Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
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.
Our week at the beach was more relaxing thanks to Irina. It was great to get pics mid-week to see Mars happily racing around the yard, and Bella curled up in one of her favorite spots. Our critters hardly noticed when we returned. They were so relaxed and calm, it was like we had not been away. In contrast, when I board Mars, he’s absolutely wild when we get back. This was quite a pleasant surprise. Irina also sprayed a hornets’ nest that I had not noticed, and swept up hair that I know Mars must have shed for her. She treated my home like her own, and I really appreciate that. 10 out of 10. I will call on Irina again.

I’m a teacher, so summers, weekends, and Holidays are more flexible. I usually get to work by 7am and I am done by 3pm, but depending on your location, I can run out for a quick doggy potty break if the need be.
