Your Dog + Me = Endless Fun !
Pet care experience
Hi , Katia here! My love for dogs has no end! I've dog sat for over 8+ years now. Through Rover I've met a lot of great furry friends and had the ability to create a great relationships with their owners. I've had a lot of clients come back to me and trust me with taking more care of their pets. I've done it so much even my boyfriend and friends created profiles and started taking care of pets via Rover. I'm a morning jogger, park reader lover and a great companion. Love to cuddle and scratch belly's! I've done a lot of over night stays at different clients homes and always was very respectful of their place and did house chores here and there with out a problem. Why I love dog sitting I have always had a connection with dogs, ever since I was a kid. I grew up with a Golden Retriever who became my best friend. Love to be with other dogs to give love to! Meet my pets I don't have any pets at the moment. But very soon i'll have a cute little frenchie! My experience administering medication I would prefer not to if the dog resists, unless it is with other food.
Reviews
If you're looking for a sitter, no need to look further. Katia is the best! We were first time rover-users and were naturally very nervous about leaving our 10-year old Maltese, Louie, with a complete stranger. Katia, however, made us feel comfortable from day one. First, she was very responsive - she was one of the first to get back to me after my initial inquiry and was equally prompt with subsequent communications. Second, she was very accommodating. She not only housed and cared for our dog, but she also kept our friend's dog, Sammie, a 10-year old Shih Tzu. In addition, she met with us (both owners and dogs) a couple of times prior to the stay without any frustration or annoyance. It was apparent to Katia that we were nervous and uncertain and she went out of her way to make us feel comfortable. Finally, we found Katia to be very loving and caring. She took to the dogs right away and was very affectionate and caring. This was evidenced during our multiple pre-stay meet-ups and by the daily pics we received. She sent us multiple pictures each day and with each pic we felt more and more at ease. Leaving someone as precious as your dog in the care of someone else requires a great deal of trust. And when using a site like this, it is often hard to establish trust in such a short amount of time. But Katia made that process easier. She was a great sitter, and we undoubtedly will use her again.

Katia was so great with Cody! She really understood the unique needs of Chihuahuas and was able to get my nervous doggie to warm up to her very quickly. I can tell she really loves dogs and is so patient and loving toward them. I was a little worried about leaving my boy for 10 days, but she was great at sending pics and keeping me updated which allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation. I'd love to have her watch Cody again next time I have to leave him.
I have never used this website before nor I have ever left my dog with a person I did not know. I was a little bit nervous leaving Ziggy for a whole week. However, Katia was sending me updates and photos every day. I could tell Ziggy was feeling very loved and comfortable with Katia. She was treating Ziggy the same way I would treat him. If you want your pups feel just like home, I definitely recommend Katia! :)

Information Katia B. would like to know about your pet
I would prefer dogs that aren't really energetic, but need someone to hang out with, and go to the park from time to time. I'd like to know any commands or favorite toys and treats, and if they are good with other dogs, etc.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks Stuytown is wonderful, and has a lot of other great dogs. Great place for dogs! There is also the FDR river side path way where i jog and it has a beautiful view and i've seen dog run there as well. Your dog's sleeping arrangement The dog could either sleep with me or on a doggie bed he/she is used to. And of course anywhere in the living room. Time I'll spend with your dog I would want to be with the dog as much as possible, and since I live in the wonderful area Stuytown, green and park is just outside my door! I love to be active and get fresh air.
