Heidi & Illia 🐾

Hi!! :) We are Heidi and Illia and we have been professionally working with dogs for over 10 years. We speak 🇵🇱 Polish, 🇺🇸 English, 🇺🇦 Ukrainian and 🇷🇺 Russian. We previously ran our own dog care business in Chicago, and now we are bringing our experience to 🇵🇱 Warsaw. Dog care is our full-time work, but above all, it is our passion and lifestyle! We genuinely love dogs and are fully committed to what we do. We work as a team, and when a dog stays with us, they become a full part of our family. We never leave dogs home alone. There is no situation where we need to go to work, attend a meeting or take care of other commitments while the dog stays by itself — they are with us throughout the entire stay and always under our care. We live an active, sporty lifestyle. We love long walks, spending time outdoors and being close to nature. Even when we don't have a dog staying with us, we regularly go for walks, so sharing an active lifestyle with a dog comes naturally to us. We live right by Ratusz Arsenał, in a great location for dogs. There are dog parks nearby, including the area around Krasiński Garden, as well as plenty of parks and green spaces. We also have easy access to longer walking routes towards the Vistula River. During walks, your dog's safety is always our priority and we keep them under control at all times — dogs stay on a leash. Depending on their individual needs, we can go outside for short walks even every couple of hours, as well as enjoy longer walks and outdoor activities. We also believe that staying connected with the owner is an important part of good pet care. You will receive regular updates, photos and videos throughout your dog's stay, so you always know how they are doing and what they are up to. Every dog is treated individually. We take the time to understand their personality, energy level, habits and needs, and tailor their daily routine accordingly. Our goal is for every dog to feel safe, relaxed and comfortable with us — just like they are in their second home. 🐶❤️ Before your first booking, we always love to meet you and your dog for a short meet & greet. It gives us a chance to get to know each other, talk about your dog's personality, routine and needs, and answer any questions you may have. We believe that meeting beforehand is the best way for both the dog and the owner to feel comfortable before the stay. :) We have worked with dogs of different ages, sizes and personalities — from calm and shy dogs to highly energetic, reactive or more demanding ones. We also have experience caring for deaf dogs, as well as dogs with other special needs. A significant part of our experience also comes from working on behaviour and basic dog training — including basic obedience, responding to commands, leash walking, socialization and positive reinforcement. We are comfortable adapting our care to each dog's individual needs and the owner's instructions — from feeding and activity levels to rest, medication, allergies and specific daily routines. Our goal is not only to keep dogs safe, but also to make sure they are calm, active, well cared for and genuinely happy while they are with us. 🐶❤️ Note: I send many updates throughout the day with photos and videos for the duration of your pets stay, though Rover says only 70-80% of bookings with photos. The reason for this is often pet parents prefer I send photos and videos over text which changes my stats on Rover. Rest assured I send MANY updates!! ❤️)

Heidi was an amazing sitter! I feel like Bruno went on his own mini vacation. She was super communicative and I could tell he was well cared for and loved. Will definitely rebook next time I travel. Thank you!

Heidi was AMAZING with Kai 🐶💖 She watched him overnight and through the next day, and I seriously couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She’s incredibly meticulous, thoughtful, and clearly really cares. I got tons of detailed updates and photos, and Kai looked SO happy in every single one 🥹✨ What really stood out was how careful and considerate she was—when I was picking Kai up, she even asked whether he should wear his jacket in case he was cold, but also thoughtfully worried about him being too warm if the car heater was on. That level of attention and care honestly meant everything to me. I trusted her completely the entire time, and I’d recommend her to absolutely anyone without hesitation. She’s kind, responsible, and so loving with dogs. Kai already can’t wait to hang out with her again—when we were walking away, he literally wanted to follow her 😭💖 Heidi is the best. 10/10, no notes ✨🐾

Heidi was phenomenal. My dog Lola can be a bit of an anxious girl, but Heidi did great with her. Lola came home happy and playful so I know she had a great time! Heidi sent lots of updates and was a great communicator. We hope to be able to use her again in the future to watch Lola!

Heidi was sooo great with my boy Romeo! She sent lots of updates and pictures, and I could tell he was having fun and very comfy like he was at home. She's super attentive and goes the extra mile to make sure your pup is taken care of! Romeo says thank you Heidi and he misses you already :)

We are at home the majority of the time! :) We will provide and care for your pet and provide very frequent potty breaks as well as walks during your pets' stay.

Safety, trust & environment

We live in a dog friendly apartment building. There are a variety of nearby parks within walking distance of us. If you prefer me to take your dog to the dog parks, we can do that -- or if you prefer street walks only, we can do that as well, we are very flexible. Just let us know ahead of time :) During the time that we watch your pet, we send frequent text and photo updates daily. Feel free to ask any questions or for photos at any point your pet is staying with us, but we will likely be sending you a ton of updates anyway! 😂 We will tailor a routine depending on your pet's needs and document our fun outings! :) Also — there are no other pets in our household and it is a non-smoking, clean environment. Our place is quiet and relaxing.

A typical day

We'll snuggle and watch movies, go for fun walks/runs outside, and get some good sniffs at the park! We primarily focus on building a bond with your pet during their time with us, but we can also have them interact and play with other pets if that is what you prefer as well. Depending on their needs, we will tailor their day to the schedule you prefer :) For example, if your pet does not get along with other dogs or needs to play alone, we will take them to parks where they can do this. Or, if your pet likes other dogs, we'll go to parks where they can play together. Just let me know what you prefer! We also do allow dogs on my furniture as well as the bed :)

Let us know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors we need to be aware of. For example: pets anxiety/behavior during storms, what you do to ensure they are taken care of during storms, any medication they require, health issues, allergies to foods/treats etc, the amount of time/walks they require, or how you prefer them to sleep (crated/not crated etc., their feeding schedule). Let me know what kind of treats you give your dog, how much, and whether or not they can have other treats other than what you bring. Is your pet reactive/do they lunge etc.? Let us know, and if you think of anything else don't hesitate to reach out: we will save this to their notes. This helps us to ensure they receive the absolute best care and that your pets' needs are met while you are away.
