Pet care experience
My family often jokes that I'm the middle child because they consider our rescue dog, Bisbee, to be the oldest sister. I've been around animals literally since the day I was born, and I have experience with pets ranging from a rotweiler-mix rescue, to a standard poodle, to a rescued senior cat. Beyond my experience with pets, I also having professional pet-care training. I've worked as a dog-walker and dog-daycare shift lead for over a year, and so I have experience of ensuring the safety and well-being of up to 30 dogs at one time. Whether I'm watching one pet or thirty I can form a bond with any and every animal, and my goal is always to ensure both you and your pet are as happy and comfortable as possible!
Reviews
Sasha has cared for my dogs when I’ve been gone on many occasions. Each time she has been very communicative and responsible. She is great with pets and my dogs loved their time with her!
I’ve known Sasha for ten years. She is kind and responsible. She loves pets, and pets love her. Over the years, she has helped take care of our dog, Cinnamon, walking her and feeding her. Whenever Cinnamon sees Sasha, she gets very excited and has to go over to say hi. Sasha has always been very reliable; but equally important to me is that my dog always seems very happy to see her, and vice versa.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
While caring for your pet I will ensure the safety of your furry friend above everything else. I allow your pet to set the pace of the relationship, especially if the visit takes place in your home!
Information Sasha K. would like to know about your pet
Before I can care for your pet I need to know about: -special needs -allergies -current/or prior injuries -likes & dislikes -compatibility with other animals -if there’s any behavior, sound, etc. that spooks them
A typical day
I love being around water and so a typical day would likely involve strolls around my hometown, Brookline. My go-to walking place is Jamaica Pond, which has a loop of around 3 miles. From there, if the dogs still have energy to get out, we will head over to the downes dog park which is huge & entirely fenced in. The more energetic dogs can zoom around while others can nap peacefully in the shade!
