Safety, trust & environment

I always follow your dog’s routine closely, including feeding, walk style, cues, and any specific instructions. On walks, I use secure equipment, stay aware of surroundings, and keep a safe distance from unfamiliar dogs when needed. Your dog’s safety always comes first.

Information Polina S. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know your dog’s routine, their favorite activities, and any special instructions. Please also tell me how they behave around other dogs and people, and whether they’re allowed to greet others on walks. This helps me make every outing safe and comfortable.

A typical day

Every dog is different, so I tailor each visit to their needs. Walks include plenty of sniffing, exploring, and movement at their pace. At home, I like to include enrichment like lick mats, puzzle toys, and calm downtime so dogs feel both mentally and physically satisfied.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Polly. I’m an experienced dog walker who genuinely enjoys getting to know each dog’s personality. I focus on calm, structured, and safe walks. I pay close attention to body language, pacing, and surroundings so your dog feels comfortable and understood. I’m especially mindful with dogs who may be nervous or need a bit more attention. You’ll always get updates and photos so you know how your dog is doing.

Polly has been wonderful with walking my dog! Very caring and follows instructions. She’s trustworthy and I would book her again! My dog warmed up to her nicely!

Polly has been a life saver for us! She's been so helpful when our schedules don't allow us the flexibility to be home with our puppy Darla. Whether it's taking her for walks, or doggy day care to hang out with her wonderful doggo Chester, Polly has been all we could ask for. 100% recommend!

Polina was excellent with Monkey and Luna. It was the first time being dog sat in someone else’s home. My youngest was very stressed the first day. Polina was honest and shared real feedback. They both settled in quickly and enjoyed their trips to the dog park with Polina, walks, quiet and family time. I received daily feedback and photos which really helped ease my mind knowing they were being well taken of. Polina’s dog is super sweet and social, my dogs enjoyed playing with him. I would very highly recommend Polina and will certainly rebook with her on my next trip.
