Pet care experience
I’ve had two dogs of my own and miss their companionship dearly. I’m comfortable with playing with your dog, snuggling them, taking them on walks, feeding and picking up after them, and anything that would make them happy!

Reviews
Katie has watched both of my cats, Mr. Tinkles and Pom Pom, many times. I cannot recommend her enough! She has been available for long periods as well as on short notice. She keeps me updated with photos of them, spends plenty of time giving them attention, and has given Mr. Tinkles his daily supplement. I always trust her in my home. On one occasion, when I left last minute and needed a cat sitter, she asked if my plants also needed to be attended to and if I wanted her to wash the dishes in my sink—things I had completely overlooked in my hasty trip home for a funeral. Given the sensitive nature of the last-minute trip, she even kindly left me (and the cats) a sympathy card. Katie is thoughtful, attentive to detail, and such a kind person. She is such a loving cat sitter; I love knowing Mr. Tinkles and Pom Pom are in good hands when I leave them. I highly endorse Katie and will always use her as my cat sitter!
Katrina was superb with my pets, Max (my dog) and Luna (my cat)! Max has special dietary needs, and she handled everything flawlessly—no issues at all. She made sure both pets felt comfortable and sent daily updates with sweet photos. I came home to a clean space and two very happy animals. You can tell she genuinely cares. Highly recommend and will definitely rebook!

Safety, trust & environment
I focus on enrichment with my cats, rotating out their toys and coming up with creative ways to keep them happy and healthy. I am also big on sticking to a feeding schedule so that my pets know what to expect each day.
Information Katrina V. would like to know about your pet
Most of my experience is caring for Keeshonds, a high-needs breed that requires plenty of grooming, time outside, and time around their people. I have also cared for Pugs, Golden Retrievers, and a variety of mixed breed dogs. Please let me know of any special needs or requests for your pet!
A typical day
I love to curate my pet-watching activities based on the specific interests and needs of each pet. For dogs, we can work on commands, walk around the neighborhood, go to the park, and stop to get a pup cup. For cats, I like to come up with games for each pet and play with their favorite toys. I also love to snuggle any pets if they would like!
