Reliable Dog Sitting You Can Count

I’ve cared for animals my whole life and live with my 16- year-old dog, so I’m especially comfortable with senior pets and sensitive personalities. I work well with dogs of all sizes and temperaments- from shy or anxious companions to energetic explorers. I adjust my approach to each dog: slow and gentle for seniors, patient for nervous pets, and active and engaging for high-energy dogs. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe, understood, and relaxed while you’re away. I can help with: • relaxed or active walks (depending on your dog’s needs) • potty breaks & drop-ins • medication if needed • calm companionship I treat every pet as my own and never rush interactions.

Maryna took excellent care of our dog for two weeks. She sent daily updates with photos, so we always knew our dog was safe, happy, and on schedule with meals and walks. She was reliable, attentive, and treated our dog like her own. We came home to a happy, well cared for pet and would book her again without hesitation. Highly recommend Maryna to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits in the mornings and evenings on weekdays, and I’m flexible on weekends and holidays. When scheduling allows, I can also accommodate quick daytime potty breaks or check-ins for nearby pets.

Safety, trust & environment

I always prioritize safety, comfort, and calm care. I closely follow each pet’s routine and needs, pay attention to their behavior, and never rush interactions. I’m especially attentive with senior pets, making sure they feel secure, supported, and stress-free at all times.

A typical day

A typical visit is always tailored to the pet’s age, energy level, and personality. For senior pets, this may mean slow, gentle walks, potty breaks, medication, and lots of calm companionship. For younger or more active pets, we’ll enjoy playtime and mental stimulation. Cats receive patient care, feeding, litter box cleaning, and quiet attention at their pace.

Please let me know about your pet’s routine, personality, medical needs, mobility, and any changes in behavior. I especially appreciate details for senior pets, including vision, hearing, or comfort preferences. The more I know, the better care I can provide.
