Personalized care for your dog or cat - Cary

“I’ve hired Katrina several times, and have been pleased every time. My dog is obsessed with me and hates to be without me. He tries to hide when he knows he is going to the sitter, but once he is there it’s clear that he has a level of comfort as he eventually starts a routine that even involves things he does at home (asking for ice cubes for example) Each stay I always get a few pictures or check ins, and she is extremely quick to respond if I need to message about something. My pup has done day care there, short stays, and week long stays. Always comes back nice and tired from the fun he has. He still doesn’t want to leave me, but that’s okay! I’m very thankful for Katrina and her family. Always available and always helpful!! Wonderful sitter!!”

About: — About Me Since 2018 I have done in-home pet sitting professionally and I have loved animals of every kind for as long as I can remember. And I treat your pets the same way I would my six: with quality time, affection, and plenty of patience. The difference with a sitter like me is that I’m up for the challenge. I’m not just here for the “easy” ones — I believe every pet deserves a chance. (Ask how many times I’ve been bit or scratched! 🤣) I’ve researched training and positive reinforcement techniques, and I use that to provide the most gentle care to my pets and yours. Just like a child, their safety will always be first priority. — Your Time Away The sudden change in routine, environment, and distance can cause anxiety, stress, and temporary behavioral changes and this can even affect behavior once you return. After being gone for so long, sometimes even with a pet sitter, anxious or high-energy pets can become unusually restless, clingy, bark or meow excessively, act out, or even withdraw. This is usually temporary, but a real possibility. Because of this, daily drop-ins are something to consider if you haven’t already. Whether you’re gone for the day or just away at work, the companionship and structure is a game changer for misbehavior. — What I Offer They thrive on consistency, connection, and gentle correction so my goal is to maintain the routine and training/boundaries you’ve set in place while providing affection and entertainment. I’ll even stay with them when they’re ill, and I have experience with special needs and administering medications/injections. At work for 12 hours? Book a walk for that rowdy pup. Gone for a bit? That calls for a drop-in visit. Out of town for the day? Doggy daycare has your back. Vacationing for the week? House sitting will handle that. And who doesn’t love to come back to a tidy home? Ask me about a one-time clean so that you return feeling refreshed, relaxed, and ready to resume life. — Next Steps Just reach out! Don’t be shy with any questions or concerns. After, we’ll schedule a complimentary (within 25 miles) in-person meet-and-greet to touch base on needs, routine, training, and house rules. This is the perfect time to request a quote for cleaning and daily photos/updates. Thank you for reading and for considering me when you aren’t home. Meet ya later! 🐾😊

About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds since I was a kid, growing up around farms , taking large dogs on walks for exercise, house siting, and volunteering at animal shelters.

“Amanda accommodated our last-minute request so we could take a tour at Cumberland Gap NHP. Her home, dog toy basket, and large yard were perfect for our standard poodle. I would highly recommend her.”

About: I love all animals. As you can see in my pictures I have been around many different animals. I have been around dogs, cats, Guinea pigs and hamsters, sharks, goats, birds, and horses. I believe that pets are part of the family and I believe all animals deserve to be well taken care of. While my apartment does not allow pets I am more than happy to pet sit at your place or just stop by for some attention, feeding, or walks. Pets are part of one’s family and I believe that should be treated as such. I am there to feed your pet and take it on walks as well as play with it and give it whatever kind of attention is needed.
