I can't say enough good things about Katrena and the way she handles my rambunctious dog! By the time she was done his walk he was exhausted and the only thing he could do was lay down on his bed! The only time he ever gets like that is with doggy daycare! Katrena is great at what she does, I will defiantly be using her services again.

Schedule

Pet care is part of my daily routine! I follow a structured but flexible schedule to meet each pet’s unique needs — from morning feedings and walks to playtime, grooming, and medication when needed. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and comfort throughout the day, whether it’s a puppy learning routines, a senior dog needing extra care, or a cat who enjoys quiet companionship.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or a client’s home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment tailored to each pet's needs. If in a clients home, I would need to bring my dog with me. In My Home: I offer a cozy, pet-friendly space where pets are treated like family. For dogs, I ensure they have access to a secure yard for play and relaxation, and I follow any training or health routines you’ve established. Cats have quiet, comfy spots to relax, along with engaging toys and activities to keep them stimulated. I make sure to maintain a clean and hygienic environment, including regular litter box cleaning, and I provide structured feeding, grooming, and playtime. In Your Home: I respect your pet’s familiar environment by maintaining their routines as closely as possible. I’ll follow your instructions on feeding, exercise, and any special care requirements, from administering medication to providing extra attention for senior pets. I focus on keeping your home secure and comfortable, following your rules for safety and cleanliness, and always ensuring your pet feels loved and cared for. Whether it’s taking extra care with your pet’s toys, keeping their space tidy, or simply giving them the comfort of a familiar face, I aim to make your pet feel safe and happy in your absence.

Pets

A typical day

When caring for your pets, I love to include fun, engaging activities that match their energy and personality! For Dogs: Playtime with balls, tug toys, or frisbees, plus walks or park adventures suited to their age and stamina. I also enjoy reinforcing training or teaching simple tricks using positive methods. For Cats: Interactive play with toys or lasers, cozy cuddle time, and plenty of enrichment through scratching posts and climbing spaces. For Both: Gentle grooming and brushing for bonding, plus basic training or enrichment games to keep them mentally active. Every pet is unique, and I tailor each day to their needs—making sure they’re happy, safe, and comfortable!

To provide the best care possible, I like to learn a bit about your pet’s routine and preferences! 1. Routine: • What’s your pet’s typical daily schedule (feeding, walks, playtime, naps)? • Do they have any specific habits or comfort routines? 2. Kennel Training: • Is your pet crate-trained or comfortable being in a kennel? • Where do they usually sleep (crate, bed, couch, specific room)? 3. Health & Medications: • Any health conditions or allergies I should know about? • Do they take medications or need special treatments? If so, what’s the schedule? 4. Feeding: • What’s their feeding schedule and portion size? • Any dietary restrictions, allergies, or special feeding instructions? 5. Socialization: • How do they interact with other pets (dogs, cats, etc.)? • Do they prefer social play or a quiet, separate environment? This info helps me tailor care to your pet’s needs—making sure they stay happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away!
