Pet care experience
Caring Hands, Happy Tails
I’ve been around dogs all my life, and for over 20 years I’ve had the joy of sharing my home with Smooth Fox Terriers. They’ve truly been part of the family. Over the years, I’ve been involved in all aspects of their care — from whelping and raising puppies to giving medicine when needed. I’ve learned how each dog has its own personality, and I always take the time to help them feel safe and at ease in new surroundings. At the moment, I don’t have a dog of my own, but I have a lot of love and experience to offer. My flat is calm, comfortable, and dog-friendly, with a lovely park just a stone’s throw away — perfect for walks and playtime. I enjoy spending time outdoors and being active, so your dog will get plenty of fresh air and attention. Just a small note — English is not my first language, but I always do my best to communicate clearly and kindly. The most important thing for me is making sure your dog feels happy, safe, and loved while they’re with us. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Ratings and reviews
I am so grateful to Irina for looking after Leo for the first time. From the moment I left him with her, she was incredibly patient, caring and attentive, especially with him being such a very fussy eater! She kept me regularly updated with lovely messages and photos, took him on long walks and really went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and settled. It was clear that he was completely spoiled rotten and had a wonderful time! It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. Thank you so much, Irina, for taking such great care of our Leo, I am truly grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you. ❤️🐾
Irina was wonderful again! She stayed in our house to look after our 6 year old Cavachon and he’s been extremely well looked after. Together with her husband, Andrei, they have built a great bond with Pip and also trained and supported him to be off lead in a safe space. The care and attention is exceptional 😀 We received very regular photos and videos of Pip and updates on him. When we returned after 5 weeks the house was immaculately clean. Even my house plants were thriving which never happens with me! Irina is a truly caring and respectful dog sitter in your home. Thank you Irina and Andrei!
Irina is brilliant with Mary , booked boarding again she’s the best
I cannot thank Irina enough for how well she took care of Archie. Archie had a sudden paw injury just before our original booking and Irina was so understanding, and also took excellent care of him while I was away. He’s come back looking so healthy, happy and well taken care of. It was such a relief for me. I would recommend her to anyone.
Irina regularly walks my whippet, Twiggy, super caring, very punctual and always communicates clearly - would gladly recommend!
Irina regularly looks after our dog Freddie and always takes great care of him. He's very happy to see her and always well walked and looked after 😊

Schedule
I currently work part-time at a local school, which means my schedule is quite flexible and leaves me with plenty of time during the day to care for pets. When I’m not working, I’m usually at home, so your dog will have lots of company. Whether your dog loves activity or prefers a quieter pace, I’ll be there to give them attention, comfort, and companionship throughout the day

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is a calm and secure space, with a private garden where your dog can safely enjoy time outdoors. I live in a dog-friendly neighbourhood, and our neighbours also have dogs, so there’s always a friendly, social atmosphere around — perfect if your dog enjoys a bit of company! There are also two large parks just 5–10 minutes away from my home, perfect for daily walks, playtime, or a bit of off-lead exercise if your dog is used to it. I’m very familiar with the area and always make sure walks are safe, relaxed, and suited to each dog’s energy level. I’ve had many years of hands-on experience with dogs, and I understand how important it is to provide a safe and trusting environment, especially when pets are away from their usual routine. I also have a current DBS check, giving you added peace of mind that your dog is in responsible and caring hands.
A typical day
I love keeping dogs happy, active, and engaged! We’ll go on walks through quiet streets or parks, play fetch or tug-of-war, and enjoy sniffing adventures along the way. I like to switch things up to keep it fun and mentally stimulating — whether it’s learning a trick, chasing a ball, or just enjoying a relaxing stroll together.
