Pet care experience

I grew up on a fruit and flower farm on the Big Island and took care of many dogs and cats over the years, along with sheep, cows, horses, ducks and chickens. I briefly considered becoming a veterinarian because I am such an animal lover. I'm comfortable with dogs of all shapes and sizes, and have experience with grooming, feeding (we used to make our own dog food), and providing oral and syringe medications. I have volunteered at no-kill shelters (Rainbow Friends in Kea'au) and am comfortable cleaning up no matter how big the mess. I am active and will go for as many walks (or runs) as you and your pup desire.

Katia watched my beloved, tenacious & teething puppy and he returned a much better version of himself. I could tell she spoiled him with love, while holding good boundaries. She took him on walks, mountain adventures and to the beach for healthy socializing and safe play time. She is a great communicator, very well organized, clean, and a natural animal lover with a lot of affection to offer. I would definitely trust Katia with him again and recommend her highly to other pet owners.

Safety, trust & environment

My current house is near Diamond Head/Kapiolani park and is completely fenced in with grassy and shaded areas. The Diamond Head dog park is about a 12 minute walk from my house. My roommate Sean is also an animal lover and will always give hugs and love when he is around. We do not have any pets of my own so we are always super excited for doggy-time! I am an active runner and love having a 4-legged companion to keep me company on my walks and runs!
