Pet care is naturally part of my daily routine. As a professional photographer who works from home, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to give plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Every day starts with walks and playtime with my German Shepherd and Beagle, followed by some quiet time with my cat. Throughout the day, I plan my work around their needs making sure they get exercise, enrichment, and love. Because caring for animals is such a big part of my life already, welcoming new pets into my routine feels effortless and natural. Whether it’s morning walks, midday potty breaks, or evening play sessions, I love including furry friends in my daily rhythm.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets whether in my home or my client’s home safety and trust are always my top priorities. I take time to get to know each pet’s routine, comfort level, and any special needs they may have. In my home, pets are always supervised and kept in a clean, secure environment with plenty of love and attention. I make sure they have access to fresh water, a safe play space, and cozy resting areas. I also keep doors and gates secured at all times. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to help pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I respect the home, keep things tidy, and send regular updates so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. I believe trust is built through clear communication, consistency, and genuine care for each pet as if they were my own.

Information Katrina O. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know their diet, bathroom breaks, if they are trained/commands, how often they like to run/walk or play. Also any little quirks like not liking their ears or paws touched.

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about keeping your pets happy, safe, and loved. I love to stimulate dogs and cats both physically and mentally. For dogs, we’ll play fun games like fetch or tug-of-war, go on walks to explore all the new smells in my neighborhood, and, if they’re up for it, take a trip to the big park nearby for some extra playtime and adventure. For cats, I make sure they get just as much attention and enrichment. We’ll play with their favorite toys, do a little feather wand chasing or laser fun, and make sure they have cozy spots to nap and feel secure. Throughout the day, there’s plenty of time for cuddles, water breaks, treats (if allowed), and quiet time to help them relax. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, loved, and cared for just like they would with their favorite human.

Every pet deserves some extra fun

Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm surrounded by all kinds of animals, which gave me a deep love and understanding of pets from an early age. I have hands on experience in dog training and working with special needs pets. I’m a professional photographer and a proud fur mom to a loyal German Shepherd, a sweet Beagle, and a playful Oriental Shorthair cat. I love taking different routes on every walk, turning each outing into a new adventure for me and the pups. Whether your dog enjoys playful games, calm strolls, or energetic runs, I’ll match their pace and personality. My own dog takes daily medication, so I’m experienced in administering medicine in different ways to keep your pet healthy and comfortable. You’ll receive daily updates with pictures and videos so you can feel at ease knowing your furry friend is safe, happy, and loved. I also offer boarding at my home after a meet and greet with my dogs provided your pup is not cat aggressive. 📸 Bonus: Since I’m a dog sports and pet photographer, all bookings include complimentary professional photos if you’re interested. My schedule is extremely flexible, and I’m always reachable, so you’ll have peace of mind while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet and care for your furry loved ones like they’re my own.

Katrina takes such good care of my cats! They all have such unique personalities and she has patience with all of them and I can tell she truly cares for them. I’m always so happy to have her check on them when I’m away.
