Kats TLC walks

Pet care experience

Hello, Katrina here, but you can call me Kat! I am a responsible, respectful and knowledgeable pet owner and walker. I take this job very seriously as, I know how special and important quality care is for our beloved pets. I am an understanding person, so I truly honor and respect the access that I have in coming to your home at all times, and making sure my home is the best environment to board. I’ve grown up around cats and dogs. They are the most special beings I have had the honor to loved and be loved by! My 17 year old American -short-hair cat, felix passed in 2020, as my 13 year old Chihuahua/pincher mixed followed him a few days later. The following year Rueger, blue nose/staffy went away suddenly. The last of the pack, and most recent (dec 2022) was Morgan our special 14 year old red nose. Rocky was a beautiful accident from a doggy sleepover...he came to us soon after Rueger passed away. We weren’t sure if that would be the best decision for a morgan. But it was, they gave each other so much love and comfort. It was one of the most precious things to have witnessed! A couple months after Morgan passed, we received a call from Rockys moms owner, asking for us to take her in. We did not hesitate as we wanted to help, and knew reuniting rocky with his mom would not only be the cutest thing ever! But also, give rocky some extra TLC!! My love for animals will never be diminished from these hard loses and I will always be a pet mama no matter what. I seek to give that love on our little walks/care to your dog. I know how important it is to be able to truly care for a pet. I also understand the difficulty of not being able to give your pets what they need due to the demands of life, such as work and health in balances. So it brings me a lot of joy to do this work. With all that said; I will take great care of your pets, treat them with the best care suited for you both (all). I will gladly give a detailed or short review of our walks and updates through the day in whatever way works best for you. Oh! And I quickly/easily take GREAT pictures of your dog on our walk (as required) for you to enjoy. I hope to meet you and your pet soon! :)

Jacques had a great time at daycare with Katrina! He had some great doggy friends to play with which he was so excited about. Katrina is sooo sweet and kind and a definite animal lover. She sent me pictures and updates and I felt very comfortable with him there. We both look forward to using her again!

Katrina is a life saver during my crazy work weeks. I love not having to commit to a regular dog walker. She's trust worthy and a great communicator and Sofie loves her!

I messaged Katrina last minute when I suddenly came down with something and didn't have the energy to walk my dog. Katrina was so wonderful in that she was there for us the next morning ready to take sofie on an adventure. Sofie was hesitant at first as we've never used the dog walking services (boarding usually), but on the second walk of the day, Sofie ran up to her when she arrived. Very grateful that Katrina was able to help us out AND she's a super sweet energetic person to have around your pet.

Katrina was a great sitter for my cat, Claire. Claire is a bit particular and doesn't like everyone she meets, but she loved Katrina instantly. It gave me peace of mind knowing that Claire had such a great sitter while I was gone. Katrina even brought her some toys and treats for her check-ins. Highly recommended!
