Pet care experience

Med student who loves her pups!

My name is Katya and I am currently a medical student at Pacific Northwest University. I've moved to Yakima from Bend, OR to attend school, and have been placed in Walla Walla for my 3rd and 4th years. I am an active person that your dog(s) would love to hang out with. When I'm not in school, I'm usually outside on a trail, in the yoga/spin studio, snowboarding, or climbing. I adopted my cat, Charlie, a few years ago and he has trained me well in the art of chilling out on the couch. Always looking for 4-legged running buddies and puppy breaks to keep me company.

Katya was wonderful with our very shy kitty and super communicative regarding kitty’s care and timing of feedings. We appreciate her thoughtfulness and gentle understanding of working with a kitty that has special needs. We learned some great kitty facts from Katya too! We highly recommend and thank Katya!

Katya house sat for our 2 dogs and 3 cats. She was very sweet and the animals loved her. She kept in contact about the animals as needed. I highly recommend her.

Katya did a great job caring for our 4-legged crew. They took to her immediately the first time she came by to meet them, so I'm sure they had a blast playing with her the entire time we were gone - snuggles in bed and frisbee in the park. She also kept us up to date with photos and texts, which was fantastic.

Katya is so friendly and we definitely felt comfortable leaving her with our two labs for the weekend. She left the house just as we left it and sent pictures of both the pups throughout our weekend away. I would definitely recommend using Katya for your dog-sitting needs!

Katya is fantastic with pets that require a little extra loving. Porter loved having someone stay with him at our home, and we appreciated her daily updates. Highly recommend booking her!

Important things for me to know about your pup are temperament, food aggression, triggers or fears, allergies, sociability, and if they are good off-leash. It is always better to be safe than sorry, so if you have a pup that is too aggressive for a dog park, just let me know so I can keep us both safe and healthy while you are away.
