Availability
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.

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

A typical day
I provide attentive pet care by offering enrichment through rotating toys, puzzle feeders, and scent-based activities to engage your pet’s mind, daily exercise with walks and tailored activity sessions to keep them fit and energized, interactive games like fetch, tug, and hide-and-seek to strengthen our bond and stave off boredom, and constant hydration with regularly refreshed water stations and frozen treats to ensure they stay cool and well-hydrated.

Caring and Skilled Vet-Tech
Pet care experience
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. ❤️

Reviews
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!
Katia was great to have come and care for Ellie.
