High energy- just like your dog!
Pet care experience
I actually go by my middle name which is Irina! But I will respond to either. I have been taking care of my family's dogs since I was 7, but got my own dog at 11 years old who was solely my responsibility. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, but I am willing to help out with any type of pet! I have a bachelors degree in Biology and have experience in the medical field, so special needs pets are not a problem for me. I love the outdoors and running, which is great for high energy dogs. I have my own car, so I can easily transport a pet for any emergency. I currently work full-time in Trumbull from 7-3:30pm. I am available during the early evening, and evening, as well as most weekends. I am within walking distance to a dog park and am in a great neighborhood for walking. As a runner, I am willing to walk dogs at whatever speed or distance they need.
Reviews
Sally was very kind and gentle with my little pup who is a bit skittish with strangers at first. She was very accommodating as well. I received lots of cutie pictures of my sweet boy that made my heart sing. Very appreciative of Sally!
Irena (Sally) handled my two big dogs (110lb & 60lb) wonderfully on a walk together. She is sincerely interested in the dogs and their happiness and well-being, and my dogs seemed to have enjoyed their walk a lot!
Sally is my fulltime dog walker for my 2year old Australian Shepherd Harper. Harper is an energetic one-eyed pup and Sally does a great job giving her the time, energy, and attention she needs daily while I am at work. She is attentive, caring, and very responsive. Its always nice to receive a photo from her at lunch time of Harper enjoying a nice walk or playing fetch. Knowing Harper is in the capable hands of a smart and caring dog-lover allows me to focus on my work, and Sally is just that.
Sally was so great! She took wonderful care of my pup while I was gone for a long weekend. I came back to a clean home and my girl was happy and comfortable. I would definitely recommend her and invite her to help again as well.
