Quality work & responsible attitude

Pet care experience

𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗧: I can provide the services only to those who live at The Village at Irvine Spectrum, Centerpointe, Park Apartments and Westview. I am not accepting new clients from Promenade and Los Olivos at the moment. ➡ Although I mark weekends as unavailable, please don't hesitate to contact me if it's just a one-time commitment. Most likely, I will help you out! 🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱 Before I could provide pet care services on Rover I volunteered in the cageless, no-kill cat shelter, The Gifford Cat Shelter, for about 6 months. I cleaned litter boxes, floor and bowls, changed beddings as well as fed the cats (including young kittens) and played with them. I also was a foster mom for a stray kitten who needed to be given some medications orally and syringe fed daily. As a cat sitter on Rover I've had experience caring for cats of different personalities and ages. Even the shyest cats who hid from other pet sitters could start playing with me. I also watched aggressive cats and I know how to make them feel comfortable around me. 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶 I am an experienced dog walker who provides one-time services as well as long-term services (e.g. my client asked me to walk her dog for 10 months). For safety reasons, I can create a Rover Card for your dog so you can see where I was with your dog exactly and how many miles we walked. I can send you pictures or videos during the walk in real time too if required. I have never shouted at any dog and I always remain both patient and focused when I stay with a pet. I care about pet's emotional state and try to find the approach to each pet individually. My typical dog walk includes running / jogging around the neighborhood, playing with the dog's favorite outdoor toys in the park and simply walking around. If required, I can practice the commands the dog already knows. _____ Thank you for trusting me your pet! Fun fact: most pet owners love the pictures I take of their pets and say they are the best!

I lead an active and healthy lifestyle, so I am full of energy to actively walk and play with your pet. I can run with a dog for up to 1 hour with a few short breaks for the potty break and pictures (if you need a tired yet happy dog, just let me know). As a responsible pet owner myself, I am very attentive to the tasks you expect me to do. It will be a really fun and safe experience for your fur buddy!

Information Katya D. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences, but it’s important to know how friendly and healthy the dog or cat is. It's important to keep others' pets safe so please do not hide any conditions that your pet has.

A typical day

The owner’s preference is always my priority. I always ask the owner which level of activity I should provide the dog with because I understand that running may not be allowed or beneficial for some dogs. As for cat sitting, I will do my best to entertain a cat. I have a few playtime ideas that may make a shy or lazy cat play.

📝📝📝📝📝 Pet care is both my passion and part-time job. In case I will need to slightly move your time slot I will ask you about it well in advance. I don't usually work on weekends but I am open to help you out if it's a short-term commitment.
