Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong dog owner and carer
I've lived with and cared for dogs for over twenty years, mostly small breeds such as Yorkshire Terriers, Shih Tzus and Poodles so I understand how unique their personalities can be. Little dogs are often more sensitive, more attached to their routine, and more easily unsettled by a change in the house, and I know how to keep them settled and happy. I've also nursed my own dogs through illness and injury. I've managed medication schedules, and supported a dog through rehabilitation, including hydrotherapy. If your dog needs tablets at set times, has mobility problems, or simply gets anxious when you're away, they'll be looked after exactly as I look after my own with love and care.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I care for dogs in their own homes rather than mine, so your dog stays in the place they know best, with their own bed, their own smells and their own routine. For a lot of small dogs that makes an enormous difference and I find that they settle far more quickly than they would somewhere unfamiliar. Keys are handled carefully. I label them with a code rather than an address, keep them stored securely, and any alarm codes or entry details are kept separately in a secure encrypted CRM system and never written down alongside the address. I'll never share your details with anyone. On every visit I do a quick check that the house is as I found it doors and windows secured, gates closed, water topped up, heating as you left it. I always check gates and fencing before letting a dog off lead in the garden, and small dogs stay on the lead outside unless you've told me otherwise. I'll send you a short video and update after each visit so you know how your dog is doing. If anything seems off they're not eating, they seem uncomfortable, something's happened in the house I'll contact you straight away rather than wait until you're home, and I'll always have your vet's details to hand in case they're needed.
Ratings and reviews
Inna grew up around dogs including our family dog Dara who was a German Shepherd and a trained police dog, so from a young age Inna learned how to handle a large, working animal properly and with respect. She's had dogs of her own ever since. Her own dog Harley she has looked after devotedly for many years, including frequent vet visits, giving him his medication and taking him to hydrotherapy sessions. She is patient, calm and never cuts corners where an animal's wellbeing is concerned. She notices straight away when a dog isn't itself. Any owner leaving their pet with her would be in very safe hands.
I've known Inna for over twenty years. In that time she's walked and looked after both of my dogs Benson a Rhodesian Ridgeback cross, and Daisy, a Jackapoo on several occasions including overnight stays. Benson is a big, strong dog and she handles him with confidence, and she's just as good with Daisy, who needs a gentler touch. Both are always delighted to see her. She's also cared for her own Yorkie, Harley well for many years. She treats other people's pets exactly the way she treats her own. She notices when something isn't right whether they've eaten properly, whether they seem off in themselves. I'd trust her with any animal of mine.

Schedule
Pet care is what my days are built around rather than something I fit in between other commitments. I keep my mornings and early evenings free for visits, which is when most dogs need feeding, walking and letting out, and I have flexibility through the middle of the day for check-ins, medication or a bit of company.
