Katrina can care for
Availability
I am a dedicated and compassionate pet sitter with a genuine love for animals. As a full time working mom, pet care is a meaningful and structured part of my daily routine. I understand the importance of maintaining a safe, consistent, and loving environment for your fur babies, whether it’s during overnight stays, drop-ins, or daily walks. My 8 year old daughter joins me for pet care appointments, and she has grown up learning how to respectfully interact with animals. She’s incredibly calm, gentle, and knowledgeable about animal behavior. Together, we make a great team, offering your pets not just care, but companionship and kindness. You can feel confident knowing that your pets are in responsible, reliable hands. I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own, and I look forward to meeting yours! ❤️😊

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a customer’s home, my top priorities are safety, routine, and comfort. I closely follow all instructions to maintain your pet’s regular schedule, whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, walks, medication, or playtime. I treat your home with the utmost respect and always aim to leave it just as you left it. My daughter who always joins me, is very gentle and respectful with animals. She’s grown up learning proper pet etiquette and is always supervised. Together, we create a calm, caring environment that helps pets feel safe and loved. I also always provide regular updates to keep you informed and reassured while you’re away.
Information Katrina M. would like to know about your pet
It’s important for me to know any specific needs or preferences your pet may have, such as medication schedules, how they prefer to be approached or picked up, or any behavioral quirks. Understanding your pet’s personality and routine ahead of time helps me provide the most comfortable, attentive, and personalized care possible.
A typical day
A typical day includes getting outside for a long walk and spending time playing fetch with a ball or frisbee. I love seeing the excitement and energy dogs bring, and I make it a priority to engage them both physically and mentally. Whether it’s through movement, play, or positive interaction, I aim to keep them active, happy, and stimulated throughout the visit.

Animals Are Truly My Heart ❤️
Pet care experience
What sets me apart from other sitters is my professional background and lifelong passion for animals. I began caring for pets during a high school internship at a veterinary clinic, which led to hands on experience as a vet tech. Over the years, I’ve continued to care for a wide variety of animals with different needs, temperaments, and medical conditions. Beyond my experience, I offer a calm, reliable presence and treat every pet as if they were my own, providing not just care, but genuine companionship.

Reviews
Katrina is always reliable and our dog loves seeing her. Thanks so much, Katrina !!
Katrina took excellent care of our dog Bella and our house! We received frequent communication on how Bella was doing and lots of pictures. We would definitely recommend her and will use her again! It was our first time having a dog sitter at the house and was a great experience!
We are so grateful to Katrina for her excellent care! She went above and beyond. And we loved the photos and daily updates and messages. If you’re looking for someone to watch your sweet pet babies, Katrina is great!
I can't say enough about Katrina. I feel like I have gained a very special person in my life. I will never hesitate to "take that trip" again! I knew my boys would be in great hands the minute I met her and I was right. Amazing care and communication.
