Pet care experience

(Deutsch, English, Português, Español) I've lived with dogs since I was born and always loved to take care of them. I was a baby when I played with Yeats, in elementary school when I learned how to feed, walk and play with Bogart and learned the most about training dogs with our rescue Laika through middle and high school. For a few years, in college and after, I dearly missed having a dog to come home to. Now I am blessed to live with my fiancee's old and friendly Schipperke mix Louis who hasn't met a dog he didn't like yet and has become a neighborhood favorite. I feel better with dogs around and hope that I can return that positivity to all dogs I can take care of.

Kolja was excellent as a last minute dog walker! Would absolutely get him to walk my dog again

Our pets have become obsessed with Kolja, not only because he is a great walker but also because he connects with them like no other sitter has before. Around most other walkers/sitters, our cats are shy and full of teenage angst, but with Kolja they Scooby-doo run to greet him at the door. The most impressive part is that he can simultaneously walk our cat and dog at the SAME TIME, a particularly difficult feat. The only hesitation I have with continuing to use Kolja is that my pets will one day decide that they love him more than us, but until then Kolja is my go-to pet walker/sitter!

Kolja is amazing! I've had pets my entire life and only feel comfortable leaving mine in the care of someone who truly loves animals as well. Kolja is wonderful with both cats and dogs, as both a walker and a sitter. His attentiveness, enthusiasm and communication skills make me feel so much more at ease when I go on trips and need care for my animals. Kolja has watched and walked my best friend's dog on multiple occasions as well and truly thrives with the dogs at parks. I honestly cannot recommend him enough for walking or watching your furry loved ones!

Kolja has watched my dog on many occasions, and I would trust him with my dog at any time. He is fun-loving, thoughtful, and genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. He is extremely responsible and would react appropriately if there were ever an issue while caring for a dog. He is also a strong communicator and would likely be more than able to handle the necessary communications with dog owners.

How much exercise does your dog need (aka - should I bring running shoes)? Does your dog have favorite places to go to?
