Gentle Cat Sitter and Dog Walker

Hi, I’m Yana (Iana is the legal name), and animals have been part of my life since childhood. My husband Edward and I live with three cats and have cared for pets of different personalities. Edward is a registered nurse and my backup person. We’re both calm, patient, and let animals set the pace. My background in psychology and my husband’s 20 years of experience as a nurse help us read behavior cues and provide thoughtful, respectful care. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, companionship, or a steady routine, we’re happy to support their needs.

Yana is so wonderful! My dog Luna doesn’t always love everyone, but she just loved Yana! She was our daily Dog Walker for the last six months. Luna was always so excited to see her! Yana is so communicative and incredibly responsive. I always trusted Luna when she was in her care!

We were so lucky to find her when we needed someone in a pinch! Our regular dog sitter was moving that weekend, and our friend who usually dog and house sits for us was busy. We even had another Rover cancel on us last minute, so we were getting a little nervous! She was available to do a meet and greet and then came for the full hour both days for drop-in visits. She was very responsive, followed all of our feeding instructions for both dogs, fed our fish, and took AMAZING pictures while she was there. It was so nice getting the updates and knowing everyone was taken care of. She was dependable, easy to communicate with, and clearly cared about our pets. We would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter! 🐶❤️

Fantastic. She sent me pictures everyday. Frankly, I think buying pet photos of that quality would have cost me more! I also think she left my place cleaner than it was when I left. My girls were safe and happy.

Iana went above and beyond for our Stella. She is a problem solver and put Stella’s needs first. I highly recommend Iana as a caregiver for beloved and treasured pets. Iana was responsible and respectful to our home in addition to great care.
