Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety and comfort is extremely important to me. I'm very cautious and will make sure that anything hazardous to your pets (e.g., plants, plastic bags, cables, any food they are allergic to, etc.) are not accessible.
Information Katrina W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know in advance of any special needs your pet may have - i.e., any medications, triggers, behaviors, etc. that I should be aware of.
A typical day
Every pet is different, so I tailor each day to what makes them happiest! For cats, I love engaging them with interactive toys like feather wands or laser pointers, and I always make time for cuddling and brushing if they're into that. Some cats prefer to observe from a distance, so I respect their space while making sure they're comfortable and content. For dogs, walks are the highlight of the day! I let them explore at their own pace, whether that means stopping to sniff every tree or power-walking around the neighborhood. If they have the energy, I'm happy to play fetch or tug-of-war. Back at home, I give them plenty of pets and attention, and I make sure they're fed on schedule and have fresh water. No matter the pet, I always send updates and photos throughout the day so you can see your furry friend is happy and well cared for. My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible while adding a little extra love and fun to their day!

Reviews
It is second time Katrina is taking care of our cat Loki when we are away, it gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. And when we got home, we can tell Loki was taken good care of from his fur and his expression. 😸: Thank you!
Katrina checked in on my cats over the holidays after being recommend by a friend. I looked forward to her daily updates and it was clear that my cats thoroughly enjoyed the visits too. 10/10 would recommend!
From day one, Katrina was professional, dependable, and incredibly kind to my dog. She was always on time, made sure my dog was happy and engaged, and kept me feeling reassured throughout my time away. It’s rare to find someone you trust so completely with your pet—I’m so grateful I found her.
Amazing!!!!!
