Pet care isn’t just part of my routine; it’s something I genuinely enjoy every day. I structure my time to ensure that pets receive plenty of attention and care. We start the day with long walks in the morning and evening, and I dedicate time during the day for play and pampering. It's important to me that every pet feels loved and happy in my care.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I ensure that their needs are met with regular walks, feeding, and playtime, just as if you were there. I also keep the home tidy and provide updates with photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well-cared for in their familiar environment.

Information Ekaterina D. would like to know about your pet

It's important for me to know as much as possible about your pet before I start caring for them. Understanding their routine, dietary needs, medical conditions, and any behavioral traits helps me provide the best care. I also like to know their favorite toys, activities, and any specific likes or dislikes. This information ensures that your pet feels comfortable and enjoys their time with me, whether it’s during walks, playtime, or simply relaxing at home.

A typical day

A typical day starts with a morning walk to get some fresh air and exercise. After breakfast, I spend time playing with the pets, whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, or interactive toys that keep them engaged and mentally stimulated. Depending on the pet’s energy level, we might go for a mid-day stroll or have some cuddle time. In the afternoon, I might introduce some new toys or games to keep things exciting, or we could explore the neighborhood on another walk. For pets who enjoy it, I also incorporate some basic training or puzzle games to challenge their minds. As the day winds down, we relax with some quiet time, and I make sure they have a comfortable space to rest. Throughout the day, I’m always attentive to their needs, making sure they’re happy, well-exercised, and content.

Pet care experience

I have worked for many years as a dog walker and pet sitter, and while I now work remotely as a Software QA Engineer, I still love spending time with pets. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly enjoy. I make sure every pet in my care gets plenty of love, attention, and a routine that keeps them happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their usual schedule to minimize stress. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or simply giving them companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also keep the home tidy and provide regular updates with photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is well cared for.
