Qualified animal expert, dog sitter

Pet care experience

Since my childhood I was always surrounded by dogs,cats( my grandfather is a dog-breeder) and even some wild animals like wolfs, foxes and falcon. Probably thats why I can bond with any kind of dog...) Myself I've had 3 dogs (shepherd, fox-terrier, and some kind of unknown pedigree). Will take care of your pet as of my own! Caring, patient and adore long walks. I will be with your pet at all times - taking attentive extra care of them as if they were my own, and give them a lot of cuddles. I am well-familiar with puppies needs and can provide a personalised care. Why I love dog sitting I was surrounded by dogs and other animals since my childhood, because my grandfather is a dog-breeder. I am really great in bonding with dogs. Treat them with respect and adore all pedigrees, consider our little fellows as a smartest creatures because they can feel your emotional mood and understand you without words...They don't judge, never let you down and will love you unconditionally! Being a dog sitter is not just a job or a hobby for me - its a part of me, my life and I can't imagine myself without fluffy friends:) I work from home so my schedule is very flexible and adjustable. I'm an early bird, love long walk and trips to the beach, very detail oriented, always making sure pet is happy, well fed and got enough exercise Always clean bows and put fresh water for pets. House maintained clean, will bring mail, water plants, keep an eye on property and take a trash out. Clean after myself when leave.

Palina has a special way with animals! We appreciated her consistent feedback and regular updates. Returned to a tidy home and a calm happy pup!

Ruby is so happy when she spends time with Palina! She is helping her grow into a confident and well-mannered girl who knows how to behave and still have fun. We feel lucky!

Palina is professional and reliable. She did two drop ins for us while we did a day trip and everything went as we discussed. She communicates promptly and effectively. We will definitely use her again :)
