Pet care experience

Your dog’s home away from home.

I have been an animal lover since childhood and truly believe that pets are our 'younger brothers' who deserve nothing but respect and affection. For the past 5 years, I’ve been a dedicated dog owner myself, which taught me the nuances of daily care and intuition. Beyond my personal life, I have 3 years of professional experience as a Rover sitter under a previous account. I don’t just 'watch' dogs; I welcome them into my home as family members, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and respected every second you are away.

Vadzim was fantastic with my pup, Sage. He came through when I needed a last-minute sitter and was very prompt with his communications. He sent LOTS of photos during Sage's stay, reassuring me that Sage was in very good hands. Thank you again, Vadzim!

Vadzim took wonderful care of our 11 yo LuLu, Wire Hair Terrier! He sent fun photos/videos of what a great pet parent would do on a daily basis. Thank you, Vadzim! Have a great summer! Ballard Residents 🙋🏻‍♀️

Vadzim was recommended to us by another sitter that we use and he was amazing. He is very on top of sending photos and updates which make me feel more at ease. My one dog takes medication and the other is on a strict low-fat diet and neither had any problems with their needs while we were gone, thanks to Vadzim!

Vadzim was great with my sweet girl Lucy. He sent lots of photos, and was very communicative. My pup is very clingy and requires lots of cuddles and I feel very confident that she got that while I was away. Would highly recommend!

Schedule

I work a flexible hybrid schedule, splitting my time between the office and home. My typical workday starts early at 6:00 AM and ends by 2:30 PM, though I often finish a couple of hours earlier. This early schedule is perfect for pet care because it means I am home for the majority of the day. On days I work from home, we are together 24/7. On office days, the pets are only alone for a short period before I return to dedicate my afternoon to them. Our typical walking routine includes: Morning: A refreshing early walk to kickstart the day. Mid-afternoon: A long, high-energy walk right after I finish work. Evening: A medium-length stroll before bedtime to ensure everyone is relaxed and ready for sleep. On weekends, we love to go on adventures! We frequently visit local parks to enjoy the fresh air and give the dogs plenty of space to explore. Your pet will fit right into our active and attentive daily rhythm.

Safety, trust & environment

Creating a secure and stress-free environment is my top priority. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them, I ensure they feel like a true member of the family. A Comfortable Home Environment: Choice of Sleeping: Every guest has a dedicated "safe place" to retreat to, but I believe in total comfort. Pets are more than welcome to snuggle up in bed with me if that’s where they feel most secure and happy! Personal Space: To prevent any stress during mealtimes, each pet has their own designated station for food and fresh water. Play & Mental Stimulation: I dedicate one-on-one time to every pet for interactive play and engagement. We have a huge variety of toys to keep them entertained! Treats & Care: I love spoiling my guests with tasty treats, though I am very strict about checking for allergies or specific dietary instructions from owners first. Safety & Peace of Mind: Because I have a small, cat-friendly dog of my own, my home is already set up to be a pet-safe zone. I am very attentive to body language and ensure that all interactions between animals are supervised and positive. You can expect regular photo updates and messages so you can see exactly how much fun your pet is having!
