24/7 supervision, love & full care
Pet care experience
At one point I had 6 pets living in my house (all rescues) until they fully passed one by one… I help to bring pets from Ukraine to give them a better life here. I feed stray cats.
Reviews
Irina was absolutely fantastic with our two Ridgbacks! We think they may have had a better Spring Break than we did :) We appreciated all of the photos and daily updates so much. We wouldn't hesitate one bit to book her again in the future :)
Irina gave Pico extra loving care when he needed it. Thank you, Irina.
She did a great job taking care of my puppy! Made sure he went on walks and got to socialize with other puppies.
Pico clearly had a great time, judging by the tired factor.

Safety, trust & environment
🏡I have a fenced yard but also a dog park right next to me. I also have a large and a small dog bed, some bowls, slow- feeder bowl, a ball thrower, toys, potty bags and treats. The house is quiet and safe with no kids. It’s just my husband, me, and we are at the house a lot! 🛋️Most of the house items are old and I am not too worried if something gets destroyed. Dogs are allowed on couches, beds, chairs, etc. The house is clean and organized. ❣️I do have a separate and empty room (most days, unless we have guests), which can serve as a safe space for dogs that do not want to socialize or need a bit more privacy.

Information Irina R. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has special needs. We have a separate room where I can keep your dog, if they are too shy and don’t want to be touched very much. We can set separate food bowls there, if needed. I had a blind dog before so know what it takes to care for special needs pets. Again, I am a big animal lover and save animals from Ukraine, often with special needs or the ones that otherwise would not find a home in Ukraine.
A typical day
My husband and I work from home so your pet will get lots of supervision and love (we, of course still live our lives and go to a movie sometimes or a hike, but if we pet sit someone, we either take the dog with us or make sure to come back quickly. When we pet sit, one of us will ALWAYS be, of course, spending the night at the house). We have a dog park right next to our house and I will be taking your dog there every day, most days twice a day. If your dog is not good with other dogs or people, I can take them around the Wonderland lake area. I love to play fetch with dogs that love it. I sit at the house a lot, so have lots of energy when I go outside!

IG:@petboarding_and_daycare My husband and I work from home. I wake up early and would take your pup on a morning walk/dog park every morning. We work until 5pm every day and can take your pup for a second walk/dog park after 5. The Foothills dog park and the wonderland lake is very close to my house. Because we work from home, we are at the house most of the time during the day, but we do go out sometimes to a movie/dinner during the week day or a short hike on the weekend. But, if your dog has a separation anxiety, definitely let me know and I will make sure one of us is always at home with them. While we pet sit, one of us will ALWAYS spend the night at home. 📝I provide daily logs on what we have done for the day (for boarding services only) and send it to you at the end of the day so you know exactly what happened throughout the day. I can provide the following services (if that’s your pups regular routine and he/she will let me do it). Please talk to me about your dogs routine ahead of time. 💇 hair grooming 🪥teeth brushes 💅nail trimming 🏊♀️can take your dog for a lake swim (at least once during a 7 day stay). This service will replace the daily walk. 📝daily logs about how the day went/diary for your pet sent to you via a pdf file to your phone or email 🦮two walks/day throughout the week (weekend: at least one walk/day) 🥜 I provide them with treats and snacks from time to time. Please let me know ahead of time if your dog cannot have peanut butter or has other allergies. 🐾 I generally don’t take more than 2 dogs at a time (there could be some rare exceptions), and that’s because I want to be able to manage the situation at all times. I will try my best to ensure the dogs will be a good fit for each other, but if their parents didn’t disclose all the information about their dogs behavior in their dogs profile, then sometimes certain behaviors could come up unexpectedly, or the dogs that I happen to watch together just don’t like each other for no reason. Hopefully, this will not happen, but to be on a safe side, my recommendation would be to always have a second back up plan. I also offer care for a single dog care, but at $80/night rate (puppy and holiday rates are higher, so please reach out). For this kind of care, please contact me as early as possible so that I can ensure I block my availability for everybody else.
