Hi! My name is Timofei Kotov. Since I was a kid I always had a pet at home. First we acquired a British cat, then we decided to get a dog from a shelter, his name was Stepan. He was an indoor dog, I used to take him for a walk at least once a day for at least half an hour(other times it was my family members), played with him everyday and always tried to spend as much time with him as possible. I always looked out for whether he picked something from the floor, so he stayed healthy.

Until now, I have not experienced pet care for dogs rather than my own ones.

I offer taking dogs for a walk for about 1 hour. It includes playing with them and walking in a park or elsewhere. I take dogs for a walk only with a leash.

I don't feel comfortable taking care of Dobermans or pit bulls. Apart from these breeds, I am more than willing to take your dog for a walk!

Regarding availability, I am a student, I don't have classes in the summer, so I am available almost everyday. I am ready to take care of dogs from 10Am to 8pm!

With energetic dogs I try to play more to match their vibe. Shy dogs on the other hand I enjoy more, since I just walk with them quietly and peacefully. I can take up to 2 dogs at once.

When we encounter other dogs, I would first let them peacefully sniff each other and then we would walk away. If someone barks at the dog or acts aggressively towards it, I will pull the dog closer to me to not let the conflict or attack happen and peacefully walk away calming and reassuring my dog.

Besides walking, I am willing to come feed the animals at home and play with them for some time, so they don't feel alone.
