Highlights
Pet care experience
Pets are treated like Family
I am a former nurse who truly loves animals. I’ve had pets my entire life, starting in childhood. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and birds — including hand-raising baby birds that fell from their nests.

Polina also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Ratings and reviews
Polina has taken excellent care of my cat, Christof, who has complex medical needs including requiring insulin injections. She is very detail oriented and provides wonderful updates complete with photos/videos every time! Highly recommend!
Polina was extremely accommodating and responsive and Rowdy had a great stay!
Polina is a dream come true! I needed a dog walker last minute and she responded to my request immediately and was able to come over the next day for a meet and greet. Oliver, our Frenchie, goes nuts when people come to the door, especially strangers. But Polina seemed to be a dog whisperer, as Oliver barked only a couple of times, and she immediately knelt down and snuggled him. He absolutely adored her! We spent 20 minutes chatting about his specific needs and habits during his walks, and I hired her on the spot to take him for his 30 minute walk. I received a video during the walk, and upon return, she talked with me about how the walk went and mutually agreed she would be our dog walker for all future walks. I can't find the words for how comforted I was knowing Oliver adored her and trusted her. She told me that this job (she does this full time - including pet sitting) is a dream come true for her as she is an avid animal lover but can't have animals where she lives. I highly recommend Polina to care for your pets. Don't hesitate...she's the real deal!!
Polina was amazing with Lola yesterday! It was pouring rain, and Lola absolutely hates going out when it’s wet, but Polina was so patient, kind, and understanding the whole time. She took the extra care to make sure Lola felt comfortable and never rushed her. I really appreciated her calm, gentle approach and the updates she shared. I’d definitely hire Polina again….highly recommend!
I’m very grateful to Polina for taking such wonderful care of my cat Romeo. She not only followed all of my instructions, but was also genuinely kind, caring, and affectionate with him. Romeo looked very happy and comfortable. I will definitely contact her again whenever I need a cat sitter.
Polina gets five stars for loving petcare! She has been a true blessing to our family and our two dogs. Polina walks our dogs regularly and cares for them while we travel. Our dogs are safe and loved by Polina. She always sends photos or videos, brings them special toys and treats, and is always careful to check with me before trying new treats with them or taking them for new adventures. She allows us the peace of mind while we travel of knowing that our fur babies are completely taken care of - what a gift! Please feel free to contact me directly for any questions or additional information for Polina. She is truly wonderful!

I offer dog walks, cat visits, small pets boarding (hamsters and birds), a daycare for small (only), friendly dogs, and full pet care during your vacation by visiting your pet 3-4 time each day for walks, feeding, and companionship.
