About Yekaterina O.

Safety, trust & environment
I follow your instructions like a recipe. Doors locked, food measured how you wrote it, meds on time if needed. I don’t invite anyone over, I don’t rearrange your stuff, and I’ll bring in your mail or water plants if you ask. You get photos and a short note after every visit so you know exactly how it went.

Information Yekaterina O. would like to know about your pet
Tell me everything, even the weird stuff. Hides from thunder, only eats if you stand next to the bowl, hates men in hats, whatever it is. The small details are what make the first day easy instead of stressful. Meds, allergies and vet info too, just in case.
A typical day
Depends on who I’m watching. A young dog gets a proper walk and playtime until the zoomies are out. A shy cat gets quiet company and a feather toy at their own pace. A senior pet gets slow walks and extra naps. I match their energy, not mine.

Shelter volunteer & rescue mom
Pet care experience
I’ve volunteered at an animal shelter for years and have a bad habit of bringing rescues home, so I’ve cared for a lot of dogs and cats with very different personalities. Grew up with a dachshund, spent summers watching my grandma’s dogs, and at some point owned a bird, a turtle and even a hedgehog. Not much surprises me anymore. My day job is running kids’ parties, so patience I have plenty of, and I don’t get rattled easily. I’ll follow your feeding and walk routine exactly how you wrote it, keep your pet’s schedule the way they’re used to, and send lots of photos along the way. Probably more than you need, honestly. Happy to do a meet and greet anytime so your pup can decide if they like me first. I reply fast and I’m flexible with timing.

Yekaterina also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
I’m very happy with the dog walking services! My dog was well-cared for and loved. I got regular updates and photos, which made me feel at ease. Highly recommend!
We’ve known Yekaterina for almost 15 years . Our dogs seem to relate to her on another level. They are so excited to see her every time.She trained them so fast, so professionally, we were amazed. It’s like our dogs were at school, but had a lot of fun . She is learning all the time, what is best for different animals. She educated us sometimes. We do not have to worry while we are gone knowing our pet is safe. We are very glad to know Yekaterina (Kate), and would recommend her to anyone. We will never call another pet sitter.
Can’t say enough about how great Katy (Yekaterina) was with Cloud☺️. This was the first time leaving Cloud alone and we were hesitant to use a help of a professional to look after her. Kate’s warmth and love of animals was apparent from our first meeting. She house sat for 10 days and kept us in the loop about everything going on. She spoiled Cloud rotten and I know I will be asking her back if I ever need someone again. Do not have any concerns in asking her to look after your pets. Amazing and Approachable!!”
As a pet owner who is way too attached to his dog, I recommend Yekaterina(Kathrine) as a conscientious and trustworthy pet sitter. I know that she will care for Buddy as I would. I am more comfortable leaving him with Kathrine that at a large kennel, because she really relates to each animal individually. I know this because she frequently brings dogs she is keeping to walk with Buddy and me, and I observe the way she learns the personality quirks of each one. Every dog she keeps forms a bond with her. When I leave Buddy , it is important to know that his physical needs will be satisfied.The affection that she receives from Kathrine makes her separation from me less stressful.
