“Ksenia took great care of our two cats while we were away! Gus & Arthur got a lot of love and attention during their drop-in visits. Ksenia provides wonderful updates with lots of pictures and videos! We'll definitely book with Ksenia again in the future.”

About: Hi, I’m Hanna! I’m very excited to meet more pets in my neighbourhood. I have been a professional dog walker for over 2 years with 15 repeat customers and over 150 5 star reviews. I’m very excited to now be offering my services on Rover! I’ve lived with and have experience pet-sitting and caring for dogs and cats (and rodents and fish, even chickens!) of all breeds, sizes and ages. My pet kitty Henry recently passed away at the age of 20, and he dealt with health concerns his last few years so I am familiar and comfortable with all types of medication administration, including injections and subcutaneous (SQ) fluids if needed. I appreciate your interest in booking with me and am very excited to meet both you and your pets! I currently work from home Monday-Friday 9-5 so am available for walks and drop-ins early morning, in the evening, over lunch and on weekends. I am based out of Yellowknife so while I am currently working remote and travelling across Canada, I am still in town regularly. Please check my calendar for the most up-to-date availability! Meet and Greets are the best way for me to learn about your pet’s (and plant’s) specific routine and care needs to ensure they are living their happiest and healthiest lives. This is also a great opportunity to go over any house rules. Meet and greets are a great way for us to meet before setting up regular walks.
About: I have over 10 years of experience with my two chocolate labs at home which we've had since puppies. I also have experience walking and caring for rescure dogs through volunteer work at the NWT SPCA. Through that work I also had the opportunity to take care of 1-2 month old puppies that were in between foster homes. I love dogs, I have lots of experience, reading energies and handing reactive dogs, as well as I am an athlete and missing my dogs at home! I love the outdoors and would love the opportunity to get outside and get some animal love time! I am a student attending the University of Alberta- Augustana Campus, I am available all mornings, some lunch times between 10:30-2:30, and most evenings minding a once-a-week evening class. I go away to visit family on some weekends, but am mostly looking for work during the week. At home, I have a fenced in yard and use strong leads that are regularly inspected for quality. Here I will insure for my safety and the animals that all of their equipment including collar and lead are in safe condition. I also will insure the animals' safe access to hydrate before, during, and after exercise. I am also very keen on picking up my things and keeping everything out of the reach of the animals so there is nothing they can get a hold of that may cause harm.

I’m so happy we found Ksenia! She has been so wonderful with our 2 cats. Her daily updates on how the visits went, along with photos and videos is so nice to get while we’re away. She’s also been flexible with schedule adjustments and check-in times. We’ll definitely be using her in the future!
