Cat Sitting in Ramona Bowl

“This was my first time using Rover and I'm so glad I found Katrina! She took great care of my elderly kitty who requires medication and sent me pictures and updates after each visit to let me know how he was doing. It was very comforting knowing that he was well taken care of while we were away! I will definitely use Katrina again.”

About: Hello! I was born in Europe, Belarus, so have been surrounded by cats my entire life, caring for them since I was a child. My love and respect for cats runs deep; I admire their sense of independence, intelligence, and unique, rich personalities. I grew up in a multi-cat household, first with tabby rescues, and later with a Siberian and a Bombay. I currently care for both of them; Ophelia (my picky, high-class Siberian) and Ebbi (my playful, excitable Bombay rescue). They’ve taught me how to adjust to different feline temperaments, needs, and boundaries with patience and understanding. I never force interaction, I always let the cat lead. If a cat prefers space, I care for them quietly from a respectful distance. If they’re social, I kneel to their level, offer my hand, and wait for permission to connect. I truly believe every cat deserves to feel safe, understood, and respected in their own home. My strengths include caring for shy or particular cats, reading body language, and building trust slowly and gently. I’m not here just to scoop litter and go, I’m here to provide calm, loving care tailored to each cat’s comfort zone. (I live in Hemet but I also have flexible access to Oceanside on a daily basis, so I can easily reach beyond Hemet’s location to get to your kitty!) My skills include: - Lifelong feline care (15+ years) - Senior cat experience - At least month-old kitten experience - Rescue cat socialization - Respectful, cat-led interaction experience Services I do not provide: - Dog-sitting - Administering injections or complex medications I am currently unemployed, so the only way I will be able to get busy is if my schedule is filled with the duty of taking care of your little kitties! I am available for the entire week, weekends included, I can easily drop-in the day after a booking request if it is local. I live flexibly with my mother in Oceanside as well, so I can easily come and pet-sit your kitty from a farther location as necessary, as long as I hear from you at least 2 days in advance! I do not have a busy schedule, rarely plan for any trips, leave my home, or get busy. I have graduated, and I do not work or volunteer anywhere else, so I would be more than ready to come and visit your cat or cats at any time! First and foremost when it comes to cat care in another client's home, I need to be able to know their preferences and routines! Cats are very picky about their routine, and if it is broken they may get stressed out. I respect details when it comes to taking care of your kitty: whether they prefer kibble or wet food, if they take small snacks, if they need to be played with, or if they get fussy when their litterbox is not filled the right way. Please let me know if your cat is shy or outgoing, allowed outside or strictly indoors, or if there are off-limits areas in the home (I know some clever kitties will try to trick me into opening a “forbidden” door!). The more I know about your cat’s habits and personality, the better I can provide calm, respectful care tailored just for them.

“Megan was awesome! She was very communicative with us the entire time. Our cat is really shy when first meeting strangers, and tends to hide, I think he hid a little more because of her baby (he’s never heard/seen one before) but she went above and beyond helping to get him to feel comfortable and going to his hiding spot to give him treats and play with him. She did all of the little things I asked for like turning on the tv for him, turning on some lights at night, opening/closing the blinds etc. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated the whole time! We were very nervous about leaving our cat alone for several days but she made us feel a lot better :) She’s a great sitter! Highly recommend!”

About: My house has been full of animals for all 19 years of living, including dogs, cats, ferrets, lizards, rats, snakes, spiders, fish, etc! I have had experience with all kinds of dog breeds and temperaments, and was given praise by a local dog shelter for calming down and disciplining dogs in distress. I am running on a very flexible schedule and want to work with you! I just graduated and am looking to sustain myself while following my passions for art. I am constantly aware of the whereabouts of the animals I am caring for to be able to keep them safe and free of trouble. I use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior and safe collar grab techniques to calm down a dog in distress.

“Another great trip not having to worry about our pups! Melinda has been amazing as always in taking care of our animals.”

Kelly T.

“Nicolette is our favorite pet sitter and our only choice when booking. She is detailed oriented and goes above and beyond to get to know our fur babies. Whenever we take a trip I can always count on Nicolette to make sure our animals are being well taken care of.”

About: I’ve watched or checked up on friends animals when they were away. I love animals. I have a dog myself and I know first hand how important fur friends are Considering I have an animal myself, I know how important it is to care for an animal. I consider my dog to be family, so I make sure to give my dog the best life. Depending on the living situation of who I’m taking care of, I’ll make sure doors and gates are locked. The animal has plenty of food and water.

“Cyrissa, did a great job taking care of our three cats. My main concern was our new kitten and she made sure she was given the attention needed. We will definitely use her again. She was prompt and communicated with us in a timely manner.”

About: I've raised my golden retriever, Cooper, since he was a puppy — he's now 8 years old and 90 lbs! Thanks to him, I’m very comfortable with large dogs and know how to handle leash pulling, high energy, and basic training. I’ve also helped friends with their litters of puppies and have experience giving medication like pills and ear treatments. I’ve cared for nervous or shy dogs, including one neighbor’s pup who was sad their owner left, but was playing with the other dogs by the second day. I always take my time to build trust and treat every dog like my own. What sets me apart is that I’m playful and active — I can even run with your dog if they enjoy that! I’m also very detail-oriented: I always take notes to make sure I follow feeding schedules, routines, or medication instructions exactly. My schedule is flexible, so I can be reliable and consistent, especially for recurring walks or visits. I genuinely love meeting new dogs, and I know how important it is for pet owners to feel confident their dog is in good hands. I’ll treat your dog like family and can send photo or video updates upon request. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I currently work part-time three days a week (Monday–Wednesday, 7:00 AM to 2:30 PM), and I’m free the rest of the week with a very open and flexible schedule. This gives me plenty of time for dog walking and drop-in visits in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings — even on short notice. Since I live locally and stay active, I’m available for recurring walks or one-time visits depending on your dog’s needs. I’m reliable, on-time, and happy to adjust my schedule to fit yours whenever possible. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I usually take notes in order to follow all instructions carefully — whether it's feeding, medication, locking up, or keeping to a specific walking route. I'll double-check doors, gates, and leashes to make sure your pet is safe and secure. I've learned from Cooper who will run outside, so I always open doors slowly so they don't escape. Every dog is different, so I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether they’re shy, energetic, or need extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe and relaxed while you're away.

“Always amazing! & very good at communicating”

About: **Before booking.... I work full time Mon - Thurs during the day and half day on Fri, and I am not home during that time. I am available any time after I get off of work. If your baby(ies) are ok being in a crate all day, while I am at work, I don't have a problem keeping them during the day as well. Saturday and Sunday I am available all day.** For some reason this site doesn't show this information. I have grown up around and have been around dogs my whole life. I have experience with all sizes of dogs and ages. Some breeds I have experience with are Pit Bulls, Boxers, Mini Pins, Chihuahua, Blue Healer, Dingo, and the list goes on! The last office job I had also included dog sitting for the owner and his wife's dogs. They kept me good company and visa versa. Dogs put me in a happy place and are a good stress relief as well for me. Some of my friends call me the dog whisperer. I seem to give the dogs with anxiety a sense of ease when I am around them. I love to pet them and rub around their favorite spots that relax them. I.E, ears, belly, and neck. Sometimes I tend to find myself talking to them like they are a little baby lol I did have a fur baby living with me, but unfortunately I had to put him down at the end of Dec, 2021. I work full time Mon - Thurs during the day and half day on Fri and I am not at home during that time. I am available any time after I get off of work. If your baby(ies) are ok being in a crate all day, while I am at work, I don't have a problem keeping them during the day as well. Saturday and Sunday I am available all day. I have a brick wall around the back area of my home, so it is hard for your fur baby to escape. I also have a doggie door for small dogs. I treat your babies just like I would treat mine, with lots of love and attention.

“Thank you your wonderful”
