Palina and her pup were very good with Luna. They exercised every day and Luna was give lots of love and affection. Pictures and videos were sent every day.

Returning customer and once again had a great experience! Thank you for taking such good care of Luna. It’s a huge relief knowing she’s in good hands and well cared for while I’m away. Highly recommend!

This is my third time using Palina to care for Luna, and once again she did an amazing job. It’s such a relief knowing Luna is in good hands whenever I’m away. Palina is dependable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs she watches. Luna always comes home happy, well cared for, and comfortable, which gives me complete peace of mind. I truly appreciate the attention and care she provides every time. I highly recommend Palina to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

Palina was great with my puppy Luna. She kept me updated the whole time with messages and pictures which I really appreciated. She also has a puppy named Presley that Luna got along with really well and they played together the entire time. You can tell she’s very attentive and actually cares about the dogs she watches. Luna was well taken care of and comfortable there. Definitely would book with her again.

Schedule

I am active and love walks and playing with animals. What better way to spend my day than with things that make me happy. To me pets are not a hassle just an extra companion that always provides a smile.

Safety, trust & environment

I think exercise varies between the type of dog someone has, and making sure a pet is not over worked is very important. I take heat into consideration and how hot the ground is to walk on grass or the sidewalk. I know that it is safer to be cautious than sorry. Not all animals are friendly to others so I always take that into consideration when walking a dog. Dog “cages” or pens can be a safe space for a dog, and safe spaces should not be messed with. I am always respectful of other people’s homes or places of residence, and am there to do my job, make the dog happy, and leave.

Pets

A typical day

I love to take dogs on walks, throw a ball for them to chase, I will play a very light tug-o-war if allowed. I cannot run currently due to an old knee surgery but I am available for long walks.
