Your Pet’s New Best Friend 🐈🐶

Hi there! My name is Kathlena, and I’m an animal lover with a big heart and plenty of experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and understand how much they mean to their families. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or keeping up with routines, I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m responsible, dependable, and treat every animal like my own. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and follow any special instructions so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in great hands. If you’re looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter or walker, I’d love to help make your pet’s day a little brighter! 🐾

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for any pet. I carefully monitor all pets to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and following their normal routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions, maintain consistent communication, and ensure the home remains exactly as I found it. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and make sure they always feel secure and cared for in their familiar environment.

Kathlena did an awesome job watching my puppy, Soggy, and my dog, Snowball. She went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of, happy, and comfortable while I was away. She kept me updated the whole time, sent pictures, and made sure their routines stayed consistent. When I got back, both dogs were relaxed, clean, and clearly loved their time with her. It’s not easy finding someone you can really trust with your pets, but Kathlena proved she’s the real deal—responsible, caring, and dependable. I’d absolutely have her watch my dogs again anytime.

Kathlena took care of my two birds, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible job she did! She went above and beyond in every way—making sure they were not only fed and safe but also happy and entertained. She kept me updated with photos and messages, so I always felt at ease knowing my birds were in such caring hands. When I came home, everything was spotless, and my birds were clearly comfortable and content. It’s rare to find someone so thoughtful, reliable, and genuinely passionate about animals. I highly recommend Kathlena to anyone looking for someone who treats pets like family!

Schedule

I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be home most of the day, which is perfect for caring for pets. This means I can give frequent potty breaks, walks, and playtime while keeping pets company and sticking closely to their normal routine.

It’s very important for me to know each pet’s routine and personality before caring for them. I like to learn about their feeding schedule, favorite activities, and how they do on walks or around other animals. I also ask about any special needs, medications, allergies, or fears (like loud noises or new people). Knowing how a pet communicates—whether they’re shy, playful, or protective—helps me make them feel safe and comfortable. I also like to know any training cues or house rules the owner uses so I can stay consistent with their routine.
