Reviews
Luba took great care of our puppy! She’s super knowledgeable about dogs and made sure Murphy had a fun and safe day playing and socializing with her dogs.
Luba is hands down the best sitter I've ever trusted to take care of Nutella! I placed Nutella in her care for a week when my partner and I went on a trip, and she not only sent MANY updates and photos every single day, but also went above and beyond in sharing recommendations for toys/treats and kept us in the loop about Nutella's health, stool and mood while in her care. She even washed Nutella's blanket on her pickup day and made porridge for her when her stool was runny. Nutella came home with an amazing goodie bag of toys and treats. I cannot recommend Luba enough and will continue to book with her for future stays. THANK YOU LUBA!
My Chow Chow Milo has a serious case of stranger danger. He doesn't like anyone, but he likes Luba! I am fortunate to have found her! I like her too, she is reliable and always on time. She works with my schedule which can be chaotic and long days. Her laid back personality puts Milo at ease and he loves going for walks with her; he is actually glad to see her and excited to go. I feel so much better having someone I can trust to care for Milo.
Choosing Luba was seriously the best decision ever. She showered Rufus with love and attention, keeping us updated with so many awesome photos and videos. Her attention to detail and genuine care made me feel at ease. We returned to a happy pup (and extremely tired from playing with Falkor lol). Will most definitely be bringing Rufus back to hangout with his friends!

Safety, trust & environment
Luba prioritizes the safety of every dog under her care by implementing thoughtful measures in her environment. Her spacious home includes a large fenced yard with artificial turf, providing a secure space for dogs to freely run and play. While indoor when NOT under direct supervision, dogs are housed in secure crates, a precautionary step taken to ensure their safety. Luba recognizes that, despite their intelligence, dogs are very curious and not always adept decision-makers and need vigilant oversight for their own well-being. When venturing into public spaces, dogs are always kept on a leash to eliminate concerns, especially for skittish dogs or those with unreliable recall. This practice ensures a controlled and secure environment, minimizing any risks associated with off-leash activities. Within her home, Luba goes the extra mile to create a pet-safe haven. Every corner is meticulously designed to eliminate potential hazards, including keeping harmful items and plants out of reach. This meticulous attention to detail reflects Luba's commitment to providing a secure and nurturing environment where every dog feels protected and cherished.

A typical day
Luba's days as a dog sitter are anything but ordinary. Each morning kicks off with the essentials: potty breaks and breakfast for her furry guests, setting the stage for a day filled with fun and furry adventures. While Luba attends to her daily tasks, whether it's desk work, gardening, or running errands, her four-legged companions are always part of the action, joining in on the fun whenever possible. Back at home, the excitement continues with playful antics before dinner and snuggle time. But in this line of work, no two days are alike. Evening adventures or tending to a sick pup may shake things up, but Luba and her pack are always ready to adapt, blending professionalism with a relaxed, fun-loving attitude.
