Tail Wagging Service Guaranteed!

Hello! My name is Tavia. I work from home in Customer Operations for a healthcare Tech company based in New York. I am fully remote which allows me the flexibility to work anywhere within the U.S. I also have my creative outlet, after the 9-5 as part-time content creator for skincare and beauty brands on social media. I lead a very active lifestyle, early morning walks, Peloton workout, Run club and the occasional social event. I started my pet care services in 2019 with close friends, family and clientele. I love to work with pets of all ages, sizes, personality's and backgrounds. I have experience dog walking as well as pet/house sitting.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's safety, happiness and overall health are very important to me. I will always make sure I create a fun, loving, active and stress free environment for everyone when I have them in my care. I will show up with a toy during the stay to help with trust and anxiety (something unique I like to do to stand out from other sitters). I currently have allergies to cats so I am not able to accept/offer services to them! Feel free to reach out to me anytime. I pride myself on being quick and efficient with the response time and can accommodate all forms of communication. I am looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby!

The absolute best and highly recommend Katavia. We have had a few sitters for my 2 cat and 1 large pup and she exceeded expectations on all levels. First of all, the animals were happy and healthy when I got home, plus my high maintenance pooch was extremely well brushed and manicured. Communication was great. My dog was treated to lavish walks daily and I came home to a house in complete order. I appreciate how professional she takes this job and she left a lovely hand written letter that was really nice to come home to. If she’ll care for my ‘fur babies’ again, we’ll travel at ease knowing they’re in great hands 💖

Batavia took very good care of my fur and water babies. She was wonderful about photos and updates. Would definitely recommend her and if needed use her again.

Katavia was so amazing! She went above and beyond when caring for our dogs. She did a great job of keeping us updated on how they were doing and sending cute photos. We can’t recommend her enough! Thank you for being so amazing!

Katavia was absolutely wonderful!! This was the first time our dog stayed with someone who wasn’t family, so it was a big moment for both us and our pup. Initially, our dog was a bit unsure, but Katavia was so patient and caring, helping him feel at ease and encouraging him to open up. She kept us updated with adorable pictures and videos of him playing and having a great time. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Schedule

Home base for me is Phoenix, Arizona, but I am currently traveling for work so I can provide my services in the locations I end up at. I am an auntie to a 4 year old hyper and playful Golden Doodle that I spoil dearly. I love having this opportunity on Rover to spend time with other dogs, as well as do this for fun and give pet parents peace of mind while they're away! This is great for supplemental income on my free time, so I try to be flexible with cost and cancellation. **Currently cannot host your fur baby in my home for babysitting/overnights** FULL TRANSPARENCY: My schedule on Rover is always up to date with my availability and when you're ready to book, I would be happy to go over my schedule/availability for the days you have requested. Lets make this experience hassle free for ya!

Katavia can host up to 1 pet per night
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. Separation anxiety? What are some behavior quirks ie barking at the mailman, carrying food bowl around before dinner time etc I want to make sure I get the full details of your fur baby so we can all be comfortable.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
