Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine—I’ve built flexibility into my schedule to prioritize the needs of the pets I care for. Whether it’s early morning walks, playtime, or evening check-ins, I’m able to adapt to each pet’s routine and provide consistent, attentive care. Making animals feel safe, happy, and loved is something I truly enjoy, and it’s a part of my day I always look forward to.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I always ask detailed questions about how the owner cares for their pet—everything from feeding schedules and walk times to favorite toys and habits. I know that consistency is key, and sticking to the pet’s routine helps them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while their family is away.

Information Ksenia S. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know as much as possible about your pet’s routine, personality, preferences, and any special needs they may have. I always ask about feeding schedules, exercise habits, quirks, triggers, health concerns, and how they like to be comforted. The more I know, the better I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free—just like home.

A typical day

I always start by asking owners what their pets enjoy and what activities they typically do together—every pet is different, and I want to make sure I’m keeping them happy and engaged in ways they’re used to. If I’m given the freedom to choose, I tailor the fun to the pet’s personality—whether it’s long walks, fetch in the yard, puzzle toys, tug-of-war, or just plenty of belly rubs and snuggle time. I pay close attention to what each pet seems to enjoy most and make that the focus of our time together.

Ksenia is great! She was always on time and was able to step in and help out with short notice. 10/10 would book with her again!

Ksenia is very kind and professional! She did a great job taking care of our 8 month year old kitten while we were away on vacation. Great communication and our cat liked her. Highly recommend :)

Ksenia went way above her duties and took great care of my beloved dog while I was away on a long vacation. Ksenia gets my highest recommendation!

Ksenia was fantastic! She took wonderful care of my little fur baby while I was away. She gave me such peace of mind that my cat was so well taken care of over the past few days. Ksenia was so communicative and sent me cute pictures everyday!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
