Best-In-Show Care for Your Pet

My experience with animals is anything but ordinary. My journey started as a fearless kid who found joy in looking after the nervous, afraid, and wild stray dogs of Russia. Fast forward to today, and I've been a proud owner of two dachshunds, birds, chickens, bees, fish and shrimp. However, that is not where my animal adventure begins. My whole life I’ve ridden and cared for horses, so you can trust me when I say that your dog pulling me is nothing I haven't experienced from a thousand-pound horse :). Whether it's a teacup puppy or a Great Dane, I've got the patience and love to handle them all. If you're looking for a dog walker who's not afraid to get a little dirty, look no further. I'm your go-to person for everything dog-related. Let's go on an adventure together!

Safety, trust & environment

I understand how important it is for high energy breeds to get their daily exercise, which is why I give walkers the chance to customize their type of walk. If your dog would prefer a jog in the morning instead of a walk to wear him out for the day, say no more, my running shoes are already on. I used to be a runner for SE England, so I have no issues fulfilling the exercise needs of our furry client. Prefer a lazy stroll? No problem, we’ll walk around and make sure to smell every rose (or fire hydrant). We'll take our time, explore the neighborhood, and make sure to sniff out anything that catches our fancy. 2 hour walk? I'll make sure to bring the both of us a water bottle.

Katya was super attentive, responsive, and quick to give updates! She was great and my dog had a great time with her as well!

Katya and her boyfriend Matt were great and my dog loved staying with them! They were very nice, asked good questions, and provided thorough updates 1-2 times a day. I can tell they really care that both my dog and I were comfortable with the arrangements and it’s great to feel like your pup is in good hands. Would love to have them watch Brody again.

Katya and Matt were amazing. My dog got a lot of exercise (probably more than she bargained for) and seemed really happy when I picked her up. Katya was super communicative - gave me updates every morning and evening with a detailed review of what they did and a photo. I highly recommend.

Our first-time pet sitting experience with Katya for our spunky Mini Australian Shepherd, Josie, was absolutely paw-some! Katya kept us in the loop with updates twice a day, and Josie totally thrived under her care. Josie adored both Katya and her boyfriend! Their tag-team style made Josie feel right at home. Katya and her boyfriend are the ultimate pet-sitting dream team! Josie couldn’t get enough of them, and we’re grateful for their awesome care. Thanks, guys!

I take the health and safety of your pet very seriously. For this reason, I would like to know whether your pet has any known allergies, triggers, or special requirements. For the doggies with 2 paws and 2 wheels, send me a heads up, and I'll make sure to plan a route with flat surfaces and minimal bumps and curbs.
