Loving care for your pet

I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was a child. I had a dog since I was 7 years old and a cat through my childhood. My family currently has a dog and 3 cats and we weekly volunteer with my daughter at Berkeley Humane. I'd love to take care of your pets and make sure they are comfortable while you are away.

I'm happy to follow your directions and provide care, attention and love to your pets while you are away. Just let me know what you need - and I'd be happy to accommodate! Also, I just completed First Aid/CPR class hosted by Berkeley Humane (Oct 2024) and have a certificate.

Irina took great care of our large dog and our home while she was dogsitting for us. We had good communication throughout the reservation process, pre-visit, and dogsitting duration and are grateful that Tilly was so well cared for. Thank you, Irina!

I arrived home to a 'happy, healthy, and well kept after' Lucy Belly thanks to Irina...AND a clean, well-kept home after a two week trip. Means the world! Irina responds quickly in her communication and was patient with my helicopter mom-ing of Lucy. I'd love to hire her again and am grateful I found her!

Irina is wonderful. Very reliable and professional. My dog adores Irina and I can tell feels really cared for with her. I can tell how good he feels with her with how he runs to her side when she arrives and how it takes him a moment to realize I’ve come home (because he is cuddled up with Irina instead of watching the door). I feel completely at ease and confident when he’s in her care.

Irina took great care of our cats while we were away, and I especially appreciated all the great daily updates and photos.

I'd like to know how to make your pet comfortable in your absence. What do they like, what is their usual routine, what they don't like, should I be aware of anything out of the ordinary.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
