Highlights
Pet care experience
I love my fur babies
We first had cats and then got our fist dog when I was 10. I would care for the cats and the dog and as I got older we would care for our neighbors dogs and cats when they would go out of town. When I started driving in high school friends of my mother would reach out and I would feed their animals and get their mail when they would go out of town. I continued to house/pet sit through college and after. Since going to a work from home schedule it has given me more freedom and flexibility to pet sit during the day/overnight. Before moving back to Oklahoma I had several people I would regularly pet sit for and they appreciated having someone consistent watching their pets.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client's home I prefer instructions be left in regards to the animals feeding schedules, treats, medications if applicable, and vet care. Especially with the first several times I care for a pet. I also appreciate being able to meet a pet before hand with the owner if possible so they are not scared when I show up and the owner is not present. Any detail abut the animals favorite toys are places to sit or sleep. Even bedtime routines are important for me to know, to help reduce your pet's stress while you are away. Also if you have an alarm I will turn it on an off any time I am entering or leaving your home. I try to be free of the home before you arrive back unless you prefer I be there when you arrive home. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to ask.
Ratings and reviews
I love coming home, knowing my Heidi was well taken care of and bugged on
Katrina was incredible. I’ve never used a housesitter to watch our fur babies while away and was a little apprehensive but this was a wonderful experience. Katrina sent updates and pics during our trip. Our furbabies were sleeping next to her by night 2 - which told me they trusted and liked her. House was cleaner when we got home than when we left. I’d book Katrina again and again. She’s the best!!
We just love Kate. The dogs are very well cared for, the house is tidy and secure. We can actually relax on vacation and not worry. We are repeat customers and will hire Kate as long as shes willing
We’ve used Katrina a couple time before. When we figured out our plans to travel over seas for two weeks, we knew Katrina would be the perfect person to help us! She is always friendly and responsive. She even cleaned up the house a bit before we got home. We were never worried about our very needy German shepherd the entire trip. We knew he was in safe hands! Would highly recommend and we will be reaching out to Katrina for our next trip!
We just love katrina and so do Kiwi and Rudy. She’s reliable, loves the dogs, sends plenty of pictures, and cares for the house. Can’t wait till August for our next booking
We left the country for 10 days leaving Katrina to care for our dog, cat and house sit. She did an awesome job taking care of everything. She sent pictures and even a couple videos of our fur family and it was easy to see they were being very well taken care of. Katrina is dependable, honest, friendly and loves animals. I highly recommend her to care for your pets, house and any other thing you may need that she does.

Schedule
I work from home so I have the freedom to work from anywhere. I just need a good wifi connection or I utilize my work hotspot. I can work from a home for the full day or part of the day if a pet is not used to being alone for long stretches. I'm able to spend the night but would need to be able to leave an check on my own animals at least once or twice a day. I'm also able to do casual swing by and feedings where I hang out for just a few hours with the animals if an overnight stay is not required.

- If there is a special routine at bedtime or at meals please let me know. Also if your dog prefers to eat at a certain time or go for a walk by a certain. Or if your dog is used to being in bed by a certain time please provide those details so that I can stay as close to their normal schedule as possible.
