Flexible sitter - will come to you!
Pet care experience
I am a teacher looking to fill my time with doggy snuggles! I have cared for a mini-dachshund with IVD with paralyzed hind legs for six years (we even built him a doggy wheelchair!), an energetic boxer doggo (who very much still thinks he’s a puppy - but all dogs are forever puppies 😊) for five, and a severely abused boxer puppy for two. I also have experience with dogs who have medical conditions such as seizures or incontinence. I have also cared for dogs who have had recent surgery, giving medication and going through post-surgery excercises. Now that summer has started I’m incredibly flexible! I love going on long walks, playing with toys, trying new doggy parks, or just snuggling on the couch. I firmly believe dogs are family and so look forward to taking care of yours.
Reviews
We had to leave our dogs for a week while we were in Colorado for our Sons wedding. Katerina is the best!!!! We have had her watch our dogs twice now and they are always well taken care of. My daughters dog had to go in for unexpected hip surgery right before we were leaving and Katerina didn't even hesitate to come and stay. She put in the extra time to do excerses with Penney and make sure she was well taken care of. Our Pepper has a history of seizers and Katerina is able to deal with her too. Both our dogs LOVE Katerina! Do not hesitate to call her for your sitting needs she's wonderful. Thank you Katerina for being such a warm person and taking such good care of Pepper and Penney!
Katerina is not only responsible and loving, but she is caring too! She loves dogs and treats them like they're one of the family. She even got my puppy to get into the tub on the first try to bathe him. She respects all directions and rules, has no problem cleaning up accidents in the house, and always has fun! I'd recommend her to anyone who needs their dogs taken well care of!

Information Katerina K. would like to know about your pet
Knowing whether a or not a dog can be off leash, how they interact with other dogs and humans is very important. Walks should be fun exercise and knowing how your dog responds to their surroundings lets me make sure it stays that way. I would also like to know what kind of activities the dog prefers (if they actually enjoy walks, if they need to be walked for the bathroom, if their play style is aggressive) and what their social habits are like. I love pooches of all kinds!
A typical day
I would take the dog on long walks around the neighborhood - lots of greenery to explore. Depending on how well trained the dog is I would take them to an enclosed area so we could run around and play fetch. If the pup plays well with others, we would spend some time at the local doggy park, too.
