Multi-Pet, Senior, Anxious Care|WFH
🐾 Finding the right person to care for your fur baby is a big decision, therefore my goal is to make this choice easy and stress-free for you. I provide safe, attentive, and genuinely loving care tailored to your dog's unique personality and routine. Because I work from home, your dog is never left alone for long periods of time and benefits from a calm, consistent environment. I focus not just on physical care, but on creating a relaxed, happy state of mind so your dog feels secure while you're away. You will always stay connected. I send regular updates with photos and videos throughout the day, so you know exactly how your dog is doing at all times. I am also insured and bonded through PCI, giving you an added layer of peace of mind. About Me Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and take seriously. Over the years, I have built long-term relationships with pet families by consistently prioritizing safety, comfort, and trust. I am highly organized, respectful of your home and routines, and I follow your instructions closely so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. My promise is simple: your dog will feel safe, genuinely cared for, and loved in a way that closely reflects how you care for them yourself. What your dog and you get: 🏃 3–4 daily walks, interactive play, and cuddles in between 🏠 Boarding: a calm, dog-proofed home with a private fenced yard for safe off-leash play 🛋 House sitting: overnight stays with your dog's routine kept fully intact — plus plants, mail, and a tidy home when you return 📸 Photo and video updates throughout the day, every day 🍖 Quality treats (with your approval) and little extras like paw cleaning and brushing And a little bonus: my husband is also working from home and loves to help, so your pup usually gets double the attention and belly rubs. Before booking, let's set up a quick meet-and-greet (in person or virtual) so your dog can meet me and I can learn their routine and needs in detail to make sure it's a great fit. 💌 Questions? Message me anytime! I typically reply within 15 minutes.

Ratings and reviews
Maryna and Dima did a phenomenal job with our two pups, Honey and Bruno! My husband and I went out of town for 3 days, and they stayed at our house, taking amazing care of both the dogs and keeping our home incredibly tidy. Our pups are very high-energy and crazy, so we were naturally a bit anxious about leaving them. However, they sent constant pictures and updates that completely put our minds at ease. They kept them so well-exercised that they were happy and tired each day - honestly, they were even a little bit better behaved when we got back than when we left them! Maryna and Dima are overall just so sweet and wonderful to work with. We highly recommend them!
Maryna was fantastic to have as my sitter! She was very accommodating & communicative. My pets instantly felt at home with her. Very good about sending photos as well, I highly recommend.
Maryna and her husband were absolutely wonderful! This was our first time using Rover in our new city and home, and they went above and beyond to make us feel completely comfortable. We came home to a spotless house and a very happy dog. Communication was proactive and thorough, and we loved receiving all the pictures and updates each day. We’re so grateful to have found them and would absolutely love to have them care for our pup again. Highly recommend!
Maryna took such wonderful care of our sweet boy while we were out of town. She even took him on some hike adventures to get out his Aussie doodle energy and comforted him when he was scared from a thunderstorm. Before accepting the job she asked really excellent questions to make sure that she would be the right person to care for him, we really appreciate the level of consideration given to ensuring that he would be properly cared for. We will definitely be rebooking with Maryna in the future. Thank you!!!
Maryna was excellent with our pets and home. Lots of dog walk and cat playtime . Will definitely book her again !
Maryna and her husband did a great job house sitting and looking after my Puggle, Lola. I was provided regular updates and photos. Best part, I came home to a very clean house. I highly recommend Maryna and he husband and will use them again for future pet sitting needs.

Schedule
I work from home as well as my husband, so we always happy to do an extra potty break, offer a lap to sit on, or some belly rubs.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In your home (house sitting): With your instructions, I follow your pets' normal routine in the environment they already know, and I care for your home with the same attention I give them. You come back to calm pets and a clean, secure house. For cats: Litter boxes stay clean, hiding spots are respected, and I never force interaction: shy cats come to me in their own time. If yours needs medication, an inhaler, or subcutaneous fluids, that's familiar territory. In my home (boarding): Your dog stays in a calm, dog-proofed space with access to a fenced play area and hiking trails. Dogs are supervised at all times and always leashed on walks — no exceptions. I follow your feeding, medication, and care instructions exactly as written. Because I have no pets of my own, there's nothing for your dog to compete with or react to. Comfort I keep everything on hand for a comfortable stay: extra bowls, a spare leash, towels, and grooming supplies. Your pet is welcome on all the furniture except my bed.

I'll call you before any non-urgent decision and will stay aligned with you on any next steps.
A typical day
Morning Potty break and breakfast on your pets' own schedule, with medications if needed. Then the first real walk: usually 30–45 minutes around the neighborhood or on the trails. Cats get fresh food and water, clean litter, and whatever morning attention they're in the mood for. Midday My husband and I both work from home, so there's no long stretch alone. Another potty break, play: tug, fetch, or puzzle toys for pets who'd rather think than run — and quiet company in between. Afternoon Second walk, litter check, and your photo and video update goes out. Evening Dinner on schedule, evening walk, then wind-down: brushing, a chew, lap time for the cat, and calm company. Last potty break before bed, lights out at their usual bedtime. In households with both dogs and cats, each gets their own rhythm: walks and play for the dog, quiet time and lap time for the cat, without anyone being crowded. Everything flexes to your pets, not the other way around. Seniors and anxious pets get a gentler version: shorter, more frequent walks and more rest. Puppies get more frequent potty breaks and shorter sessions. Approved treats and small extras: light grooming, paw cleaning, cleanup as needed.

- To provide the best care, I like to know your pets' daily routine and feeding schedule, any medications or health conditions, behavior around other animals and new people, house rules, and anything that helps them feel comfortable — favorite toys, commands, sleeping preferences. For dogs: leash habits, recall, and how they do on walks. For cats: where the litter boxes are, hiding spots, whether they're indoor-only, and how they usually react to someone new in the house. The more I know, the more seamless the experience is — this is exactly what we'll cover in our meet-and-greet.
