Pet care experience
Just moved back to the valley and looking to stay busy pet sitting between outdoor adventures. I have years of experience with all kinds of animals from dogs and cats to reptiles, farm animals, and birds. Please note that my service radius is for overnight visits only. I can only do drop-in visits on the Frying Pan or near Meredith. I used to train livestock dogs at a ranch so I’m happy to maintain whatever training you’re doing with your dog while they’re in my care. I can also accommodate things like donkeys, goats, chickens, etc. as well as basic garden maintenance. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
Reviews
This was our first experience with a dog walker and I couldn’t be happier. Katia was so nice and friendly and made me feel at such ease. We will definitely be reaching out again.
Katia was awesome looking after my kitty Sachi! Responsive, thorough, and sent cute pictures and messages with each visit. I'll definitely try to rebook next time I'm away!
Took great care of my pets while away, and made sure to send cute pictures. My dog is very temperamental and Katia did a great job with managing her.
Love seeing our doggies (and bird!) in your pics! Katia has watched our animals (dogs, birds, mouse) for years. She always, always goes the extra mile, literally. She walks the dogs every day and spends plenty of time just loving on them. I have never seen an animal not fall in love with Katia. When our dogs got older and needed medication I knew I could count on her to administer everything accurately. She also house sits and keeps and leaves the house immaculate! She is so responsible that she has house/pet sit for tons of my friends - dogs, cats, you name it! I cannot recommend Katia enough.
About Katia M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have years of experience with puppies, reactive dogs, elderly/medication reliant dogs, etc. I’ll keep your pet safe no matter what special care they might require. I also love taking cute pictures of your pets so you’ll know they’re having a great time!
Information Katia M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or quirks I should know about. I can accommodate almost anything as long as we have a conversation ahead of time. :)
A typical day
Whether your dog is a high energy working breed or a sleepy senior, I’ll be sure to keep them entertained. I love long hikes and trips to the dog park but I’m also happy to snuggle on the couch or brush up on obedience training.
Services
Katia can watch in your home
Availability
Lots of availability. I live up the Frying Pan so it’s easier for me to do overnights/weekends than drop-ins. I’m willing to work with people whether you need to book last minute or way in advance.
