Compassionate pet sitter/dog walker

Pet care experience

I work remotely so my availability varies on different days. I grew up in a 3 dog, 3 cat and 2 bird household. I have casually cared for the pets (and wildlife) of my neighbors and friends since I was a young teen. Over the past 17 years as an adult, I have done pet care more professionally but never as a primary job. Dog walking, pet sitting(in owner's home), check ins during the week and shuttling to and from the vet. I hope to gain more local opportunities while I’m paying down my grad school debt. I have most experience in animal care for: dogs, cats, birds, and tortoises. I can do it all, I feed, walk, play, and clean their litter/cages: they will be well cared for. I am no stranger to administering medication for pets, be it pills, syringe or ointment. I have a lot patience with difficult pet personalities and will always try to go the extra mile to make your pet feel safe and loved. Caring for pets is something I take seriously, and I always try to meet the owner's expectations in the treatment of their pets.

She was wonderful. Even when our dogs were difficult she did what she could to take the best care.

Katiana provided wonderful care in our home for our two cats and dog while we were out of town! She provided daily updates and pictures. She demonstrated extreme patience with our often-stressed and anxious dog. Unfortunately, our dog got sick while we were away, but Katiana took amazing care of her (and our carpet!) and communicated with us regularly. She also administered daily meds without issue to our asthmatic cat. Would highly recommend Katiana!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a tall house with a declawed American short hair & 3 fluffy Siberian cats. I have boarded dogs before, but they were cat friendly or very good at ignoring the cats. I have a little walled patio, so to get a good run n I take the dogs to dog parks in addition to walks. If dogs are not suitable for DPs I take them for extra long walks.

Information Katiana F. would like to know about your pet

Disclaimer for the owners: until we have an established relationship please don’t request same day (especially after dark) bookings for your pets. I would like to meet you & your pet before I start a job. I love all dogs no matter their breed or size. I'm just shy of 5'3" so it will be a challenge handling an extra large dog on walks if they are prone to lunging. I would want to walk those types of dogs at times of the day when there are less people/dogs to get your pup excited.

A typical day

I adapt to the pets needs and routine. If they love exploring new places I can take them to larger parks with trails, if they prefer their familiar route we can do that too!

Because I have a full time job that varies in hours, I looking to stay very close to my neighborhood. I do enjoy breaking up the day to walk a dog or play with some cats. Weekends I’ll be more open to traveling to other parts of the city. I spend a lot of time with my family do I won’t always be available on holidays—unless I can bring your pet along. My whole family loves animals & my sisters’ dogs love getting new playmates.
