Pet care experience

I'll treat your pets like family

Hi! I am a responsible high school teacher who is looking for an additional part-time job. I have owned several cats in the past, before marrying my husband who came with two very large American Staffordshire Terriers. After five years of caring and walking those two, I can safely say that I can handle walking large dogs. We recently got divorced and I miss having animals in my life (but I am not ready for a commitment to owning one). I teach during the week but am free after 3 and my summers/weekends are pretty flexible. (Depending on where you are located, I can run out from work to give your doggy a potty break). I love animals large and small and look forward to meeting yours! I work until 3, so I can let your pup out first thing in the morning and any time after 3. My weekends and summers are pretty flexible. I (usually) do not provide pet care in my own home, but will follow directions as to what you would like me to do in yours.

Great service and care of our pets! Irina takes the time to get to know your pets (and their owners) - she is great at making our dog and cat feel comfortable

Irina took great care of our pup Ruby and our cat Cleo. They looked happy & healthy in her updates sent to us nearly every day. Would 100% book her for house sitting again!

I'm thrilled that I selected Irina to provide a couple drop-ins for my shy dog while we were away. Irina's warm approach helped my dog quickly feel comfortable around her, and the happiness evident in the photos she sent reassured me greatly. She arrived on time, took my dog on nice long walks, and ensured he had everything he needed, including food and water. The regular photo updates during each visit were a thoughtful touch, and I wholeheartedly recommend her services.

Irina was wonderful! My pets (dog and two cats) were well cared for and the house was perfect when I returned. She provided regular updates and pictures. I would highly recommend Irina and would not hesitate to use her again in the future!

My dog and cat were in great hands with Irina in charge. She has a calm competence and I was confident that she would have everything under control, which she did! I had Irina spend two nights to care for my pets. She communicated and sent photo updates, and even helped out around the house. Everything was in order and my pets were happy when I got home. I will definitely schedule her for pet sitting again.
