Highlights
Pet care experience
Alpine Animal Services
Since I was born I have had dogs in my life and have always had a love of caring for pets of all types. I have administered eye drops and insulin shots for family pets when they were aging. I give each pet extra love. In the past I have done overnight stays for a boss watching their two dogs; a ridgeback and pit bull along with their chameleon. I’ve had lizards, fish, and cared for my roommates snake and shepherd mix while she was out of town or working late nights. I started my business, Alpine Animal Services in 2020, and have cared for a countless number of animals. Each one I hold dear to my heart. When I say I will care for your animal and loved one, I mean it to the depths of my core and being. I promise to protect, care for, and keep your animal safe while in my care. I have carried insurance since day one to ensure extra care and safety for your loved ones. I recently obtained a certification in Animal Search and Rescue, as animal welfare is a high priority and passion of mine. I volunteer and have a close relationship with CARE in Glenwood. In progress, I will be completing a Fear Free program with ASPCA. With more plans to continue learning about animal behavior and understanding the different kinds of animals. My husband and I have rescued 6 pets together. We rescued three cats at the age of 8 weeks from; CARE, Rory (5), and Wallace (10) from the Aspen Animal Shelter. Rory is a tabby cat, Wallace is a long-haired black cat. Our most recent cat, Purrci, is not a rescued animal, she’s great either way and deserves the same love and care as a rescue, We have three dogs; lucky (12) is from aspen animal shelter and is a shih tzu/poodle mix, Zoey (10), is from CARE and is a terrier/shih tzu/poodle mix, and our youngest, Koda (3) is from Rifle Animal Shelter/Journey Home Animal Shelter, he is a black lab/shepherd mix. We also have a 6-year-old daughter who has grown up with all of these animals. The animals get a long very well. Koda loves playing with any of the animals when they are up to it. The ultimate goal for this endeavor is to have an animal sanctuary where animals and reptiles have a place to call home. Think of, those animals/reptiles, that sit in shelters for months on end, with the possibility of being euthanized. We’ll have a place for them in our sanctuary, our hearts, and home. We’re so excited for what’s to come!

Ratings and reviews
Katrina was wonderful. She took notes while running through Dually's instructions during the meet and greet, was super communicative, and it seemed like Dually had a great time and was well taken care of. We got a great video of him frolicking in the snow. 😊

Very responsive and sweet with our pup!

Katrina was very nice to come do a meet and greet with my pups before coming to do drop ins so I could show her where stuff was and she could meet my dogs. She was very communicative. It was great to not have to worry about my dogs while I had long work days. I would definitely have her watch my dogs again.


Katrina is the best! My dogs loved having her come over, and she took excellent care of them. I would definitely recommend, and will use her services again next time I go away.


Really punctual and sent lots of check in photos. Our kitties seem to really like her a lot!


Our Lab had a great time! Katrina sent photos during the day which we appreciated.

Schedule
An ideal situation would be that the pet tolerates children, as I tend to bring my 6-year-old little girl with me from time-to-time. I am available Monday-Thursday, and Operate from 8-5pm. Services include; walks, hikes, or check-ins.
Prices include all fees.
