Pet care experience

Responsible and caring

Growing up we always had a balance of 1 dog and 3 cats in my family and I love having pets in my home. Most recently, I had a Giant Schnauzer dog for 11 years until he passed away (he is the one in the pictures). Tyson was my heart and soul and I miss him every day. I am not ready to get another dog of my own yet but I would be happy to give my love and care to your dog or cat. I know first hand how difficult it is to find someone you trust to care for your fur baby. Tyson was 90 lbs in his prime so I am no stranger to walking giant dogs on a leash without being pulled away. I also have experience taking care of senior dogs and dogs with cancer and seizures. If your dog has a special need, reach out and I may be able to accommodate.

Irina asked questions to make sure she was well informed about Zoey’s needs and preferences and during the time she had Zoey, she sent great daily updates and photos and videos - Zoey seemed to be having a great time! We are so happy with Irina’s care with Zoey - highly recommended!

Wow, we are so happy to have found Irina to take care of our Charlie. My husband and I were so impressed with the level of care she provides, as well as sending photos and videos showing us how well Charlie was doing. We have used a lot of carers on Rover and I have to say that Irina has been by far the best. Thank you so much Irina you are the best!

Irina was very communicative and wonderful from pre-visit to the end. I would trust her to watch my dog any day.

We spent many hours searching for someone like Irina to take care of our dog, and we feel so lucky that we were able to book with her. This was honestly one of the best experiences we’ve had using this app. Throughout our time away, Irina sent sweet photos and videos that reassured us our pup was in great hands and helped us feel at ease. We're really grateful for the care and attention she gave. 5/5 stars!

Our dog always loves his stay with Irina, particularly their trips to the cape to enjoy nature! She is so great at taking care of him and helping him settle in.

Safety, trust & environment

I host up to 2 pets at a time to ensure pet safety. My home is a condo on the first floor in South Boston with a private entrance to a fenced-in patio. Nearby is a large park so your dog will get plenty of outside time and walks.

A typical day

I live near a very large park. I usually take dogs for long walks in the park or along the beach, depending on their needs.

Dogs over 1 year old
Non-neutered males accepted, spayed females only

Irina can host up to 2 pets per night
Please let me know how your dog/cat is with other pets, if any issues with barking, if they have any special needs, any allergies, what their routine is, and their vet info for emergencies. (Due to restrictions on my condo insurance policy, unfortunately I cannot accept certain dog breeds or their mixes: Wolf dogs, Staffordshire/Pit Bull Terriers, Rottweilers, Bull Mastiffs).
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
