Certified dog trainer and behavioural specialist.

Pet care experience

I am a certified behavioural dog specialist. I love dogs, I can speak their (body) language, so I always know what the dog feels and wants. I love to play with dogs, I know a lot of games which make every dog happier and confident. Also, I work as behavioural coach at the Ohmydog school in the Haag. I am able to help with any kind of situation, give you tips and recommendations if needed. One of my specialisations is helping and supporting owners with puppies. I use ONLY evidence-based approach (never punishment, never physical abuse).

Katerina is trustworthy, responsible and very nice. We were stressed leaving our cat alone, but Katerina rose to the challenge. We received information and photos, which helped us a lot during the separation and calmed us down. We recommend her!

We always feel guilty/nervous if we have to leave our Donna. She’s an adopted dog so she has a fear of abandonment. Katja, is amazing. She really listens to our concerns and asks all the right questions to make sure Donna is well taken care of while we are away. She definitely made sure Donna was well entertained and comforted, and gave us lots of updates. It was nice knowing Donna was having a good time, so we could also enjoy ourselves without worry. Katja was also very respectful of our home. Thank you again, Katja!

I am delighted to share my experiences with Katerina as a pet caregiver, as I couldn't have asked for a more responsible and loving person to entrust with my beloved 3 year old Shiba Inu dog Levi. Katerina has looked after my furry friend not once, but twice, and on both occasions, it was an exceptional experience for my dog. Katerina's dedication to the well-being and happiness of Levi was evident from the very beginning. She took the time to get to know my dog's unique personality, quirks, and preferences, ensuring that the care provided was tailored to his specific needs. What truly sets Katerina apart as a pet sitter is her commitment to the safety and happiness of Levi in her care. During each of my dog's stays with her, I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing that he was in excellent hands. Katerina as a certified dog trainer took the time to engage in play and exercise, ensuring that my Shiba Inu remained physically and mentally stimulated throughout his stay. Katerina maintained a clean and safe environment for my dog and ensured that he received his meals, medications, and any special requirements precisely as instructed. I never had to worry about a single thing while my Shiba Inu was in her care. In conclusion, I recommend Katerina as a pet caregiver. She is not only reliable and responsible but also genuinely loves and cares for the animals under her watch. My Shiba Inu had two fantastic stays with her, and I wouldn't hesitate to entrust Katerina with his care again in the future. Thank you, Katerina, for being an exceptional pet sitter and for making Levi's time away from home a positive and happy experience!

I've been Katerina's client for the last couple of years with my mixed-breed dog Bubble. She has done an incredible job turning my coward and shy buddy into a peaceful and self-confident dog. At the beginning of training Bubble was afraid of other dogs; he was prone to frequent mood swings; extremely sensitive and often stressed. Probably this was a result of my bad parenting or personal weakness, I don't know. What I do know is that now, together with guidance from Katerina, we are moving in the right direction. Katerina suggests the variety of dog training techniques and educational games, personal approach to a dog and a host, great love and respect to an animal.

Safety, trust & environment

Dog's mental hygiene and well-being is my first priority. Qualitative walks and activities and a good rest after that. Also, I believe that I should follow dog's usual routine, scheduled feeding and walks, so that the dog will be less stressed without its owner.
