Best-In-Show Care for Your Pet

Pet care experience

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. I used to ride and care 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!

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.

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.

Information Katya N. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

I find that dogs typically have the best time when they get to sniff around and explore nature. Luckily, I live in a very planted area. Note: I will not do extended runs or jogs with puppies under a year of age. Because of their undeveloped softer bones, serious long-term harm can occur from forcing extended runs. When it comes to hanging out, I'll let your dog take the lead on what we do together. If his preference is run around in the rain for an hour, then you already know I'll be outside in the rain. If he prefers to cuddle and choose a Netflix show for us to watch, I'll let him pick and even hog the (dog-safe) popcorn. In my commitment to ensuring a tailored and premium experience, I take pride in catering to one pet at a time. This allows pet owners the peace of mind that their pet will receive my complete attention and care throughout their stay. Additionally, my boyfriend, a fellow animal enthusiast, resides with me, meaning that your pet will seldom be left alone. With us, your cherished companion will enjoy a personalized adventure, ample playtime, and a cozy home away from home.

I work during the week but my weekends are open. Need me in the early morning? No problem! My 5:00 am alarm is already set. The same goes for late evenings.
