Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable and loving dog walker
I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, looking after puppies, adults, and seniors. I understand their needs based on their energy, age, and personality, whether it’s a gentle walk for older dogs or a sprint with active pups. Friends and neighbors trust me to babysit their dogs while they work or travel, knowing I’ll keep them safe, happy, and loved. I love walking, practicing tricks with dogs in training, and spending quality time with furry friends. Your dog’s safety is my priority—I’m mindful of weather conditions, avoid risks, and always communicate about treats, routes, or special instructions. For me, caring for dogs isn’t just a task; it’s truly a joy.

Ratings and reviews
So happy with Katia’s service! We will be using her in the future!
The took very good care of Coco, I would definitely call them again when I need them. My dog didn't want to leave her house.
Katia was great with Luna! She is very sweet and responsive. She went above and beyond by bringing Luna outside to play. Luna was very happy! Would definitely book again :)
atia has been an absolute lifesaver when it comes to caring for Puki while I travel for work. Puki has some hip issues and needs extra patience, love, and attention, and Katia provides all of that and more. The longest Puki has stayed with Katia was two weeks, and I couldn’t have been more at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Katia treats Puki like one of her own, ensuring she’s comfortable, happy, and well-cared for. I’m so grateful to have someone as trustworthy and compassionate as Katia to look after Puki. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is not only safe but also genuinely loved while I’m away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!
Katia is simply wonderful with dogs. She could be a dog whisperer. I can tell how much she loves them and how much dogs like her. She has walked and babysat my dog for years now. My dog is like a daughter to me, so I am very careful when considering a sitter, and Katia has exceeded any expectations. She is also very trustworthy; she has stayed in my home when I had to travel.

Schedule
I work from home two days a week and am usually home on weekends. My job is flexible, allowing me to take breaks during the day, which I love using for refreshing walks—especially with a dog by my side. I can also babysit dogs while working from home, as my apartment allows pets. I don’t have roommates, and my husband loves dogs just as much (if not more) than I do, so your pup will get plenty of love and attention in a calm, pet-friendly environment. I currently don’t have dogs of my own, as my pups live with my mom, so I truly miss spending time with furry friends and would love to care for yours.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my apartment, your pet will have enough space to rest and play indoors. I live less than 400 feet from a dog park, and the neighborhood is perfect for dog walking, giving your pup the chance to explore and get fresh air. My husband also works from home, so together we’ll keep a close eye on your furry friend, ensuring they’re happy, safe, and loved. If I’m caring for your pet at your home, I’ll adapt to their routine and the space they’re familiar with. Depending on the length of the stay, I’ll make sure they’re walked, given attention, and engaged in light training or play. For longer periods, I’m happy to work remotely from your location to provide consistent companionship and care.
Pets
A typical day
With the pets I watch, I love making our time together fun and engaging! Whether it’s exploring the local dog park just steps from my apartment, enjoying a refreshing walk around the neighborhood, or playing games like fetch or tug-of-war indoors, your pup will have plenty of opportunities to stay active and entertained. For dogs in training, I enjoy practicing tricks or behaviors to help reinforce positive habits. After all the fun, we’ll wind down with cozy rest time and lots of cuddles, ensuring they feel happy and loved throughout their stay.
