Pet care experience

Happy to be part of your pets life!

Since childhood, I’ve been passionate about animals. I would rescue homeless dogs and cats, finding them loving families, and my own home was always filled with furry companions. Growing up, I spent a lot of time on my grandparents’ farm, caring for their animals habitat, and later volunteered at animal shelters. My journey with animals continued through college, where I also worked as a dog walker and pet sitter. After earning my degree, I became a veterinary assistant, gaining hands-on experience in medical care, assisting in surgeries, administering injections, and ensuring animals received the best attention. Caring for animals isn’t just a job for me—it’s a lifelong passion. I take pride in providing reliable and loving care, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to be a part of your pet’s life!

Katya and her husband were amazing with Maisy. I was so grateful getting daily updates seeing Maisy on walks, basking in the sun, and cuddling. She clearly had a great time and we will be booking again!! Strongly recommend

Katya and her husband took great care of my pup, Scout, while I was out of the country for 12 days. Scout is reluctant to walk in new environments and Katya provides regular updates on how comfortable Scout was and provided lots of pictures. I could tell Scout was being well taken care of. I Would definitely book with her again.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize your pet’s well-being by creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. I carefully follow their routine, provide plenty of attention, and ensure they feel comfortable and secure. For dogs, this means daily walks, playtime, and lots of affection. For cats, I respect their space while offering companionship, enrichment, and a cozy atmosphere. No matter the service, I treat every pet like my own with love, patience and dedication.

A typical day

Every day is tailored to your pet’s needs and personality! For dogs, this includes refreshing walks, playtime, belly rubs, and relaxation. If they love adventures, we’ll explore new routes and parks. For cats I provide gentle care, interactive play and a cozy space to relax.
