Pet lover and caring friend 🐱🐶
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
An angel came down to walk another angel … I was looking for a care taker to leave my pet and Iryna offered to help me out in the last minute. She took my pet on walks, he loves to stop-by yards and take a break, and she entertained him, and while doing all this, I felt that Dubu, my pet was so happy. I got great photos back from her and was able to focus on my work without worrying about Dubu. Thank you. Iryna is an awesome pet sitter and a kind hearted soul. Please give her a try and she’ll become a part of your pet’s family and lifestyle
We have an old dog who tends to be very reactive towards people so it’s always challenging to find the right pet sitter. Iryna has been God’s sent. She knew right form the beginning how to treat our dog and how to gain his confidence. Cacho loves her now. She’s also extremely communicative, sending us pictures and updates. And last but not least, she’s extremely clean and left our house absolutely spotless. We’re definitely calling her again.
Iryna was great! Very nice demeanor and look forward to working with her again
IRYNA is always amazing but this time she went absolutely above and beyond!! My puppy had a little emergency and she had to take him to the vet in the middle of the night and then nurse him back to help on the days following. Being out of town I was scared out of my mind but she was soooo good to him, so communicative with me I can't imagine if he had been with someone else. She's really really amazing with my baby Sky!!!
About Iryna H.

Skills
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.
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.

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.
