Pet care experience
Hello, I'm Katia - Your Dedicated Pet Sitter with a Lifelong Love for Animals! Growing up, I was lucky enough to share my home with 3 dogs and a cat, which sparked my passion for pet care. From volunteering in pet shelters to working in adoption facilities, I've gained years of experience and knowledge about pets and their behavior. I understand how to handle emergencies and am always prepared to act swiftly, thanks to my extensive training. As a full-time student with a flexible schedule, I can cater to your pets' needs and make sure they receive the attention they deserve. I value your care plans and wishes and will communicate with you frequently about your pet's well-being. With my calming presence, your pets will feel right at home and loved. Trust me to care for your furry friends like they're my own - they'll be in good hands with me!

This was our first time using Rover and Katia was a great first experience. Very professional, friendly, and genuinely showed our animals love. We hope to utilize Katia’s care again soon!
Katia did such a great job with our Winnie and got her to go for walks when we we’re struggling before we left for our trip! She also took such great care of our home while we were gone! Would love to work with her again for pet sitting!
Katia took amazing care of my dog. She sent regular updates, kept my apartment extremely tidy and was so sweet . I definitely will try to use her again if our schedules align!!
This was Milo's first walk with an unknown person and I was a little nervous but he was happy since Katia came to pick him up. She was on time and the communication prior to the appointment was excellent. She asked me if there were parks in the area and she took a toy to play with Milo if they stopped by the park. Milo went for a walk with Katia for 1hr and came back just as happy and safe. I loved that I can see the record of what Milo did during his walk, such as the number of times he peed and pooped and that they can also share photos with us. Without a doubt I would book with Katia again.

I take great pride in being a respectful and considerate houseguest when I'm caring for someone's pets. I make sure to leave the home in the same (if not better) condition than when I arrived. I understand that traveling and finding someone to care for your pets can be a source of stress, so I always try to make the pet owner's day a little brighter by leaving their home organized and clean before my departure. It's my way of showing my appreciation for their trust in me to care for their furry family members.
Information katia r. would like to know about your pet
As a pet sitter, I know that it's important to gather certain information about a dog before caring for them. This includes their medical history, feeding schedule and diet, behavioral quirks, training, and commands, exercise needs, and contact information for their owner and veterinarian. Having this information helps me provide the best possible care for the dog, anticipate any potential issues, and respond effectively in case of an emergency.
A typical day
As a pet sitter, I know that every dog/cat has their own unique personality and interests, and I always make it a priority to engage with them in ways that they enjoy. Some animals may love a good game of fetch in the park, while others prefer a more leisurely stroll around the neighborhood. I always take the time to learn about the dog's preferences and adjust my activities accordingly. I usually like to play with a variety of toys and puzzles to keep the pet mentally stimulated and entertained.
