Pet care experience

LOVE dogs and the outdoors

I have volunteered at veterinary clinics, animal shelters, wildlife sanctuaries and have about 10 years of experience working as an animal care volunteer. I have worked caring for domestic animals such as dogs and horses as well as several wild animals. I have privately dog sat for about 3 years done and I have had two dogs, as well as other pets, since I was a kid. Most recently my husband and I adopted a senior english staffordshire terrier (a short pitty!) and although we spent a good 4 years with her she has recently crossed the rainbow bridge and we are ready to open our home to new pups! I have a Bachelors degree in psychology from The Ohio State University and a law degree (J.D.) from the University of Sydney (Australia) where I lived for the past 7 years. I am now in NYC and I looking to continue my career in environmental justice and conservation.

We feel so fortunate to find Katalyna and her family!! This was the first time she took care of our dog and we could not have had a better experience. Katalyna is an excellent communicator and provided a warm and caring home for Frankie. We highly recommend Katalyna!!

Katalyna and her family did a great job taking care of Louie. They welcomed him into their family, took him on little adventures around the neighborhood and sent us daily updates. Would definitely book with them again!
