Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable and Attentive Pet Sitter
Hello, I'm Katrina, 32, and have recently moved to Inverness! I pet-sat for years in Glasgow and have grown up with a huge playful cat called Alfie who I miss so I have lots of extra love and attention to give to other pets needing some company and care! I've had pets my whole life - from budgies, hamsters, a pony and cats and have many friends with dogs! It makes me incredibly happy to be around animals and I put time and effort into them having a fun and comfortable time when their owner is away. I'm also used to different behaviour in cats and have much experience in handling them. I work completely remote (with no resident pets) which allows great flexibility when pet sitting. I spend a lot of weekends hiking and exploring, and am quite active, so would enjoy going for long walks with your dog if it suited them. I also have a car so am able to travel. I am available for home visits once or twice a day, dog walking and can offer board. I am also happy to discuss any additional needs. I'm friendly, reliable, a great communicator and flexible outwith working hours - please get in touch :) I will also be available throughout the summer but will update availability as soon as I know when. Thank you!

Ratings and reviews
Bailey had a great time. Came home happy.
Katrina was absolutely fantastic with our dog! She was friendly and took such good care of our fluffy dafty that he would pull on the lead to get to see her in the morning. She was reliable and an excellent communicator, l cannot recommend her highly enough.
Katrina was brilliant. Easy to communicate with. She offered a get to know meeting before the booking. Lizzie was extremely well looked after and Katrina provided updates all throughout her stay. Highly recommended and will definitely be using again.
Riemu had an amazing time at Katrina’s, she would have happily stayed there longer, snoozing on the sofa!! She warmed to Katrina straight away and was very contented when I picked her up. Katrina was great at providing updates and pictures. Riemu also had a sore leg and Katrina adapted Riemu’s care to accommodate this, which I really appreciated. Thank you from me and Riemu!!!
Katrina is a wonderful, reliable, and caring animal lover who I trust to look after my pets as if they were her own. She has cared for my cat on multiple occasions and always demonstrates professionalism, excellent communication, and genuine affection. Animals are naturally drawn to her calm and kind energy, which immediately puts them at ease. Having had many pets herself (cats, dogs, and even small rodents) she understands how hard it can be to leave them in someone else’s care. She goes out of her way to keep you updated regularly and to make both you and your pet feel completely comfortable. My cat is always happy and well cared for in Katrina’s presence, and I consistently return to a clean home and a relaxed, content pet. I fully trust Katrina with the care of my animals and would confidently recommend her to anyone seeking a responsible and dependable pet sitter.
Hi! As Katrina's mother, I can testify to her suitability for being a responsible and loving pet caregiver. For over 30 years she has had pets of all sorts and has cared for them herself. She has always loved animals since she was tiny and when she has been unable to have pets of her own, enjoys the opportunities of caring for other people's pets. I wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend her for this opportunity.
