Your dog will be happy at my place
Pet care experience
I have always had a passion and an intuition for dogs and I have helped my friends with their dog 'problems' all my life. A few years ago I took on the study of dog psychology at a college in Switzerland and now I am a certified dog behaviorist. I have a great ease around dogs of all sizes and character. I would love to take care of your dog in my house and my fenced in backyard. Should you want it, I can train your dog for you. I can take them to the dog park. Or they can just hang and play in my big fenced in backyard and get walked twice a day. I will make sure they're happy while also learning boundaries
Reviews
Katharina took great care of our two labs. Will definitely use her again.
Katharina is amazing and has really connected with my dog. He enjoys his time at her home and never seems stressed when he returns home. I’m so happy to find trusted sitter for my fur baby. Thank you so much. Erika
Best sitter ever!! Highly recommend. Loves my dogs as if they’re her own. Probably the only place my dog doesn’t cry when I leave her. In fact they sprint out the cardoor and don’t look back !
Amazing sitter, very friendly, loves animals! Lots of room for your pets!

Information Katharina V. would like to know about your pet
I welcome all dogs of all sizes and character and as a certified dog behaviorist, I make sure they all get along and nobody gets bullied. We have a peaceful playful, respectful and loving atmosphere here. Male dogs with a habit of peeing/marking inside the house will not be accepted! Any dog that pees or poops in my house will get charged 20$ per incident. I pay close attention to all dogs in my care, I can read their body language and can sense when they are not comfortable or when I need to interfere in the 'pack' long before anything ever happens.
A typical day
I take my time and make sure that the dog is as comfortable as possible. It is often not easy for a dog to see the owner leave. Some need to be left alone and want a safe space to retreat, some can be cheered up with a good chewy treat, some need to play ball, others want to go for a walk or just need a cuddle. Every dog is different and I try to give every dog what they need. Relying on my intuition and my life long experience and on my studies as a dog behaviorist. I also pay very close attention to the interaction between the dogs. In my house no dog gets bullied. The atmosphere here is safe and fun
