Pet care experience
Your Pet’s New Best Friend
Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtles, hamsters, gerbils, and even chickens, and each one taught me something different about patience, joy, and unconditional love. Over the years, I’ve rescued dogs, helped others find their forever homes, and volunteered at shelters and adoption events. I have a soft spot for senior pets and pups with special needs. My dog Dumba is turning 16 this February, and supporting her through her golden years has taught me how to be gentle, attentive, and adaptable. Before Dumba, my dog Cookies bravely fought cancer for many months, and I cared for him through two surgeries and ongoing treatment. Because of experiences like these, I’m comfortable administering medication, monitoring health changes, and giving extra support to pets who need a little more care. I also love working with cats! Since rescuing Zoro when he was only 8 weeks old, I have developed experience with basic grooming, brushing, and keeping litter areas clean and comfortable. Your pets are family, and I’ll care for them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own.

Safety, trust & environment
I share my home with my senior dog, Dumba, and my goofy cat, Zoro. They’re both used to being around other animals, but my space isn’t large enough to comfortably or safely host additional pets. Because of that, I offer care exclusively in your home, where your pet feels most secure and where their routine stays consistent. When I’m caring for your pet, I follow your house rules and make sure your pet’s environment stays familiar and stress free. My goal is to respect your home, maintain your pet’s routine, and give them attentive, loving care while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Katiana was excellent, after she visits for dog care everything is exactly how it was left and the dog seemed great after I returned home. Katiana sent schedule updates and photos and summaries of her visits which was also appreciated
I'm so grateful for Katiana. She has built a wonderful bond with my dog, Pepper, and treats her like one of her own. Knowing that Pepper gets regular exercise, attention, and affection while I'm busy gives me peace of mind.
Katiana did a fantastic job caring for my dog! She is reliable, loving, and highly responsible. My dog took to her right away, which gave me total peace of mind. If you are looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, Katiana is the perfect choice.
Katiana took wonderful care of our 15-year-old Camila, who is like our daughter. She was incredibly attentive and patient, and we truly appreciated her thoughtful updates with pictures. It was clear she built a genuine bond with Camila, who felt comfortable with her right away. We’re so grateful and would highly recommend Katiana to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter.
Katiana was incredible with Dobby!! The passion and love she showed toward our puppy made it a truly unmatched experience. We’re so happy we gave ourselves the opportunity! Highly recommended!
Katiana is a wonderful dog and cat mom! I've seen first hand the care and love with which she treats her 16-year-old dog Dumba and her 2-year-old orange cat Zoro. She's also the type to hang out with the dog or cat at parties, she's drawn to animals as much as they are to her. She'll be a great pet-sitter for sure. :)

Schedule
My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine. I'm currently offering daily walks and drop‑in services. I live in Winchester and know the area well, so your dog can enjoy peaceful walks around Horn Pond or fun playtime at Sheepfold Dog Park.
