Peace of mind when you are away

Pet care experience

Excited to be back on Rover after focusing on spending quality time with my beloved senior dog, Ziggy, for the past year. When I travelled, I have always found it to be difficult to find a good match for my high maintenance bulldog, and so many times things have gone wrong for one reason or another. So I am here to provide your pets with care that I was looking for. Dogs are undoubtedly fun, but often we need someone mature to look after them, which often includes more than taking them for a walk and playing tag of war. We need someone reliable and safe who will be vigilant on walks, attentive to pets' behavior and knowledgable about their health. Being a cat and dog owner myself, I am able to be that person for you. I am experienced and able to provide first aid care (wound care and etc). I have always had pets growing up and cannot see my life without their presence. My most recent pets include a very high maintenance 13 year old bulldog named Ziggy, and a cat that I found in woods and nurtured back to health, Casper (who got adopted and is as happy as a cat can be). My Ziggy has recently passed away from cancer we battled for the past 10 months. Taking care of my beloved pup during his last days equipped me with invaluable senior dog care/hospice experience, so older dogs will always have a special place in my heart. Growing up, he was a very active mischievous friend, despite of being a bulldog mix, so we did enjoy our time together exploring and playing until he slowed down. Please let me know about any additional questions you may have.

Our pup really enjoyed his stay with Lana. She took him a long walks and provided lots of cuddles. She also gave us a good recommendation for a new food for our fussy eater! He loves it. Thank you so much and would definitely use Lana again.

Zoe is a very anxious and scared rescue pup, but Svetlana put her at ease. I got pictures of Zoe relaxing and looking very happy at her place. Svetlana is very patient and gentle with her and I could tell Zoe was comfortable with her. I'll happily book with Svetlana again!

I can’t say enough AMAZING things about Svetlana! I felt completely comfortable having my baby in her capable care while I was gone and it allowed me to enjoy my vacation without stress, knowing that he was on a vacation of his own. I got such cute and funny updates for her and when I picked him back up, he seemed totally normal and happy which hasn’t always been the case after I’ve left him. I recommend Svetlana so highly!

Svetlana looked after the dogs very well. The house was just as clean when we got back as when we left! Win win
