I am Katja, I am a German national and moved to Perth, WA​ over a decade ago. I brought with me my experience with all creatures great and small from birds to cats, dogs, a business of ferrets, horses, diverse rodents, some reptiles, squirrels and even a racoon. I am specialised in rehabilitation for agile, inactive or older pets as I am a Canine & Equine Massage Therapist and Rehabilitation Practitioner certified by the German Association for Animal-Naturopathy & -Physiotherapy (DGT reg. Assoc.) and member of the National Working Group of German Animal Physiotherapists (AFT - Gbr). I made my passion my job and don't own any pets myself - so I can be fully dedicated to your 'furbabies' without being distracted by other commitments.

I've been working with Katya's ANIWELL 24/7 Perth Pet Sitters as as a full partner in Animal Care and Dog Walking since 2015. Although we mostly work independent assignments due to overlapping schedules we had to join forces on a few horse and farm properties with up to 12 horses, 4 dogs, 2 sheep and 3 cats. We coordinate our duties equally between us and gained a lot of regular clients this way.

I truly appreciate all our furry or feathered clients with their unconditional love and wonderful characters that they are. I mainly have been caring for dogs and cats but also some horses. I follow the instructions given by the owners for feeding and general care, take dogs for their walks and keep the pets company in their home. I carry out duties like brushing, bathing if necessary, cleaning litter trays, wiping floors for any incidental messes and administer some medications.

I've been also caring for special needs animals with diseases like blindness or other specific needs like supervising dogs during swimming exercises in their own pool. Additionally, I looked after parakeets, chickens, ducks, fish, lizards and others. I've fed them and cleaned their water ponds or water tanks. Making sure they stay healthy and happy. I'm also looking after the indoor or outdoor plants during my stay.

 

I am a mother of a grown-up son and familiar with the responsibilities that come with caregiving and house-keeping duties. I don't smoke!

As a long-term friend of Katja, I support Katya's ANIWELL 24/7 Perth Pet Sitters as a Back-up Sitter in case the team is prevented by unforeseen circumstances from attending a Dog/Pet-Sitting or Walking.

 

Being an Australian by descent, living and working as a machine-engineer in Germany provided me with the highest standard in work-ethics, precision, tidiness and diligence in care and attention. 

I'm patient, considerate and responsible in the handling and caring for your animal friends and a reliable, trustworthy, neat and tidy house-sitter.

I looked after a menagerie of dogs, cats, ferrets, birds and diverse rodents during the past 25 years and we took in a variety of our friend's and family's pets regularly when they were on vacation.

I cared for sick dogs and pets and know how to handle midnight emergencies or how to administer prescribed medications well from my own experience. Even grumpy or anxious dogs and cats have usually no problem with me and become affectionate quickly.

 

I am flexible as I work from home and can attend a Pet-Sitting or fill in as a Back-up on short notice. I am a non-smoker!
