I run my own training business from home, which gives me the flexibility to care for your animal in your own home and fit visits around what suits you. My schedule is my own to arrange, so I can commit to the times your pet is used to being fed, walked, or checked on, whether that's early mornings, midday, or evenings. Because I'm not tied to fixed office hours, I can be reliable and consistent for the whole time you're away, and flexible enough to adjust if your plans change. I'm happy to agree a regular routine with you in advance so your pet knows what to expect and you know exactly when I'll be there.

About Katja O.

Dog skills

35 years of experience

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in your home, where they're most comfortable and can stick to their normal routine while you're away. I'll handle feeding, fresh water, play, and any care tasks you request, following whatever schedule works best for you and your pet. I keep things secure while I'm there, making sure doors and windows are closed and your pet stays safe indoors. I'll follow any instructions you leave, from food portions to favourite games or the quiet spots your pet likes best, so their day stays as familiar as possible. I also send regular photos and updates so you always know how they're doing, and I treat every pet with the same care and patience I give my own.

Pet care experience

I've shared my life with animals since I was eight, from the family dog I grew up with to another in my twenties, and cats have been part of my home for around thirty years. That long stretch has taught me to read an animal's mood and move at their pace rather than my own. If your pet is nervous, shy, or slow to trust, you're exactly the kind of owner I'm glad to hear from. I don't rush or crowd an animal. I let them come to me, and I've found that even skittish cats who hide from most people tend to settle with me before long. Quiet patience does most of the work. Your pet stays on their normal routine while you're away, with feeding, play, and company that fit what they're used to. I'll keep you updated with photos and notes so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. Whether you have a bouncy dog or a wary cat who needs a gentle presence, I'll treat them with the same care I give my own.

Katja is an amazing, caring pet parent and pet friend. She gives the pets she looks after the same level of attention, care and love that she does for her own and I'm very happy to recommend her.
