Pet care experience

Cat snuggle corner: play & purr

I share a special relationship with all types of cats; some might say I have a “cat vibe”: I value privacy and calmness, love snuggles, and appreciate treats on demand. I'm also fond of engaging cats in running or hunting games, observing how their curiosity and hunting instincts awaken. Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion for me. My first pet, a majestic black cat named Shrek, came into my life when I was 8 years old. Growing up, my parents taught me to treat pets as family members, emphasizing not only playtime but also the pet care responsibilities – cleaning the litter box, keeping up with feeding schedules, and ensuring regular vet visits. Before university, I spent much of my time on my grandparents' farm, where I cared for dogs, cows, and other livestock. These experiences helped me connect with animals on a deeper level and better understand what they need. Over time, I had the chance to care for other people’s pets, spend time volunteering at animal shelters, and foster cats until they found their forever homes. I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so I’m happy to offer a calm, safe, and stress-free environment for yours! I take only one client at a time, which is perfect for low-key pets who prefer not to be around other animals and can enjoy all the attention they deserve.

Polina is always such a great host! She has looked after our cat twice now, and we couldn’t be happier with the effort she puts into making sure he is well looked after and comfortable. We will certainly be reaching out to Polina again when we need a sitter for our fluffy boy. Thanks Polina!

Polina is absolutely amazing. We've had her sit for us multiple times and feel confident that our Very spoiled cat is in wonderful hands.

I've had Polina check in on my cats while I was away multiple times now and am always very happy with her services. She gives my cats lots of attention & is thorough with all their needs. I really appreciate Polina & would not hesitate to hire her again!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a spacious and cozy 1-bedroom apartment with plenty of room for play and cozy corners for relaxing. Whether I care for pets at my place or provide services at theirs, I make sure to stick to their usual routine to maintain stability and consistency.

We may have fun playing cat games together or enjoy a good movie while chilling on the sofa. We may soak up the sun outside and cuddle indoors.

It's helpful to know your pet's typical routine in advance. How many times do they typically get fed, and do you add any supplements to their diet? Are they litter box/crate trained? How often do they need to be walked?
