Pet care experience

Every dog has its day with me!!

Pets have always played a huge part in my life. When I immigrated to America, the only thing I packed was a small suitcase and my cat. Now, I’ve added a rescue dog and two stray cats to my little family! I’ve been a dog owner for almost my entire life, and I can handle walking/playing with large dogs and soothing/calming nervous or timid pups. I completely understand how stressful it is to leave your loved animals at a pet hotel or daycare, and I want to assure you that I will give them all the love, belly rubs, and cuddles that we both know they deserve! Also, I will provide you with frequent photos and updates, and you can even call my cell phone and talk to your pets over the phone (I’ll confess that I have forced my husband to hold his phone up to my dog’s ear on multiple occasions)! As far as availability goes, I have an extremely flexible schedule, so anytime that I can walk and play with your dog is convenient for me!

Waffles clearly enjoyed her stay with Faina. Faina provided much love and enriching experiences and shared lots of cute photos. We are looking forward to our next stay with her.

Faina took amazing care of our dog Tala. It was her first time leaving her with someone other than family and she could not have been more reassuring communicative or thoughtful. I honestly think our dog had a better time there than she does at home sometimes. She was super flexible when we had some timing changes and did everything she could to make Tala feel at home. Will absolutely use her again and could not recommend her enough.

Waffles loved staying with Faina. She provided a lot of enrichment and fun for Waffles and sent daily updates and photos. Waffles looked so happy--she was probably disappointed to have to leave! We will definitely ask Faina to watch Waffles next time we are away. Highly recommend.

Izzy had a great time with Faina! She sent lots of pictures and updates and I could tell Izzy was getting lots of attention and loving care. I would feel comfortable booking Faina again.

Faina was amazing. She sent me photos of Wylie (my dog) every day and gave me updates on his day and what they were doing. She made me feel comfortable that my baby was in good hands while I was out of town—which is all any of us want. 10/10 would recommend.
