Safety, trust & environment

I remain fully engaged during visits and walks and observe your pet's behavior for any changes. While in the backyard, I actively interact with the dogs by playing ball, engaging in tug-of-war, offering head scratches, and practicing commands. With cats, I focus on engaging them through play with their toys or a laser pointer inside the house, and offer treats if aproved by you and/or gentle petting. Please provide any insights about your pet's behavior that could help me ensure their visits are safe and enjoyable.

Information Irina K. would like to know about your pet

I provide services for dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes, from the smallest Chihuahua to the tall Irish Wolfhound, as long as they are comfortable with my care. Please inform me if your pet exhibits behaviors such as chewing, digging, or attempting to escape, so I can closely monitor your fur baby and take proactive measures to prevent such actions.

A typical day

I believe that mental stimulation is equally important as physical exercise for dogs. During breaks from activities like fetching or tug-of-war in your backyard, or when we encounter picturesque backgrounds on our walks, I often ask the dogs to follow a command or two. I also prioritize slowing down to allow them to explore their environment, including sniffing bushes, poles, or interesting spots on the sidewalk. With younger pups, I enjoy practicing any specific skills you are working on with them, so please let me know how I can assist!

Irena is a 5- gold star pet sitter. I highly recommend her. She really cares about animals and goes above and beyond her job. My two boxer dogs absolutely adore her. She leaves a detailed report card and lots of pictures. She is super responsible and knowledgeable. She knows about short faced dogs and how they need to cool off when they start to pant a lot and need to cool down.
