Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, takes medication, does not to be touched in certain places, and if they like to play with any certain toys. The more information I know about your animal ahead of time, the better!

A typical day

I love to walk and run around the neighborhood and explore parks I haven’t been to. I also enjoy playing with dogs, throwing sticks and balls and participating in any games they like to do.

Pets

Caring and attentive furball lover

Pet care experience

I love all kinds of animals- guinea pigs, dogs, goats, cows, cats, bunnies, hamsters, etc! I am a caring person who has been helping out neighbors by walking, feeding, and playing with their pets since I’ve been 13 years old! I’ve had pets my entire life. I also enjoy working with my hands, so I like to clips nails, brush animals, and clean their ears.

Katarina is fantastic, reliable, and made my dog happier than I’ve ever seen through her phenomenal photos. Your pet would be lucky to enjoy time with someone as wonderful as Katarina. Ten out of five stars.

Katarina did an excellent job taking care of our three cats while we were out of town. She was very attentive, great with our cats, very communicative (sending regular updates), and we'd absolutely hire her again!
