Pet care experience

Belly rubs, lots of love and Care

I’m a responsible and caring pet sitter who will go above and beyond to make sure your furry friend is comfortable and has a good time. I am also very flexible, I only ask for at least a 24 hour notice. I work from home so I I’ll be with your pup most of the time. Simba (my cocker spaniel) go on a walk about every 3/4 hours. I am happy to do a meet and greet before your stay and answer any questions you may have. I’ll send daily pictures and updates during your little ones stay.

Based on my experience, I would not recommend booking with this sitter. While initial communication was positive, the pickup process was unexpectedly difficult. Despite confirming my return schedule several days in advance after a long trip, I encountered significant resistance when arranging pickup. Upon arrival at the agreed time, there was a delay, and the situation escalated unnecessarily to the point where I had to involve building management and local authorities to retrieve my dog. I would encourage others to proceed with caution.

Kathia is great! She provided updates and photos, which gave us such peace of mind. Our dog was happy and well-cared for. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Kathia was very responsive and sent us many updates throughout the stay! Bella came back super happy from her stay with her.

Choosing a dog sitter for a pup with a protective streak can be a challenge, but I'm so glad I found Kathia. She was fantastic! My dog, who is usually very protective of me, felt completely at ease and comfortable with her. She's clearly a natural with animals and has a reassuring presence that put my mind at ease. Communication was a breeze throughout the entire process. She was always quick to respond and sent regular updates and photos, which I really appreciated. The logistics were smooth too—pick-up and drop-off were easy and convenient. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again. She’s a true professional who genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after.

Do not book with her. We confirmed our pickup time both 2 days and 24hrs before pickup. They day of drop off she never came out, answered calls or texts. We ended up having to do emergency boarding with our vets office and almost missed our flight

Schedule

I am able to take your pet on a walk every two to four hours, I usually start my day with a walk therefore your pet will go outside first thing in the morning. I usually do about five to six walks per day. Morning around 8am, feed 10am then walk at 11am, 2pm, feed 3pm, walk at 5pm, 8pm and the last walk around 10-11pm.

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs physically and mentally. Well play a bunch of games, check out all the new smells in my neighborhood and explore all nearby parks.

Please let me know if your pet has any unusual behavior or if he needs special care, I will be happy to accommodate. I have experienced with special needs pets, I had a blind dog which was scared of loud noises and suffered a lot of allergies and anxiety.
