Pet care experience

Your fur baby can count on me!

Hello there! My name is Irina. I genuinely love animals, especially dogs, cats & bunnies. I grew up in the household with cats and kittens. My mom and I rescued a few abandoned cats during cold winter temperatures. As a kid I used to help my grandparents taking care of their German shepherd, chickens, and goats, also got to learn how to milk a goat and watched baby goats taking their first steps. In my adult years, I’ve had experience taking care of parakeets, fish, and even a hermit crab. Raised and potty trained a puppy (beagle mix).Babysat neighbors’ dogs (pit bull and terrier mix). Today, I’m a proud owner of a bunny (5 y.o., holland lop mix) whom I raised since he was 10 weeks old. He’s potty trained and pretty intelligent, has a great personality and thinks he’s a puppy, also spoiled rotten. I like to stay active and absolutely love nature and hiking. Would love to bring your dog along on a nature walk for some fun and exercise. I can also stop by your place to make sure your pet is doing well, provide fresh water and food or administer the medication. Can also take care of small caged animals (no rats&snakes, please). I’m very responsible, reliable, and trustworthy. Would be happy to provide photo update when with your pet and answer any questions or concerns. Please let me know beforehand if there’s anything I need to be aware of about your pet before I come in (personality type, medical needs, etc). Looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby!

Irina took great care of our cat just as she always does! We will continue using her help for future vacations.

I couldn’t have asked for a better cat boarder! Irina took excellent care of my cat, making sure she was safe, happy, and well cared for throughout her stay. I especially appreciated the daily updates, messages, and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Irina genuinely cared about my pet and treated her like one of her own. I would absolutely book with Irina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter!

Irina was great! She send daily pictures and updates on my cat and gave her lots of love and attention. My cat is blind, but Irina was willing and able to care for her specific needs. A great experience for everyone!

We are so grateful we found Irina to take care of our cats while we were gone. She kept us updated as they took a little time to warm up and sent us fun pictures of them daily. The cats clearly enjoyed their time with her and one of them even cried when we got in the car to leave! We loved knowing they were in great hands. Thank you Irina!

I absolutely love nature and long walks. Would love to bring your pet along with me for a hike around the park or local nature trails or have some fun at the dog park (per owner’s permission). When it comes to cats - I’ll spoil them with love, attention, and affection.
