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
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.


i booked with Katrina for April 29th, for when I had a total Knee replacement surgery. I did leave a 2 page typed "Daily routine for Ruby and Delilah". I was very disappointed when I got home to find that 6 of the 8 water bowls I have throughout the house and yard for the girls, were empty. In the notes I left for her, on the first page it reads "During the day, you'll probably need to refill the water bowls. They both drink a lot of water, especially Delilah". I even left a large pitcher on the kitchen counter, full of water. The pitcher was still full of water and hadn't been moved. When I went to check on Delilah in her pen in the bedroom, I saw that both her bowls were bone dry. Additionally, I saw that her waterproof kennel pad was pulled away from the kennel panels. I pulled the pad over, and it was saturated with urine. It is obvious that Katrina had not taken Delilah out all morning/day, to go to the bathroom. Katrina responded back to me that she tried everything to get Delilah to come out. However, it should be noted, that on the 2nd page the notes I left, I also left the name and telephone of one of my neighbors who is also my emergency contact. For whatever reason, I guess she didn't think it was important enough to get Delilah to go outside, that she didn't attempt contact my neighbor/emergency contact for assistance in getting Delilah to go outside. Katrina sent me a text as she was leaving, that she'd checked on Delilah and was leaving. If she had checked on Delilah, she should've seen that the kennel pad was soaking wet, and that her 2 water bowls were empty. I am extremely disappointed in the lack of care for Delilah.


Katrina did a wonderful job watching our dog and cat. Our dog is a little difficult to read, afraid of a lot of things, but friendly. He warmed up to her rather quickly. She is very responsible, knows a LOT about cats and dogs and how to care for them. We are using her again in May for 10 days while we're out of the country. We have no worries with Katrina watching the house, our dog and our cat. We highly recommend hiring Katrina. You won't be sorry!


Katrina did an excellent job of looking after our two dogs in our home! She is masterful at knowing what dogs/pets need! We are very pleased and recommend her highly!

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.
