Highlights
Pet care experience
Gentle dog-lover here to help!
I have special interest and experience working with reactive and/or senior dogs who may require a high level of care and sensitivity. I had the pleasure of working with many dogs here on Rover while I was in school. In recent years I’ve been off this platform caring for my childhood dog and soulmate Peanut, who was managing lung cancer in the last stages of his life. Peanut was also reactive, which taught me to be a better leader and to be aware of the environment in order to minimize risk. I have a wide range of experience with different breeds, sizes, ages and behaviors. I grew up with dogs and have worked as a caretaker on a handful of farms. My work experience and temperament allows me to be patient, detail-oriented, and resourceful.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I stick to the routine that helps each pet feel comfortable and safe. This typically looks like 1-2 walks a day if applicable, food morning and night, fresh water twice a day and playtime for at least 20 minutes, following any special instructions the owner may have for maintaining the well-being of their fur baby. As any pet owner comes to find out, the care given to pets is generally reciprocated tenfold through their affection, presence and admirable idiosyncrasies. Since I don’t have pets of my own at this time, the opportunity to care for another’s beloved fur baby is one that I greatly appreciate & approach with necessary responsibility.
Ratings and reviews
Would 100% recommend Katia for any dog parent. Katia was very calm, patient and intuitive with our reactive rescue dog. She took the time to get to know him and was very attentive and detail oriented in her communication and care.
Awesome sitter, communicative, pet loving, considerate, and kept our home really clean, went above and beyond.
We were impressed with Katia's professionalism and care for our dog. She communicated well and took great care of our house and pup!
Katia was great! Punctual and communicative and lovely with our dog.
Katia is so reliant, leaves the house clean and dogs tired. Thanks for loving our pups while we were gone!
Katia was wonderful with our dog Sophie! They went on a little adventure and Sophie was tired out when I got home, which was great!
