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.

I take care of pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable. I follow your rules and your pet’s routine. NO PHONE USE during a visit (only for updates) What you get: • Free Meet&Greet • A reliable adult who truly cares about your pet • Walks based on your dog’s age, energy, and personality • My full attention — no phone use during walks • Fresh water every visit, feeding as scheduled • Medications given if needed • Playtime and activities your dog enjoys • A calm and loving presence, so your pet feels safe and not lonely • Care that follows your instructions exactly • Regular photo and video updates • Respect for your home — I leave everything clean and in order • I can bring in mail or small packages • I check the lights so your home looks lived-in
Information Polina V. would like to know about your pet
Before the Meet and Greet Meeting I would like to know • Puppy’s name, breed, age and size • Health issues, allergy and level of energy.
A typical day
I come to your home to take your pet for 30 or 60-minute walk, refresh water, feed meals, give medications if needed, and spend time playing and bonding. Your pet gets exercise, attention, and comfort throughout the day, to keep their routine as same as possible while you are away. I walk dogs one at a time, so your dog gets my full attention. I match each walk to your dog’s age, energy, and personality. I care for senior dogs who need a gentle routine and for puppies who need exercise and training. If you need a daycare for your pet, I can host a small (only), friendly to kids dog - (playtime, regular potty breaks, 2-3 walks - depends on your pet needs.)

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.

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!
