Information Hua “Katrina” F. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to learn about their daily routine (feeding schedule and potty breaks)? What are their favorite activities? How do they behave around other dogs and people? If they have any fears or triggers. Plus, if they have any medical needs, special diets, allergies, or take any medications.

A typical day

Every day here is like a little adventure, all based around your pup’s own special schedule! We’ll rise and shine for a morning walk (gotta get those sniffs in early!), enjoy a yummy breakfast, and then dive into some playtime and trick training, because showing off new skills is very important business. After all that excitement, it’s time for a cozy nap, a quick potty break, and, of course, endless snuggles and cuddle sessions sprinkled throughout the day! We’ll head out for a nice, long sniff-venture in the afternoon, have a delicious dinner, and squeeze in a little more play before our bedtime break. Then it’s lights out and sweet dreams, all tucked in safe and sound. I stick to each pup’s routine like it’s our mission, and along the way, we’ll have lots of chats, because every pup has so many important secrets to tell!

Pet care experience

Hello pet parents! Your pup’s cozy little vacation home awaits! I’m Katrina, one of the 2,000 CPPS-Certified Professional Pet Sitters® in the U.S., as well as a dog trainer, Pet First Aid & CPR–certified caregiver, and professional groomer, with an award from the World Pet Association Grooming Competition. I focus on providing expert-level care and a structured daily routine, where every little pup feels right at home and receives lots and lots of love, cuddles, and snuggles while you’re away. I live near several pet-friendly parks, and pups enjoy three or more fun walks every day there. At home, pups enjoy enrichment and playtime activities such as socialization, basic manners practice, lots of toys, and interactive play. I love keeping pups mentally stimulated, confident, and happily engaged, almost like a little doggy enrichment program, so they feel fulfilled and surrounded by love. Safety and comfort are very important in my home. Sleeping areas, bowls, and shared spaces are sanitized using veterinary-grade disinfectants, and the house is kept at a comfortable 72°F. I also send daily updates and photos so you can share in your pup’s happy moments. Oh, and I share my home with my own 11-year-old toy poodle, Mickey, who’s been my sidekick since he was a baby. Here, your pup isn’t just a guest, they become part of the family. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup!

This was our best dog sitting experience! We loved how communicative Katrina was, how many pictures we got, and the attention and time she spent on our grooming services she provided during the stay. We would absolutely book her again and are so glad to find someone we can trust with our pup. 5/5!!

As always Luna had a great time with Katrina. She came home and went right to sleep, which tells me she played and got all her energy out ☺️. She takes such good care of my Velcro baby, I truly do appreciate it.

Hua / Katrina was phenomenal! My dog, Moka, is a highly energetic and excitable dog and Hua was able to care for her so well and was so accommodating. She kept me updated throughout the day with thoughtful notes and sent me videos/pictures of Moka. Hua is an amazing dog sitter and I would definitely have her care for Moka again.

Katrina did an amazing job taking care of our 12 week old rescue puppy, Penny. She did such a great job that we are hesitant to leave a review because we’re selfish and want her to be available next time we take a trip! She gave our girl lots of love and attention and provided comprehensive updates. This was our first time leaving Penny with a sitter and we were so happy she was with Katrina. While we were on vacation, we had a family medical emergency and knowing Penny was taken care of and we didn’t need to worry about her, was such a relief. If your pup is in under 30lbs, Katrina will give them love and personalized attention they deserve.
