Pawsome Care for Your Furry Friend

I grew up around pets, whether my own or someone else's, so I am very familiar with their nonverbal cues, whether they are hungry, nervous, or need to go pee. I love all animals, and I promise to treat your pets like they were my own. I have dog-sat for several days, staying at the owner's house while they went on a trip. I have experience watching multiple dogs, or both dogs and cats. I can give pups medicine with their food or with peanut butter. I know how to brush cats and dogs. I can clip cat nails, but I have never clipped dog nails. However, I am willing to learn! I have lots of experience walking dogs, mainly from medium to large. Outdoor exercise is super important for dogs, so when I get the chance to exercise them on or off the leash, I make sure to do so. I try to spend as much time as possible with your pets. I have a full-time job during the week but a flexible schedule. I can make it happen if I need to stop for a pee break quickly.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have loved animals my whole life. I view animals with much more respect and appreciation than most people do. The bond between an owner and their pet is like no other. Our pets should be given the same endless love they always give us! I will reassure you that your pets are in good hands, and they will be my top priority while I am with them.

When Katia is with Malibu she is safe, happy and knowing that makes our time away more enjoyable.

Katia did everything perfectly. Not only did she care for our dog well. She took her on adventures and it is clear our dog has some greater expectations for her walks than she once did. Also before dinner she seems to believe that she should be the center of attention. Which has been wonderful. Choose Katia and your pet will be very happy and won’t miss you at all.

Katia is just so amazing!! So kind and my dogs fell in love with her and it was a great fit! I wasn’t worried at all on my vacation because I knew my babies were in good hands. Very communicative and sent pictures. Highly recommend her to anyone that has a pup that’s social awkward or doesn’t like people, my Corgi loved her and I am so grateful! So thankful to have found Katia on here, will definitely book again in the future!

Delighted to be able to leave my house, cat and dog and chickens in such capable hands – Katia was in communication with me, sending pictures and left the house immaculate – I would use her again in a heartbeat –

Katia was a wonderful dog sitter for our two pups! Very communicative and responsible and our two fairly shy dogs were very comfortable with her.

Phenomenal with our animals. Lots of pictures and communication was great. They even made sure that put dogs enjoy the nice day outside with walks. Would love for them to sit again for our pets.
