Hemet’s location to get to your kitty!) My skills include: - Lifelong feline care (15+ years) - Senior cat experience - At least month-old kitten experience - Rescue cat socialization - Respectful, cat-led interaction experience Services I do not provide: - Dog-sitting - Administering injections or complex medications I am currently unemployed, so the only way I will be able to get busy is if my schedule is filled with the duty of taking care of your little kitties! I am available for the entire week, weekends included, I can easily drop-in the day after a booking request if it is local. I live flexibly with my mother in Oceanside as well, so I can easily come and pet-sit your kitty from a farther location as necessary, as long as I hear from you at least 2 days in advance! I do not have a busy schedule, rarely plan for any trips, leave my home, or get busy. I have graduated, and I do not work or volunteer anywhere else, so I would be more than ready to come and visit your cat or cats at any time! First and foremost when it comes to cat care in another client's home, I need to be able to know their preferences and routines! Cats are very picky about their routine, and if it is broken they may get stressed out. I respect details when it comes to taking care of your kitty: whether they prefer kibble or wet food, if they take small snacks, if they need to be played with, or if they get fussy when their litterbox is not filled the right way. Please let me know if your cat is shy or outgoing, allowed outside or strictly indoors, or if there are off-limits areas in the home (I know some clever kitties will try to trick me into opening a “forbidden” door!). The more I know about your cat’s habits and personality, the better I can provide calm, respectful care tailored just for them.

“Amazing with Benny & very reliable!”

About: I’ve always treated my own dogs like family, and I’ll do the same for yours. I have experience caring for both energetic puppies and sweet senior dogs—whether they need playtime, training, or a little extra patience and comfort. What sets me apart is that I truly love what I do. Your dog won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for, understood, and loved like they’re my own. I have a dog of my own so I know what it’s like working around to clock tending to their needs and adding in playtime if they are energetic or including walks as it’s good for me and them. I’m very attentive and home everyday to provide them around the clock attention Pets in my home have a lot of freedom as they are welcomed on furniture and in beds if they want, depending on your dogs routine im able to adjust accordingly.

About: What makes me different from other sitters is that I’ve always had dogs and I truly love being around them. I treat every dog like they’re my own and do everything I can to make them feel safe, loved, and happy. Over the years, many friends and neighbors have trusted me to watch their dogs because they know I’m caring and responsible. I’ve helped with both puppies and older dogs, and I always give them the attention they need. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. Everyday i make time to walk my dogs in the morning and at night at the park. I enjoy spending time with animals, so I always make time to feed them, play with them, take them on walks, and make sure they’re happy and comfortable. Whether it’s just part of my day or something I plan for during the week, I always make sure the pets I care for are a top priority When I care for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow any instructions given, like feeding schedules, walks, or any special needs. I spend time playing with them, giving them attention, and making sure they’re not feeling lonely or stressed. I will always try my best to keep their routine as close to normal as possible.

“Great service and really showed lots of care for my animal, and was patient with the pick up and drop off situation. Also kept me updated on how eris was doing while staying with them, thanks so much!!”

About: I've raised my golden retriever, Cooper, since he was a puppy — he's now 8 years old and 90 lbs! Thanks to him, I’m very comfortable with large dogs and know how to handle leash pulling, high energy, and basic training. I’ve also helped friends with their litters of puppies and have experience giving medication like pills and ear treatments. I’ve cared for nervous or shy dogs, including one neighbor’s pup who was sad their owner left, but was playing with the other dogs by the second day. I always take my time to build trust and treat every dog like my own. What sets me apart is that I’m playful and active — I can even run with your dog if they enjoy that! I’m also very detail-oriented: I always take notes to make sure I follow feeding schedules, routines, or medication instructions exactly. My schedule is flexible, so I can be reliable and consistent, especially for recurring walks or visits. I genuinely love meeting new dogs, and I know how important it is for pet owners to feel confident their dog is in good hands. I’ll treat your dog like family and can send photo or video updates upon request. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I currently work part-time three days a week (Monday–Wednesday, 7:00 AM to 2:30 PM), and I’m free the rest of the week with a very open and flexible schedule. This gives me plenty of time for dog walking and drop-in visits in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings — even on short notice. Since I live locally and stay active, I’m available for recurring walks or one-time visits depending on your dog’s needs. I’m reliable, on-time, and happy to adjust my schedule to fit yours whenever possible. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I usually take notes in order to follow all instructions carefully — whether it's feeding, medication, locking up, or keeping to a specific walking route. I'll double-check doors, gates, and leashes to make sure your pet is safe and secure. I've learned from Cooper who will run outside, so I always open doors slowly so they don't escape. Every dog is different, so I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether they’re shy, energetic, or need extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe and relaxed while you're away.

“Another great trip not having to worry about our pups! Melinda has been amazing as always in taking care of our animals.”

“BreeAnna did an amazing job taking care of my 2 kitties. I was gone for a whole month and was worried about leaving my cats for so long for the first time but BreeAnna took such good care of them that I was able to relax and enjoy my time. She was very communicative and took great pictures every day so that I could see that my little ones were not just doing well but were also happy. She spent time playing with them and giving them cuddles. Thank you so much for everything you did to take care of Mochi and Shooky while I was gone!”

About: **Before booking.... I work full time Mon - Thurs during the day and half day on Fri, and I am not home during that time. I am available any time after I get off of work. If your baby(ies) are ok being in a crate all day, while I am at work, I don't have a problem keeping them during the day as well. Saturday and Sunday I am available all day.** For some reason this site doesn't show this information. I have grown up around and have been around dogs my whole life. I have experience with all sizes of dogs and ages. Some breeds I have experience with are Pit Bulls, Boxers, Mini Pins, Chihuahua, Blue Healer, Dingo, and the list goes on! The last office job I had also included dog sitting for the owner and his wife's dogs. They kept me good company and visa versa. Dogs put me in a happy place and are a good stress relief as well for me. Some of my friends call me the dog whisperer. I seem to give the dogs with anxiety a sense of ease when I am around them. I love to pet them and rub around their favorite spots that relax them. I.E, ears, belly, and neck. Sometimes I tend to find myself talking to them like they are a little baby lol I did have a fur baby living with me, but unfortunately I had to put him down at the end of Dec, 2021. I work full time Mon - Thurs during the day and half day on Fri and I am not at home during that time. I am available any time after I get off of work. If your baby(ies) are ok being in a crate all day, while I am at work, I don't have a problem keeping them during the day as well. Saturday and Sunday I am available all day. I have a brick wall around the back area of my home, so it is hard for your fur baby to escape. I also have a doggie door for small dogs. I treat your babies just like I would treat mine, with lots of love and attention.

“Ehidin was a superb cat-sitter! Super flexible, communicative, friendly, and helpful! She was very understanding about a key mix-up (my fault) and was easy to reach and work with (even more appreciated due to it being the holidays). Additionally, I really loved the photo updates and info on my cat’s food intake and bathroom usage. Being away from my cat always makes me miss her, but Ehidin clearly cares about spending quality time with pets even if it’s just for a meal check-in. I will definitely reach out again when I need a cat check-in or sitter and I highly recommend Ehidin’s services! Thanks again!”
