I work from home full-time and have a very flexible schedule, which means your dog will have my full attention throughout the day. I’m home almost all the time, so potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles fit easily into my daily routine. I typically only care for one or two dogs at a time, so your pet won’t be competing for attention. If I ever have plans to step out, I’ll mark it in advance and make sure it won’t interfere with your dog’s care. You’ll also get plenty of photo updates so you can stay connected while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a calm, pet-friendly apartment complex with plenty of safe, grassy areas for walks right outside the door. There’s also a private dog park just a short walk away, where I love taking pups for off-leash play—always during quieter times to avoid crowds and keep things relaxed. I follow each pet’s routine and comfort level closely, and I’m happy to stick to leashed walks or adjust care based on their needs. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and peace of mind are always my top priorities.(:

Information Irina B. would like to know about your pet

I’ll go over everything in more detail during the booking or meet-and-greet, but it’s helpful to know ahead of time if your dog has any specific needs or behaviors. Because my home has a lot of carpet, I’m not able to take dogs who aren’t fully house-trained or are prone to accidents in new spaces. I’m also not the best fit for dogs who are prone to frequent barking, especially if they get anxious when left alone for short periods. My priority is to create a calm, comfortable environment where your pup can feel at ease—so feel free to reach out with any questions before booking!

A typical day

I’m happy to adapt my day around your dog’s needs—that’s the beauty of working from home. Feeding times, potty breaks, and walks all follow their usual routine. Your dog will stay by my side throughout the day—they’re never out of sight or left in another room. We typically go out every few hours for fresh air, walks, or potty breaks, with at least three walks a day (more if needed). I also love including visits to the dog park during quiet times if your pup enjoys that. They’ll get plenty of attention, play, and relaxation. 💕

Pet care experience

Work-from-home sitter with a heart for animals and a cozy space where your dog feels safe, loved, and never overlooked. I’ve cared for pets my whole life and volunteer with the Asheville Humane Society. After 16 years with my diabetic service dog Buddy, I understand just how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. I offer attentive, personalized care with no more than two dogs at a time—so your pup always gets the love and attention they deserve. I follow their routine, keep their day stress-free, and send lots of photo updates so you feel at ease.

Irina is the best! She is so caring and takes wonderful care of our dog. The pics she sends and the communication is fantastic. We feel confident our pup is well-taken care of and is actually having fun and feels comfy and happy at Irina's. Couldn't ask for a better sitter!

Irina was an amazing sitter for our doggie, she kept us up to date with pictures and information while we were away for a week. We will definitely use her services again.
