Katia will look after your pets and/or property like it is your own! She provided lots of communication throughout the duration of the trip, along with photos of all the fun adventures they were on. She left my place in better condition than it was in, and I wouldn't hesitate to have her again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have the privilege of owning two amiable dogs and maintaining a fenced yard for their safety and enjoyment. Our routine often involves visits to the local dog park for socialization, leisurely walks along nearby trails, or occasional outings to the beach. Ensuring a balance of exercise, social interaction, and outdoor exploration contributes significantly to the well-being and happiness of my canine companions. When caring for pets in a client's home, it's crucial to prioritize their well-being and adhere to specific instructions provided by the owner. This involves maintaining a consistent feeding schedule, ensuring access to fresh water, and attending to any medical needs or medications. Providing ample playtime and exercise helps keep pets happy and healthy. Additionally, maintaining a clean environment by regularly cleaning contributes to their overall comfort. Clear communication with the pet owner about their preferences and any special requirements ensures a positive and tailored care experience for their beloved animals.

Information Katia H. would like to know about your pet

Prior to caring for your pets, it's crucial to gather essential information about your furry companions. Details such as dietary preferences, medical conditions, medication schedules, and specific behavioral quirks are vital to ensure a smooth and attentive caregiving experience. Understanding any particular fears, favorite toys, or preferred activities can help create a comfortable and enriching environment for the pets in your home. Open communication with you beforehand allows for a more personalized approach, fostering a positive and secure atmosphere for the animals in my care.

There are many fun activities that I can do with pets I am watching, such as: 1. Going for walks or hikes in the park 2. Playing fetch or tug-of-war in the backyard 3. Teaching them new tricks or commands 4. Going for a swim in a pet-friendly pool or lake 5. Visiting a dog-friendly beach or park 6. Having a pet playdate with other furry friends 7. Snuggling up for a movie night or nap 8. Playing with interactive toys or puzzles 9. Taking them to a pet-friendly store to explore and socialize.
