Pet care experience
Like many pet owners, I love animals! My passion for dogs started ten years ago when my parents adopted a fur-baby, Baks (German Shepherd) Since then I’ve spent countless hours learning about animal behavior, dog training, animal nutrition and best practices for caring for a happy, healthy pet. Currently: As a proud parent of a friendly and calm Siberian Husky puppy myself, I believe that every dog needs special care and attention. I have experience with a wide variety of dogs and temperaments so I can take care of your unique pet the way they need. I tend to easily bond with animals, and I'm confident that with some patience, love, and tasty treats I can open the door to a developing relationship with almost anyone. After my MA studies in New York City, I decided to establish my own non-profit organization this is why my schedule is flexible and I am available full-time. We live with my husband in the flexible two bedroom apartment in one of the greatest area for dog walking and playing:) We are surrounded by Central Park, Morningside Park and Riverside Park. We have a large separated area in our apartment for our puppy and other pet guests. Sincerely, Yours Katarina I have many wonderful references to share!
Reviews
Katya was great! The dog thoroughly enjoyed her walks and I enjoyed the peace of mind that came with knowing that a caring, responsible person was with my puppy. She was amazing at keeping me updated on the daily walks and responding to my messages in a prompt and friendly manner!
Katya was wonderful with my dog, Emma, and very pleasant and professional to work with. She was punctual and responsible - I had total faith in her ability and felt completely comfortable with her caring for my dog. I highly recommend her and plan to use her services again myself.
Katya certainly takes her role very seriously, she took her time to bond with Maxie and asked me all the important questions about him during our first meeting. She also kept in regular touch by sending a text message updates and photos of Maxie playing and resting, which also gave me great peace of mind. He was so happy and relaxed when he came home that I knew Maxie had a lovely time and enjoyed his stay very much. I would certainly use (and recommend) Katya's service, again in the future.
Name: Samuel Last Name: Rotkins Katya started walking our two dogs Rana and Rex and they absolutely love their time with her. We really appreciate that Katya takes time to vary his walks, play games, introduce them to other dogs, reinforce training and send us picture updates (the highlight of our day at work!). It so reassuring knowing I have such a lovely person taking care of our treasured dogs. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone (and we have done!) who is looking for the best care for their dog. Thank you Katya!

A typical day
I make sure that your pet gets plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park, making friends and getting to know their canine neighbours while always being under my watchful eye. I guarantee that your dog will return home safe, happy and tired after an excellent workout. My goal is to tailor each walk to your dog's individual needs and I will be more than happy to play with favourite toys or to reinforce any training or routines that you have in place.
