Pet care fits into my routine because, even though I work a regular office job, I dedicate my free time to caring for pets. I genuinely enjoy spending my evenings, weekends, and major holidays helping pet parents who need an extra hand. This balance allows me to be fully present and focused when I’m with your pet, making sure they get the attention, comfort, and care they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

Trust is incredibly important to me. I understand that inviting someone into your home and handing over responsibility for your pet is a big decision. That’s why I prioritize clear communication, dependability, and genuine care in everything I do. You can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, loved, and looked after with the same attention I’d give my own.

Information Katia S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there’s anything in particular you’re looking for in your pet's care—I’m always happy to tailor my approach to fit their needs.

A typical day

I love keeping pets engaged, active, and happy, so I tailor activities to what each pet enjoys most. For dogs, that might mean taking a relaxing stroll along the Hoboken waterfront or checking out the many great dog parks around the city for some playtime and exploration. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a brisk walk, or simply stopping to sniff around and enjoy the sights, I make sure every outing is fun, safe, and enriching. For pets who prefer indoor fun, we’ll enjoy toys, cuddles, and plenty of attention to keep them comfortable and entertained.

Pet care experience

I’ve always been that dog-obsessed kid who never had one growing up, so I made up for it by dog-sitting for all my friends’ pups. What sets me apart is my commitment to being highly reliable and available whenever you need me. I genuinely love pets of all types and sizes, and I’m always ready to provide consistent, caring attention—whether it’s a last-minute request or part of your regular routine. You can count on me to show up on time and give your pet the best care, every single time. I’m originally from Italy, and since I don’t have any family nearby, I’m always around and available during major US holidays.

Katia was great! Followed our care instructions to a T and took very good care of our kitties. Took lots of pictures and sent good updates. I would book with her again :)
