Animals are good for the soul :-)
AVAILABILITY: I am unavailable on the following dates. If there are any changes, I will update this section. - Thursday September 8th– Monday September 21st. I will be off grid and will not receive any messages until I am back - Friday October 16th - Sunday October 25th ABOUT ME: I currently have a special needs kitty named Owen (3 years old) and Dublin (7 years old), my adorable polydactyl cutie. Growing up, I wasn’t allowed to have pets at home, but I had the joy of riding horses and caring for animals on my aunt’s farm. When I turned 18, I finally became a pet parent and have had fur babies ever since! I worked as a Vet Tech for five years while living in Arizona, where I gained valuable experience administering medications (oral, transdermal and injectable) and IV fluids to a variety of animals, including my own. Over the years, I’ve cared for puppies, kittens, adult and senior pets, as well as special needs babies—including my own. I’m experienced in preparing special diets and accommodating unique care requests to ensure pets receive the best possible attention while their owners are away. Animals have brought immense joy into my life, and beyond caring for my own, I’ve also been an ‘auntie’ to puppies, dogs, horses, and even cows!

Safety, trust & environment
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR CARE: If your fur baby requires medication (oral, transdermal, or injections), IV fluids, special diets, or has favorite toys and treats, I’m comfortable handling their care. I’m also familiar with automatic litter boxes and feeders. Just let me know, and I’ll ensure they receive the best care possible while you’re away. DOG WALKING: If I’m walking your fur baby, how are they on a leash? Are there specific areas they love or places to avoid? How do they react when passing other dogs? Do they have a favorite toy they like to bring along on walks? Let me know any important details so I can make their walks enjoyable and safe!
Ratings and reviews
I plan to hire Katrina again!! She sent me messages and pictures that showed my cat Max was getting special attention with play time and petting. And I felt confident in Katrina's skill and understanding of the procedure for giving Max his insulin injections which allowed me to set aside my worries while I was on vacation.
I have a very busy on-call schedule working to respond to national disasters and provide service for first responders with AT&T. Katrina has been amazing, and was willing to work with me through some of the hardest moments so I knew my pets were in good hands while I was away.
Katrina is so reliable and amazing to our dogs. So grateful ❣️
Katrina was so amazing! She was so reliable and communicative. She made us feel so comfortable on our getaway trip that our dogs were taken care of. We will 100000% rebook with her when we are in need of another dog sitter! Thank you Katrina <3
We had a last minute type of situation, and Katrina was very communicative, to say the least! She provided care for our pup in our home sending lots of great pictures. We would highly recommend Katrina!
Katrina was wonderful with our 120 pound pup. We have never used Rover before and were a bit nervous. But Katrina made it easy and we and our pup felt great leaving him in Katrina’s care!

- ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO KNOW BEFORE CARING FOR YOUR FUR BABY: Is there anything I should be aware of when caring for your fur baby? Do they have any dislikes—such as other dogs, cats, animals, people, or kids? Are they allergic to anything? Do they have any unique or unusual behaviors I should know about? If there are any other important details, I’d love to hear them so I can provide the best possible care!"
