Katya’s Pet Kare
Pet care experience
I’ve always loved dogs and animals and had my own English bulldog before he moved away with my mom. I bring the kind of care and good attention to behavior that I believe will make your dog better adapted and trained. I believe that every moment with your pet is a learning opportunity and adopt my good training practices I’ve used with my own dog when I am looking after your furry friends. I am in school at Santa Barbara City fully remotely right now, so I have no other real commitments in my schedule during this next semester. I will love to be there for people last minute, and I do have a car. My house set up is really mellow and empty at the moment, there are 4 girls in the house and there is a huge kitchen with easily moppable floors. We are looking at fostering or getting some hands on training before commuting to getting a house dog.
Reviews
Kayta took care of Olive and our house for 5 days in March, she was fabulous! Olive loved her, they played well together, took long walks, and cuddled! We received daily photos or their adventures. Our house was well taken care of and all chores completed as we'd asked. Olive was looking out the window for Kayta for several days after she left. Kayta is very personable and Olive took to her immediately. Highly recommended, we'll ask her to house sit the next time we go out of town, you should too!
Katya was amazing with my Cha Cha!! I traveled to SB to meet friends and was not able to keep my pup with me. Katya agreed to a meet and greet on FaceTime a week prior. She was also super flexible with the drop off. I had friends from out of the country visiting who wanted to spend time with Cha Cha and Katya was flexible with these daily visits!! I would definitely hire Katya again when visiting SB!!
We had a bit of miscommunication about the drop-off time, but Katya did a great job taking care of Switchback while I was out of town for a few days. Switch loved playing with her dog, and she was very gracious when my flight back got delayed and I couldn't pick him up until after midnight.
Katya took great care of our dog and home while we were away, and was very quick to respond to messages and to provide updates. i would definitely recommend her services and will be booking her again in the future!

Safety, trust & environment
I always make sure to be very cautious when I am watching a pet and my two roommates are as well. If I am in a clients space I make sure it’s better than I left it and that the house is taken good care of.
Home
Information Katya W. would like to know about your pet
I want to be there for you and want to make the process smooth and easy! I would like to know what kind of behavior type they are and whether they get along with other dogs. Also, of course, if the dog has any special allergies, medications they have to take, or any other things to pay special attention to.
A typical day
I love to go hiking and enjoy the beach which is a short walk away. I also enjoy cozying up with a good book on my balcony, and love to cuddle with dogs in the sun on the couch. There’s so many great places to go walk, and huge lawns that are easily walkable.
