I work from home, so your dog will have consistent attention and care throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to adapt to your dog’s routine, whether that’s regular walks, playtime, or just lounging nearby. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends and can accommodate a range of drop-off and pick-up times.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog will be in a calm, pet-free home, which is ideal for dogs that prefer their own space or don’t get along with other animals. I have a backyard for fresh air and play, and I’m attentive to maintaining a safe, clean environment at all times. My roommate is also a dog lover and happy to help, so your dog will get plenty of attention. I’m comfortable following any specific care instructions, including feeding routines, medications, or crate training if needed.

Pet care experience

Lifelong dog lover with over 14 years of hands-on experience caring for my own pup, who recently passed at the ripe old age of 17. I’m not ready to commit to another just yet, but I really miss having a dog around. Over the years, I’ve dog sat regularly, cared for roommates’ dogs, and fostered as well. I work from home and have a backyard, so your pup will get plenty of attention, playtime, and probably more affection than they bargained for.

Couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible care Irena gave our senior pup, Bella. She boarded Bella for 3 nights and cared for her so thoughtfully and lovingly. We received updates with adorable photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Irena is reliable, communicative, and genuinely loves animals, it truly shows in the way she cares for them. Bella got plenty of snuggles, attention, and comfort the entire stay. Any pet owner would be lucky to have Irena care for their pets. Beyond five stars, highly recommend!

Can’t think of a better - more loving or attentive - pet care taker than Irena. After giving her sweet dog Pia a beautiful, long life, this feels like the perfect role for Irena. Trustworthy, communicative, and a great person. My friend for 15+ years, I would recommend her to everyone!

I highly recommend Irena as a dog sitter. She’s cared for both large and small dogs in her home and has a natural ease with all kinds of personalities. She’s patient, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. Her large backyard is a huge plus, giving dogs plenty of space to run and relax safely. More than anything, she treats every dog like her own and is incredibly reliable and easy to communicate with. I’d trust her with my dog anytime.

Irena was mom to a sweet beagle for fourteen years. The two of them traveled the world together and were best friends until the end. She is a true pet person. Loving, responsible and empathetic your dog will be in very good hands. And she has a great shaded yard!
