Responsible and caring

Pet care experience

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 was the absolute best! We have never left our almost 16 year old dog with anyone other than family before. She is a handful, stubborn, and had frequent accidents, needing diaper changes. Irina was so patient and kind with Dori and sent lots of updates and pictures. We were able to rest knowing Dori was in good hands. I would 1000% recommend Irina, she is very attentive, patient, and kind.

This was my first time finding a dog sitter on Rover for my 21 month old Lab/Golden Cross. Irina explained how everything worked and how she planned to spend the day with my puppy. And she followed up with photos/videos daily. She took my puppy to a huge park and the beach near her house. I'd say my puppy's staycation with Irina was fantastic!
