Dog Girl not Horse Girl

Pet care experience

I am a human and not three dogs stacked on top of one another in a trench coat. I have owned and been around dogs of various shapes and sizes since childhood. I currently have a rescue pit-bull mix back at home in Pennsylvania who've I've helped train through various behavioral issues including extreme doggy anxiety and general disobedience, thus I am knowledgeable in calming dogs down and diffusing stressful situations. I've also taken care of a number of foster dogs (and MANY cats!) in the past and I have experience tending to both puppies and senior dogs. Additionally, I’m young and full of brute strength so I can match your dog's energy (or lack thereof) level. Oh, and I'm a graduate student in art history so your dog WILL learn about Duchamp whether they like it or not.

Irena was wonderful! Provided a ton of updates and made my dog feel super comfortable as can be when I was away. Will definitely book her again!

Irena was a great sitter for our Daisy! She came and stayed in our home and took wonderful care of our pooch. It was clear that Daisy felt happy and comfortable with Irena while we were away. Irena was also great about checking in and sending updates while we were gone. Definitely recommend her and will be booking her again!

Irena was a great sitter for my dog. She was very detailed with all the messages she sent me to let me know what was going while i was a way. I would defiantly book her again.
