I own a sweet senior German shepherd I’ve had since a puppy. I love to bring my dog with me for car rides doing errands or beautiful walks in the mountains. I take care his needs as he is getting older and always stay attentive to any changes in his behavior as I would do for any pet I’m watching no matter the age or breed.

Safety, trust & environment

I always keep a close eye for body language of how they’re doing each day and stay alert to watch for any changes. I do like to always keep the owner informed in any changes that could be a sign of an issue and if there’s anything I can do to help if they are out of town. I have also dealt with dog altercations and handling them quickly but safely for everyone.

Information Svetlana B. would like to know about your pet

I have dealt with many different breeds, ages and sizes of dogs and cats. I have dealt with animals who special care or medical needs. I prefer not do anything with needles since I’ve never done it before and don’t want to make a mistake. If your dog or cat has certain triggers let me so I can make sure they aren’t exposed to a stressful situation.

A typical day

I love to give animals a sense of safety and comfort when their owners are gone. I keep them busy with activities and walks. Sometimes relaxing watching a cute show or reading a book with them.

Animals bring peace and love

Pet care experience

I’ve been around animals since I was 5. They’ve always given me peace and happiness. I always enjoy helping them thrive and giving their owners peace of mind knowing they’re in a great hands. Animals have always given a sense of peace and happiness when you’re having a good or bad day from the chaotic world. I have worked with Olympic and Grand Prix horses.

Svetlana is always reliable. Our 3 pups love her so much!! We have no concerns when we need to leave our babies in her care.

Thank you! Great job- Stella was happy the whole time. Svetlana is a caring house/pet sitter who took care of our dog. Was able to get our dog to take her medication with no problems. Would definitely book with her again.

Svetlana was great with our 3 pugs. She sent pics and video while we were out, which really put us at ease since this was our first time working with her. She stayed at our home to watch our babies and she left the house just as it was when she arrived. During the meet and greet, all 3 dogs went straight to Svetlana without hesitation. One of our pugs is more skittish around strangers, so this was a great sign to start. They all seemed to love her right away, and still seemed to when we returned from our vacation. She even brought in and secured some packages that we forgot were arriving during our vacation. We'll definitely be working with Svetlana again in the near future.
