Highlights
Pet care experience
A Lifelong Pet Lover
Since high school I have pet sat for family and friends and I'm also a lifelong pet owner of both cats and dogs! My dog growing up was a Samoyed, giving me lots of experience in handling strong energetic dogs and I've had many cats throughout my life. Some, like my current cat Albus, were very cuddly, while others were very shy and reserved. This lifelong experience has allowed me to learn how to handle all sorts of different needs and personalities of every animal I meet and know the challenges and joys of pets at any age. Currently I have one pet named Albus, he's a very grumpy looking Norwegian Forest who loves to cuddle, take naps in the sun, and people watch through the windows of our house. He is also very mischievous and likes to mess with people by laying right where he knows you'll walk so he gets extra pets with no effort! All of this gives me the experience needed to ensure your pets get lots of playtime, daily walks, plenty of treats, as many pets as your fur-baby desires, and making sure they get any pills they need on time! I also know how stressful traveling away from your pet can be, so I will be sending plenty of pictures and will respond to any texts as quickly as possible to ensure you won't have to stress during your vacation!

Safety, trust & environment
I'll keep a close eye on your pet while I'm there and my main goal is to make sure their usual schedule is kept! so the more details of pet care you can give me the better. I'll make sure they get walks, meals, medicine etc. at the correct times to ensure the health and happiness of your pet. I am also happy to do household tasks like watering plants or taking out the trash. I will also always ensure all doors are locked, and there's a light on when I leave (unless requested otherwise) to make sure your pet is as safe as possible while I'm away.
Ratings and reviews
We are so glad we found Katya to look after our cats when we are away. She’s communicative and reliable!
Katya did a great job taking care of Benny while we were away! She is very sweet and responsible. Benny snuggled up to her in no time. She took great care of our home too. Would re-book without hesitation!
Katya was so amazing with my cat Peanut!! I felt so at ease while we were gone for a little over a week. Katya was super great at communicating, and in all the pictures she sent you could tell Peanut was so happy and comfortable with her. She went above and beyond to make sure Peanuts space was nice and clean, and overall did just such a great job at making sure our home was taken care of as well. Definitely would recommend her services and will 100% be booking with Katya again! Thank you Katya!
Katya has watched my dogs twice. both experiences were great and I will be requesting her services again. She is very responsive and goes out of her way to make sure my dogs have everything they need and are comfortable when she leaves. Highly recommended.
Katya was terrific! Shared photos and updates of her visit, and it was clear she was very focused on making sure Max was happy and well looked after. We’d highly recommend her!
Katya has been dog sitting for us for more than 5 years. We like to travel and can relax knowing our dog (Stella) is very well taken care of and all her needs are met when she’s with Katya. Katya is very attentive and affectionate toward Stella and Stella absolutely adores Katya and can hardly contain her enthusiasm each time she sees her. Katya’s genuine love for animals really comes through. I trust and highly recommend her.

Schedule
My shedule is very flexible, occasionally I will be out of town on contract but in the time I am home I will be able to cater to your pets schedule.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsKatya can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- I like meeting pets beforehand! This helps make sure everyone is on the same page when it comes to your pet's care and allows me to get to know your pet and their routine before I take care of them. Information I would like to know is how your pet acts when interacting with other dogs for walks, what their favorite treats and toys are, and if there are any medical conditions I need to be aware of!
