Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring and Skilled Vet-Tech
Hi! I’m a former veterinary technician with 2 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and medical needs. I have extensive experience in post-operative care, medication administration, and supporting pets with chronic or critical conditions. I’m trained in pet first aid, Fear Free handling, and dog nutrition (Level 1), and I’ve cared for senior, blind, and deaf pets. I treat every animal with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I’d give my own. ❤️

Safety, trust & environment
I am Fear Free Certified, having completed specialized training in recognizing and alleviating fear, anxiety, and stress in pets. I apply low-stress handling techniques, read subtle body-language cues, and optimize environments—using tools like pheromones and calming music—to ensure every animal in my care feels safe, comfortable, and supported
Ratings and reviews
Amazing, would highly recommend her. She sent lots of checkin photos, pets were well taken care of, happy and content when we got home! She was also super patient with us, we were very late to respond to her questions and she handled it with kindness and understanding. **Note to anyone who is having Rover take care of pets while you are getting married, leave a backup contact for them! You will likely be way too busy to respond!
Katia cared for our dog despite a recent eye injury, and was able to assist with her medications and eye drops while we were away. Thank you for your flexibility!
Katia does such an amazing job. She is communicative and extremely respectful. I feel comfortable and confident having her care for my dog and staying in my home. I highly recommend her services.
Katia did a great job looking after my two sphynx cats when I took a last minute trip away. They were very well looked after and got lots of attention! I would definitely call on Katia again to look after my two special nakies!
Highly recommend Katia as a housesitter. She took great care of our dog Rufus and handled his medication needs very well. She provided us with ongoing updates and was very transparent with how things were going. She was calm and capable and we would be happy to work with Katia again.
Katia was punctual and sent lots of updates on how things were going throughout the duration of her stay. I enjoyed getting photographs from her, and she made sure to keep me in the loop with everything. Thank you!

Schedule
I’m currently in my third year of a biology degree, taking hybrid courses that are mostly online. I only attend classes on campus a few days a week for two hours so I spend most of my time at home and fully available for pet care. My flexible schedule allows me to give each pet plenty of attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day.
