Highlights
Pet care experience
I will care for your pet like mine
I live in an 800sq ft 1 bedroom apartment. I usually keep cats in the bedroom and dogs in the living room or whatever works. If you are not ok with that, please confirm with me if I am boarding any other pets. Not spayed pets are ok and I make sure there is nothing to worry about. I absolutely love pets and even after they come back to their actual home, I still look for them around my apartment. They also get used to me very quickly because I give them a lot of attention and play time. Once a friend asked me to take care of their pet, and that’s when it all started. So I have been taking care of pets professionally for the past 2 years and it has been a real pleasure for me. In my life, I have had 10 cats and 2 dogs (German Shepherd) so I know how to act in any situation, even emergency. I have experience with pets that have separation anxiety. I am strong and can handle even the wildest creatures and treat them gently even if they misbehave. I do not raise my voice and I do not have any strict rules. I won't keep your pet like in a "prison cell". Playing with pets is one of my most favorite things to do. I also love running and if requested, I can take your pup for some physical activity in a park. I always stop and look around before I cross the street and never cross on red light. I love taking photos of pets and if you would like, I can send you photos of them daily. I do not have experience in grooming but I will be happy to give your pet a bath so it's clean and fresh when you pick it up. The most important to me is to create a safe and loving environment for your best friend so you can have peace of mind while you are away.

Katrina is the perfect pet sitter! Looking forward to her expert support in the future for Truffles!
Katrina is amazing!! She takes really good care of my puppies and they enjoy spending time with her as well. She is very communicative and always updates me on how my dogs are doing. She is a really great pet sitter!
Katrina is a lifesaver. We needed a sitter for Max last minute while on vacation. It was our first time using Rover and having Katrina as our sitter eased our anxiety, especially with Max being an anxious & slightly reactive dog with new people. She was really easy to talk to, updated us throughout the day, knows how to handle dogs, and Max warmed up to her quickly. Thank you again Katrina!
We had a wonderful experience with Katrina! From the beginning, they were communicative, reliable, and made us feel completely at ease leaving dodger in their care. They provided regular updates, photos, and let us know how our pup was doing throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. It was clear that dodger was well cared for, comfortable, and received plenty of attention and affection
Katrina was so amazing! Excellent with communicating and made me feel so comfortable leaving him. She made my pet feel at home. He didn’t want to leave. 10 out of 10 would recommend, leave your pet with Katrina!
Katrina was a wonderful sitter! She sent updates and stayed in good communication. She was also flexible with pick-up time when I hit unexpected holiday traffic on my way back to LA. Thank you Katrina for taking good care of Louie!

Schedule
I come from Poland and I am a Polish/American citizen. I am currently a nursing student at LA City College. Most of my classes are online so I spend 70% of my time at home. I have a surveillance camera in my apartment to check on pets and talk to them while I am gone. I do have toys, balls, food bowls, dog and cat beds, and cat scratchers. I can also provide my own litter box (your own litter is preferred).
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am a trustworthy and responsible person. Your pet is the most important when it is in my hands. I live in a peaceful neighborhood with a lot of greenery to take dogs on walks. I have no strict rules around my house. I don't mind having your pet on my furniture or have it sleep with me (unless you're not ok with that). I never ever lock pets in the bathroom or cage, or even in the darkness alone. I always leave a small light on. Also, if it is hot/cold outside, I make sure to keep comfortable temperature inside. Kitties love my portable heaters! Also, I have a Sony camera which I use to take pretty pictures of the little ones (if interested, let me know).
A typical day
First thing - morning walk. The pets get fed first! That's the rule. We check out all the green grasses in the neighborhood. If it's a cat, we will probably have some play time inside. Then we have a treat (lickable tube for cats and some dog treats). Then I continue to walk dogs few times throughout the day. I love running with dogs, snuggling with cats, and exploring LA!
