Dog Trainer and lover of wet noses
Pet care experience
I have had large dogs all my life and currently own a ver spoiled foster fail. I train dogs as my primary job and have no breed or age restrictions. I love training but really enjoy the puppy cuddles without the pressure of formal structure. I boarded my own dogs at facilities and I know that I feel more comfortable when they’re in somebody’s home getting more individual attention. I have a large fenced yard and all the necessary supplies to make your pup feel at home. I am willing to pick up and drop off. I also offer appointment transportation if you just need someone to get your fur baby to the vet, groomer or grandmas house!
Reviews
Katia came to our rescue. A hurricane was on the way and we desperately needed someone to take our two French bulldogs, Coco and Josephine. Not only did she take them at the last minute, she loved and cared for them. I would not hesitate to ask her to take them again. Hopefully, it won’t be an emergency. She’s the best!
About Katia P.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large PVC fenced backyard, multiple dog beds and plenty of rooms if your dog needs privacy or needs to be separated from other dogs in the house. I also have crates of all sizes if needed. As a trainer safety is my first priority. Feeding is based on your schedule, I take them for a regular walks and regular potty breaks, and I make sure everybody gets tons of love and cuddles.
Information Katia P. would like to know about your pet
Just like children, I like to know basic schedules, habits, likes and dislikes and parent preferences. Are there set times for treats, do you put them to bed at a certain time. Are they allowed on the furniture? Will they eat the curtains if you leave them alone? Will they eat the CAT if you leave them alone? The basics.
A typical day
I take my pups around the neighborhood, one or two miles depending on our energy level and the heat. I like to get up early and take them to the local park and let them run off leash if no one is there, or the dog park if its not too crowded. My kids are well behaved and get along well with each other, but like people sometimes they encounter someone who rubs them wrong.

I set my schedule up on Sundays with my training clients. Generally things are fairly flexible. I drive from St Pete to Orlando depending on client needs.
