Pet care experience
⭐️ Overnight Care+Full-Day Stays ⭐️
I have 15 years of experience providing reliable, loving pet care for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and even alpacas. I specialize in overnight house sitting, where I stay at your home so your pets can remain comfortable in their own environment. I offer two levels overnight/house-stay care: • Standard House Sitting – I stay overnight and handle all morning and evening care. I’m usually able to step out for a few hours during the day. • Full-Day Presence – I stay at your home for most or all of the day in addition to overnight care. This option is priced higher to reflect the increased time commitment and is ideal for puppies, seniors, anxious pets, or when you prefer someone present the majority of the time. I have personal experience with special-needs dogs and am comfortable administering medication, caring for senior pets, and giving extra patience when needed. I’m available 24/7 and always send photo and video updates throughout the stay so you know your pets are doing well. I truly love animals and treat every pet like my own. If you’re looking for dependable overnight care with the option for more daytime presence when needed, I’d be happy to help.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a nice single bedroom apartment! The rail trail is close to me so I can walk them along that for nice outside exercise. There is lots of love to be shared! IMPORTANT BELOW 👇🏼 For any overnight stays I will tend to have my partner/fiancé with me. He comes to all my meet and greets as currently we just have one car for right now. His name is Ken.
Ratings and reviews
Katrina was very kind and our dogs warmed up to her quickly!
I hired Katrina and Ken to stay at my house and look after my 2 kittens for 2 weeks this August. The kittens are fine. However I am not happy with the service provided by Katrina and Ken. The exterior of the house was being painted by a friend while I was away. She was here 5 days a week from 8-4. Katrina and Ken were usually not here when she was. She fed the kittens several times when it was clear no one had been home and the kittens seemed frantically hungry. The litter box was never cleaned and she cleaned it. I showed Katrina where the nail clippers were and described my burrito wrapping method for cutting their nails and asked her to cut them, to which she agreed. When I got home it was clear this had not been done from all the snag holes in comforter covers and upholstery. She told me she forgot. The water bowl was slimy from not being washed. They left wet towels thrown over the tub and shower door, left the bed with sheets and pillows tossed around as though they had just gotten up, moved a fan from my room to theirs and did not put it back, moved a glass lamp from the bureau in their room onto the floor and left it there, did not take out the garbage, left used coffee cups on the counter, an empty pizza box on the porch. I would not hire them again.
Katrina was amazing! She helped us out last minute, was super go-with-the-flow, and took great care of our pets. She made everything so easy, and I would definitely recommend her!
Katrina was in our home with our two big kittens/small cats for just under a week. My husband and I were a bit worried about leaving them with a sitter, since they are only three months old, but gwe came home to very happy kitties, and a well-cared for house. Communication was good while we were away; pictures arrived frequently. I would use Katrina again to watch our beloved cats!
Katrina and her boyfriend, Ken, were very communicative, kind, and genuinely loved animals. Our dog, Jack, is a nervous boy, but they did the best they could in calming his nerves, and putting in the effort to gain his trust. I highly recommend!
Kat is a lovely young lady! She is so caring I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her.
