Pet care experience

My grandfather was in the Air Force K9 unit and taught me to respect and love all animals as a child. Dogs of any size, energy, and age are all great to be around and I'm prepared for anything (jumping, love-biting, bruises...). I've been taught how to train dogs of any age, especially puppies. I have trained a young husky to sit, lay down, grab, quiet, and be potty-trained as a teenager. I later trained a Shiba-Inu puppy to do the same thing. My favorite pets to care for are cats, no matter how feral or how young/old the cat is. I take care of two cats currently; one being the one in my profile picture and another one being a brown tabby. The orange one has trauma with women and is very attached to me. The brown tabby has food anxieties and is currently diabetic, taking insulin shots. I love my boys very much and I can only imagine how much you care for your own pets. I vow to treat your pets the same as I would my own pets and go above and beyond to care for them!

Katarina did a great job taking care of my two cats. Her notes were nice and thorough each time she dropped in, and she followed all the instructions I provided. I will happily work with her again the next time I need a pet sitter!

Katarina was great with our two cats! She was very attentive and involved in their care. She also provides very detailed check in summaries. You'll feel at ease leaving your pets in her hands.

Safety, trust & environment

I'm very thorough and will alert you if anything goes wrong- especially for medical emergencies. I always try to get vet information before any visit, even for pets who have no previous record of health issues. If your vet isn't available I have a trusted vet who I take my own disabled cats to. Expect a lot of pictures of your pets as well! I love taking pictures throughout the visit so you know exactly what your pet is up to during the visit. I try not to bother them if they don't want to be bothered. I take very thorough notes during the visit and will ask questions when they come up onto the notes.

Information Katarina D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know your energy level and if your dog takes any medications. Favorite snacks and favorite toys are always fun to know! Any fun nicknames and quirks are also great to know as it comforts pets.

A typical day

I personally love nature and I love walking through park trails with lots of trees. I would love to take your dog to a local nature reserve and/or park and explore with them as they get all sorts of scents and mental stimulation in. Maybe a walk around a city area that is dog friendly or even a dog park so your dog can socialize and play with other dogs and people.
