Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dog will be happy at my place
I have always had a passion and an intuition for dogs and I have helped my friends with their dog 'problems' all my life. A few years ago I took on the study of dog psychology at a college in Switzerland and now I am a certified dog behaviorist. I have a great ease around dogs of all sizes and character. I would love to take care of your dog in my house and my fenced in backyard. Should you want it, I can train your dog for you. I can take them to the dog park. Or they can just hang and play in my big fenced in backyard and get walked twice a day. I will make sure they're happy while also learning boundaries

Ratings and reviews
This was my first time spending even a single night without Weezy since adoption. Katharina was amazing from Meet-n-Greet to Pick-Up. I can tell she loved my baby like I do...and that means the world to me!
Katharina was wonderful with our dog Crosby! We loved the daily pics and updates. She took great care of him and we didn't worry at all. We could focus on our vacation! We will definitely use her again.
So caring and attentive to my pup. His tail goes crazy when I mention Katarina’s name. She is the best
Katarina is absolutely incredible. Our pup loves her and it’s truly evident when we go to pick him up. We always feel 100% comfortable leaving the dog in her exceptional care. She’s one of a kind. Thank you Katarina for loving our big boy as much as we do
Katarina is amazing with my fur baby. She truly cares and keeps me updated with fantastic pictures. Highly recommend
My 2 shih tzus had never been to a dog sitter or socialized with other dogs. Katharina was so patient, kind and loving to our dogs and us! She is a dog whisperer. She is also very attentive and responsive! 💯 recommend Katharina!

A typical day
I take my time and make sure that the dog is as comfortable as possible. It is often not easy for a dog to see the owner leave. Some need to be left alone and want a safe space to retreat, some can be cheered up with a good chewy treat, some need to play ball, others want to go for a walk or just need a cuddle. Every dog is different and I try to give every dog what they need. Relying on my intuition and my life long experience and on my studies as a dog behaviorist. I also pay very close attention to the interaction between the dogs. In my house no dog gets bullied. The atmosphere here is safe and fun

- I welcome all dogs of all sizes and character and as a certified dog behaviorist, I make sure they all get along and nobody gets bullied. We have a peaceful playful, respectful and loving atmosphere here. Male dogs with a habit of peeing/marking inside the house will not be accepted! Any dog that pees or poops in my house will get charged 20$ per incident. I pay close attention to all dogs in my care, I can read their body language and can sense when they are not comfortable or when I need to interfere in the 'pack' long before anything ever happens.
