Hi! My name is Konstantin and I am currently in my first year of university. I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I am able to work with dogs of all ages and have ample time/resources/availability to meet your needs! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 11, when my older sister got a dachshund who quickly became my best friend. I was actively involved in his daily care, which involved everything including training, walks, playtime, and socialization. We spent a lot of time exploring parks, beaches, and hiking trails around the Bay Area. I also have experience with: Basic training and behavior Daily exercise and enrichment, play time, hiking Vet visits and general health care: grooming, dental and vaccination appointments, supporting the dog during the appointments so they are less scared of the doctor In 2022, when my sister moved abroad, my family and I took full responsibility for him for two years, which gave me even more experience and independence in pet care. My sister’s dog now lives with her in France, and while I’m happy they’re reunited, I really miss having a dog in my daily life. Pet sitting allows me to do something I genuinely enjoy while helping others feel at ease when they’re away from their pets. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will always treat them as if they were my own.
