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 and in recent years have been off this platform caring for my childhood dog Peanut, who was in his senior years managing lung cancer. 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.

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 and food morning & 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.

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!

Katia did a great job with Zeke. She made sure to understand his triggers and knew his usual routines. Zeke was super comfortable around her, and enjoyed the extra attention!

Katia did a great job taking care of our dogs and home. We received daily "Pupdates" which were much appreciated and Katia was responsive to additional communication whenever we reached out. We returned home to a super tidy, well-cared-for home and happy pups - thank you, Katia!! We would definitely recommend Katia when in need of a trustworthy dog sitter!

I will want to know any information about your dog and their preferences, triggers and in general - favorite activities that promote their vitality and wellbeing. No such thing as too much information in my world.
