Safety, trust & environment

When you trust me with your furry family members, rest assured they're in caring and capable hands. I prioritize their comfort and well-being by following your pet's routine closely, whether it's feeding times, play sessions, or walking routes. Communication is key; I keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can see how much fun your pet is having and how well they're doing. Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I treat them with the same love and attention I would give to my own pets. Trust me to provide personalized care that meets your pet's unique needs while you're away.

Information Swetlana M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about their daily schedule, any specific fears (like loud noises or certain environments), and any notable behaviors (such as anxiety or tendencies to be territorial). Additionally, please provide information on any medications they take or dietary restrictions they may have. The more I know, the better I can accommodate your pet and make their time with me comfortable and safe!

A typical day

A typical day with me starts with a long morning walk or outdoor adventure to get your pup energized and ready for the day- whether it's exploring a trail, visiting a dog-friendly park, or simply enjoying the neighborhood. For pups who need rest or downtime, we’ll relax at home with plenty of cuddles. In the early afternoon, there’s time for another walk or some engaging play before settling in for a cozy and calm end to the day. Before going to sleep we'll go out for a quick last stroll around the block. Throughout the day, I’ll make sure your furry friend feels loved, safe, and entertained. I’m happy to stick to their regular routine, accommodate any special needs, and provide lots of photos and updates so you can feel connected while we have fun!

Dedicated Care from Pups to Seniors

Pet care experience

From an early age, I’ve loved spending time with dogs, starting with daily walks with my grandfather and our German Shepherd. During the pandemic, I cared for Seamus, my in-law’s elderly Irish Setter, handfeeding him and administering medication until his final days. Now, I’m the adventure aunt to their new puppy, my favorite hiking buddy, and have loved training him and exploring the outdoors together. With a flexible work schedule, I can give your furry friend plenty of attention and care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or outdoor adventures, your dog will be treated like family every step of the way!

I can’t say enough great things about Lana! From the moment we connected, she was professional, kind, and clearly experienced with caring for pets. She treated my dog like her own making sure he was comfortable, well-fed, and got plenty of love and attention. I especially appreciated the regular updates, photos, and messages that gave me peace of mind while I was away. It’s not easy leaving your pet behind, but knowing he was in such caring hands made all the difference. When I came back, my dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely recommend this sitter to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely passionate about animals. I will definitely be booking again!

This was our second booking with Swetlana and everything went smoothly again. Groot was well cared for and we appreciated the updates while we were away. Would definitely book with her again.

Svetlana sent photos and texts and our pets were very well taken care of while we were away. We have two dogs with very different energy levels, routines and personalities, but she managed to juggle them both. Her communication pre dog sitting was excellent and she arrived early so she could meet our dogs and spend some time with them before we left the house. I am very happy with Svetlana as a dog sitter and we will definitely call her again. THANK YOU Svetlana

Swetlana was friendly, and gentle with Groot, she kept updating us frequently. Groot wanted to play with her even after we came back home. Will definitely call her again when we are unable to take Groot with us.
