Highlights
Pet care experience
Work f/home,flexible, love outdoors
I have spent al my childhood and teenage years at my grandparents farm house full of chickens, pigs, cows, geese, cats and dogs helping my grandparents. College, a baby and an apartment we lived in for several years did not allow me to have an opportunity to be a pet owner as well as a pet sitter, however, now as I own a house near a park and have flexibility working online, I am happy to help families who need to travel, spend a few days out of the house or need just a few quiet hours and space with watching their pets. I have my whole heart, time and space to make sure your pets are safe and happy while you are away. Lots of walks and balls throws are guaranteed. I am very good with those dogs who are picky with food and find my ways to finally encourage them to eat as well as provide those who are too much food motivated with a good exercise before they receive a treat. I live very close to the airport which makes a drop off and pick up very convenient.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Polina is an amazing caregiver who clearly loves dogs and is incredibly knowledgeable, confident, and comfortable working with them. We have two corgis who are very high-energy, and while we've had several dog sitters over the years, not everyone is able to manage them with the same ease and confidence. Polina was exceptional from the start. She knew exactly how to keep them engaged, exercised, and on their normal routine while still giving them plenty of love and attention. What impressed us most was how quickly she connected with our dogs, especially our shy corgi, who is notoriously selective about people and often takes a very long time to warm up. Within just a couple of days, he was laying next to her, following her around, and even wanting to sleep near her. That is incredibly rare for him, even with people he has known for years, and it gave us so much confidence that he felt safe and comfortable in her care. We were away for four days and three nights, and when we picked the dogs up, it was obvious they had been well cared for. They were happy, relaxed, appropriately exercised, and transitioned right back into their normal routine when they got home. Any dog owner knows that isn't always the case after boarding or pet sitting. Beyond being wonderful with the dogs, Polina was kind, communicative, and professional throughout the entire experience. She asked thoughtful questions, provided great updates, and clearly takes the safety and well-being of the dogs she cares for very seriously. You can tell she genuinely cares and wants to do an excellent job. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation. Our dogs adored her, and so did we.
Polina was great with our dogs! This is the second time she took care of my dog Charley and the first time for my dog Millie! Millie is the slightly more challenging one and I am so happy with how well Polina took care of her! She regularly sent updates, pictures and videos and we really appreciated that since we were gone for more than 2 weeks! I will continue to call upon Polina for her help as she is reliable and trustworthy when it comes to our dogs
Polina was very friendly and responsive. She was very flexible with me when I had to drop off Gus early.
Polina was absolutely amazing with our almost 5-month-old puppy, Sadie! She stayed with her for a full week and took such great care of both our dog and our home. She was incredibly attentive, kept us updated with frequent messages and lots of pictures, and made it so easy for us to relax while we were away. It was clear Sadie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring dog sitter—we would definitely book with her again!
I would 100% recommend Polina to care for your fur babies. You can tell she truly loves animals. I never had any concerns while we were away. Polina sent us updates and a few pictures to let us know how things were going which was greatly appreciated. She is a true delight an amazing sitter.
Polina took excellent care of our dog, Charley!! She sent regular updates, photos and texts about him throughout our trip! He got a bit sick during the stay too and Polina let us know promptly and even took measures to make sure he was doing okay! Highly recommend her services and will definitely be doing future stays with her.

Schedule
I am working online with totally flexible hours. Can walk with your pet as much as needed as well as spend an evening outside as we take our evening walk out in a greenway. I can also help to pick up your furry friend from home and drop them back if needed.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a house with a fenced back deck and will follow instructions you would provide me with to make sure your pet receives all time and attention he needs. I’ll enjoy playing and running and as much hugs as your pet will allow me to do
A typical day
Three walks around the greenway in the community park, visit to the dog park which is a minute walk from my house to throw some ball. I have lots of toys and a daughter who naturally helps to engage your pet in a game
