.Hi! My name is Irina. Nice to meet you. I work as a freelance photographer, which gives me a fair amount of free time in between jobs. In 2016, I started offering pet sitting to my neighbors. I enjoyed it so much and fell in love with all the pets I met. I have experience with large, small, and medium dogs. I can take care of single dogs or multiple dogs. I can work with dogs who don't like socializing/aren’t good at it, or with dogs who are more capable of being social. I can also work with dogs who need to stay on leash as well as those who can walk off leash on trails. I am familiar with most cities in the East Bay and San Francisco. I have house sat and pet sat in the cities of Berkeley, Oakland, San Leandro, San Francisco, Diablo, Kensington, San Rafael, and other multiple locations. I offer short-term and long-term pet sitting, dog walking, cat feeding, and/or pet visiting services. I can also water your plants in your home. I have taken a lot of workshops on energy and body work and use it on animals if needed. This helps an animal to have more ease in their body and even let go of some of their past abuse and trauma. Several pet owners have mentioned to me that their pet appears calmer and has more ease in general after my energy work on them. I enjoy walks and hikes with dogs and am able to walk them between 2-3 miles per day. I have experience de-skunking and bathing dogs. I love cats and would be happy to look after your feline companions. I have the most experience with cats, from growing up with them and taking care of them from a young age. I wonder how much fun all of us can have together, and what contribution I may be to you & your pet(s)? Please let me know if you have any questions, I will be happy to speak with you anytime! I don't offer a care in my home, I stay at my client's homes only. I rent a car at the moment and unfortunately there is no pets in a car policy, but I can drive your car if taking the pets in a park. I offer a discount for watching 4 or more dogs.
