Pet care experience
My name is Iryna, and I am from Ukraine. I've recently embarked on my journey in America, prompted by the war in my home country. This situation made me realize that there might not be a better time to pursue my passion. I've been caring for dogs and animals since the age of 7. My parents allowed me to adopt my first dog on the condition that I would take full responsibility for him, and that's exactly what I did. As I went to school, I simultaneously learned to read, write, and care for these four-legged companions. My family instilled in me the belief that dogs and cats are integral members of the family and deserve thoughtful care. Throughout my life, I've been surrounded by animals, and their presence in my daily activities is therapeutic, meditative, and soulful for me. I've discovered my love for animals, having followed a vegan lifestyle for seven years. I aspire to be surrounded by these beautiful creatures and offer them the love they truly deserve.

Reviews
Iryna is the very best there is.
Iryna is very special. I can't think of a single thing to improve.
Iryna is the most wonderful and loving dog sitter I’ve ever worked with! She truly cares about our furry children as much as we do and they can feel that. Gibson adores her and gets really excited to see her while I’m away. It’s so comforting to get smiley pictures while you’re traveling!
Iryna is a great dog sitter! She is warm and caring loves dogs and Leeloo warmed up to her immediately. She has experience with puppies which is a huge plus for me. She took pictures and kept a close eye on a very rambunctious pup! She kept Leeloo entertained and out of trouble. Highly recommend Iryna!

Safety, trust & environment
I provide care for animals in the pet owner's home, where the animal feels at ease and in its own territory. It's crucial not to impose stress on our four-legged friends. As a dedicated pet sitter, I recognize the significance of ensuring that pets feel loved, comfortable, and secure in your absence.
Home
Information Iryna H. would like to know about your pet
My parents had a Shih Tzu dog, so I'm experienced in caring for dogs with long hair and know how to give them a proper bath. I also had a mastiff, which has equipped me with the skills to handle larger breeds. I always strive to go above and beyond—it's my way of expressing gratitude for entrusting me with your pet. I don't have any pets of my own right now. But I'd be happy to take care of yours.
A typical day
I'm a very active person and I like to walk a lot, so I became a pet sitter. I've recently begun exploring America, finding everything both interesting and informative. Exploring new neighborhoods and narrow streets is particularly captivating. Dogs serve as the best tour guides.

Availability
Currently, I don't have my own pets, but when I take care of someone's furry friend, my routine is as follows: Every morning begins with an active walk or exercise. If I'm with a dog, I take them for a morning stroll to experience the scents of the sleeping city. My standard walk lasts about an hour. After this active start, I proceed to breakfast, starting with feeding the dog/cat and then preparing coffee for myself. Currently, without a full-time job, I find myself spending a significant amount of time at home, which benefits the animals as they aren't left alone for extended periods.
