I’m currently working 3 days a week in the office but I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. My weekends are pretty much free as I only have my own dog to look after 🙂

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced garden but if your dog is an escape artist, I have long leads too if tethering is needed. I live a few minutes from Meanwood Park which is amazing for a good run, but is also packed with other dogs - therefore, a good understanding of what your dog is like is essential. I would need to know the following: • Is your dog reactive/nervous? How does it react to other dogs and people? • Do you let your dog play with other dogs? Anything to be cautious of? • Can your dog be off lead? Is the recall good? Do you use anything to help with the recall? • Does your dog have a high prey drive? Can it be around squirrels/birds, or is there a chance they might run away? • Do you have a routine for your dog? For example, how/when they’re being fed, do they need to be crated, do they need certain exercises/tools? • Does your dog have any medical issues or is currently on any medication? *just to be aware of, I do not drive*

Pet care experience
I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and now have one of my own, so being around them is second nature to me. I used to look after my friend’s/neighbours’ dogs/cats and now that I have some free time, I’d like to try to offer my help to others :) Some time ago, I also looked after some reptiles too, as the owner was away for a while - you can see 2 of the iguanas on one of the pictures included! Other than dogs, I’ve also had other family pets, such as rabbits, hamsters, degus, a chinchilla, a turtle and a cat. Not sure if I can say I have X years of experience, as I’ve never done it professionally, or full time, but I started when I was 15, so 10 years ago :) I’ve spent a lot of time training my dog (she’s very high-energy!) and have helped her make great progress with things like reactivity and being nervous around people. I also did a dog training boot camp, which gave me a better understanding of dog behaviour, body language, and how to train in an effective way. Most of my free time is spent walking, playing with, or training my dog, so I’m very used to keeping dogs happy, active, and mentally engaged. I’m really easygoing and will always make sure to stick closely to your dog’s usual routine and your instructions (no matter what they are), so they feel as comfortable as possible. I’ll always check in with you about what your dog needs and what you expect from me. I can also offer pet sitting from my home on some days, as long as an initial meet-up with my dog goes well 😊 (I am based in Meanwood)
Reviews
My experience with Katarzyna was exactly what we needed. She looked after my cat while I was away, and the whole experience was seamless! From the start, she was professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about animals. She took the time to understand my cat's routine and his personality, and was more than happy to provide me with regular messages and pictures so I always knew my cat was safe, comfortable and well cared for. When I returned, my cat was relaxed, happy and quite content with his new friend ☺️ It is clear she treated my pet as though he was her own. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again, and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter
Kasia is very experienced with dogs, having had reactive dogs herself. She is excellent at reading the body language of different dogs, and is very responsible.
