Animals make me smile!

Pet care experience

Animals make us better humans! They always make me smile when I see them. I grew up on a farm taking care of animals since I was a child. Later on, my own family settled in Stow, MA. Soon we had kids and soon after we started adding pets - an English bulldog, multiple flocks of chickens, cats, bunnies, and one turtle. Nowadays, I just have chickens and one old cat so I have plenty of love for your pet. I believe that in addition to love, pets need daily exercise. I am a very active person and I am out daily rain or shine. Outdoor play and walk is something I would enjoy with your pet. My strength is in having inner understanding of the animal need and desire to make them happy. Thank you for your request!

Irena took wonderful care of our pup Brenna. Irene's compassion and dedication to pet sitting were truly exceptional. She provided regular updates and photos, easing any concerns we had. Brenna will undoubtedly be excited for go back and see her new friend again

Irena was amazing with our 5 month old puppy. We were nervous to leave him but she put our mind at ease. She shared lots of comforting photos and videos while we were away. Highly recommend her as a sitter.

Irena is amazing! She took excellent care of Marley. She and her family gave him so much love and cuddles. She sent pics and let us know everyday how he was doing. Marley is a rescue and can be a funny fellow when you leave him so seeing how happy he was with Irena let us really enjoy our vacation. We will definitely reach out again when we go out.

I don’t have a fenced yard but I can walk your dog on a leash. My house has space too. My cat is old and sleeps on the deck or basement so it’s not a problem. I have no young children in the house.
