Pet care experience

I love and care for all animals!

Hi, I'm Polina! I'm a 17-year-old student at FIU with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals. At home, I’ve helped raise and care for a cockatoo, two bearded dragons, a possum, a pigeon, and several hamsters. These experiences taught me how to understand and meet the unique needs of different species. I also volunteered at an animal rescue refuge in Costa Rica, where I was responsible for cleaning enclosures, feeding, and caring for various exotic animals. This experience deepened my love for animals and strengthened my skills in responsible, compassionate care. Whether it's a puppy, senior pet, or something a little more unusual, I’m confident in my ability to provide safe, loving attention to every animal I meet. (For better rates, text me via messages)

House Sitting • Jun 15, 2026

Polina was a wonderful sitter for my two gals. She was quickly responsive with communicating, clean, and followed directions perfectly- on top of that she has a very kind and sweet personality. I highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment but all doors are open for free roam. I take dogs out on walks and have them run errands with me sometimes so they are not at home while I’m gone.

A typical day

Each day includes feeding, fresh water, playtime, and lots of love. For dogs, I enjoy walks, jogs, and playing fetch. Cats get playtime, brushing, and cuddles if they want them. I also make sure exotic pets and small animals have clean habitats and gentle interaction. I always adjust activities based on each pet’s age, energy, and personality!

Before caring for your pet, I like to know any important details—like their daily routine, favorite activities, medical needs, allergies, behavior around other animals, and anything else that helps me give them the best care possible. The more I know, the happier and more comfortable your pet will be!
