Irena R.
Dog and cat lover. Love going on walks.
Pet care experience
I have been surrounded by dogs and cats since I was little. All my family and friends have pets and I am fond of all of them (both friends and their pets). I have dogsitted friend's dogs more times than I can count and catsitted a couple, but am super pacient and comprehensive of cats behaviour. I have two beautiful cats myself, Luna and Lola (she used to be my grandma's). I am from Barcelona and away from home I miss being around animals the most. I am studying an MA in History of Art in University of London and have high availability.
Reviews
Irena is amazing, both Draco and I adore her! This was our second time with her as a house sitter and I would never hesitate to have her sit for us again in the future. I had total peace of mind that Draco was in the best hands and would have an amazing time while I was on a week long holiday. I came back to a beautifully clean house and a very happy doggo! She was communicative throughout the stay and very conscientious of Draco’s routine and care instructions. On top of all that she is just a lovely and caring person!
Irena was fabulous once again!! Our original plan got thrown out the window when I was suddenly called away to a work conference and she was completely adaptable, calm and responsive! She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures of Fin and also put up with all my frantic messages with instructions. I’d recommend her to anyone!
Irena was so great with Rio. She sent us regular updates and photos. We look forward to having Irena sit Rio. I highly recommend her services and calm energy :)
Irena was so helpful with walking my dog Luna! She was always on time, Luna was always very excited to see her. I loved getting photo updates on their walks and couldn’t have asked for anything more! Would definitely recommend Irena and will be using her help again for sure!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I allow the dog or cat to approach me first. I let them smell me and get to know the sound of my moves, steps and voice. I always speak with a soft loving voice (I can't help it actually, both with animals and babies). One they are more comfortable around me I might start to play around with them to test their energy levels and let them know I am a friend. I will usually also give them a treat so they associate me with something they like.
