Pet care experience

Proud fur aunty and pupper lover

I work full time remotely at a non profit but am looking for opportunities to hang out with your fur baby! I understand and respect that each pet has their own special personality and needs. I've witnessed this when watching my sister's Dogs for extended periods of time. Two of my sisters dogs—Hazel and George—have such contrasting, but lovable personalities. George--part doberman and husky--was born with contrasting colored eyes, one of which he cannot see out of very well. Because of this Georgy is often skeptical of strangers, often barking and growling. But we have learned to help him remain calm and respect that he has different communication needs especially because he was a rescued dog. Over the years, he has been more friendly and less scared. The challenging experiences when raising George has taught me to be more attentive to dogs, and more aware of their needs and behaviors. By contrast, I also have experience caring for elder dogs. Our other furry family member, Hazel the sweetheart, is my dog. She is keenly tuned into others feelings and loves to sit outside and listen to the ukulele or guitar. I’ve cared for her when she’s had gastrointestinal issues, and hip soreness that effected her walking. In addition to my personal pets, I interact often with my friends animals, and get along/love dogs of all breeds and sizes!! I work remotely full time for a non profit. This allows me to spend my breaks with Pets. My colleagues are also pet-friendly and welcome guest appearances from pets during our zoom meeting! My schedule is flexible, but I usually take the pups out 4 times a day: Morning as soon as I'm up, Afternoon, Early evening, Right before bed. However, I understand that the needs of each pet may vary and flexible with scheduling. When housesitting, I will love your your pets as if they are family! I also also ask for written instructions so I can be sure I am sticking to the routine that your pet is used to. I also would love to know their quirks, preferences, favorite spots, play etc.

Mary (Katrina) took wonderful care of our two dogs! She made sure they were happy, got plenty of playtime, and stayed on schedule with their medications. We loved receiving her frequent updates and photos—they gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She also went above and beyond by leaving our house spotless and watering our plants during a hot spell. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and thoughtful dog sitter!

Mary (Katrina) was so great with our two dogs (this is the 2nd time she has taken care of them). Our girl was on a new medication and she made sure that she was given the correct doses. She was so kind and caring to both of them. We got many photos/videos & updates. We are so appreciative of the care she took with our dogs and the house. We highly recommend her!

Katrina is amazing with our pups! She has watched them twice now and communicates perfectly and follows all instructions, especially for our old boy. We will work with her again for sure!
