Our pup was happy and healthy with Irena, our house was well taken care of and we felt great with her looking out for our boy.

Irena was a fantastic sitter for Jake! He's a shy guy and likes to stay home and having Irena stay over was a huge relief, she made a quick family vacation worry-free. Irena is very responsive and she provided frequent updates. Irena is super sweet and easy to work with!
