Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Katerina! My husband and I are a super friendly family with a chocolate lab, living only 5 mins walking distance from Penny Pack Park. We have an open house and a fenced yard. I work from home and take my chocolate lab , to the park on run/hikes every day. If your pet stays with us he will: ✔ Will spend at least 45 mins in the park with us daily if the pup is trained off leash/30 min on leash ✔ Train with our lab for 20 mins daily (practicing new or already taught commands) ✔ Free to run in our fenced yard throughout the day ✔ Can sleep in our bed, furniture ✔ Free to run around the house, nothing is off limits ✔ Will get individual attention as we do not host more than 2 pets at a time :) You as a parent will get: ✔ Lot of picture/video updates ✔ GPS location, tracking when we are outdoors ✔ Baths and nail clipping upon request I don’t leave home for more than 1-2 hours at any given day and there will always be someone at the house so your pup wont ever be alone. I have 6 years of experience working with animals including 4 years of being a vet tech, so I’m comfortable administering medications/ fluids if needed. Our chocolate lab is highly trained, energetic and submissive in nature, we require a meet & greet for every new guests. Roughing and playing is highly encouraged, however we will not be able to accommodate a pet with any aggressive/dominant demeanor. It’s a smoke- free house and my house has a lot of plants! Will happily host your pet as long as he/she is friendly with other animals, potty trained and doesn’t eat our plants ;) PS: We recently became parents so your pet must be good with young children :)
Reviews
We had a wonderful experience! Bogey loved hanging out with Haxel and learning new tricks. ??
Coco had a great time with Katya and her family !!! Would highly recommend!!
Katerina and Nir are more than just dog sitters, they treat my pup as family. My dog was abused as a puppy and is extremely anxious. Katya is caring and understanding of his quirky personality. Haxel and the other dogs they host give him an opportunity to play and socialize in a safe environment. Katya regularly sends photos and updates about his stay. I’ve had family & friends comment on the great quality of the pictures, even asking if we hired a professionally photographer! I can’t say enough about the welcoming and warm environment Katya provides for our dog. We are so happy he has a home away from home!
Katya was EXCELLENT, she was very accommodating as I had to drop off my dog at an unreasonable time to make an appointment. She was above and beyond as a pet sitter. I don't have the opportunity to travel often but when I do she will be my first choice. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Information Katya K. would like to know about your pet
If they are good on a leash? We let dogs run free in the park so if your dog isnt trained to come back I need you to let me know and provide a leash. I need to know if your dog gets along with other pets, I have a chocolate lab, very sweet and submissive. And I need you to let me know if your dog is potty trained and has good house manners (no chewing on furniture etc.)
A typical day
We live 5 mins away from Penny Pack, so running around, water activities, nature will be a part of daily routine. I occasionally go on runs, so if your dog is keen I will take them with me.
