Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, leash preferences, and home guidelines. I make sure pets are always supervised, walked safely, and kept comfortable in their familiar environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, keep everything clean and secure, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I’m attentive, calm, and proactive, and I always prioritize the pet’s well-being and safety.

Information Vasil S. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, it’s important for me to understand their daily routine, personality, and any specific needs. I always ask about feeding schedules, walking habits, favorite activities, and how the pet typically behaves at home and on walks. Knowing what helps a pet feel calm and comfortable allows me to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I also like to know about any medical needs, medications, allergies, or sensitivities, as well as how the pet reacts to other animals, people, or new environments. For dogs, leash behavior and any known triggers are especially important for safe walks. For cats, I appreciate knowing their preferences for interaction and play. Finally, clear instructions about the home, emergency contacts, and the pet parent’s preferred communication style help everything run smoothly. Having this information ahead of time allows me to provide attentive, safe, and personalized care while giving pet parents complete peace of mind.

A typical day

I tailor activities to each pet’s personality, age, and energy level. For dogs, this can include engaging walks, gentle play, interactive games, and relaxed exploration of the neighborhood. I enjoy incorporating light training reinforcement, puzzle toys, or games that encourage focus and confidence, always keeping things positive and stress-free. For cats and lower-energy pets, I focus on interactive play, companionship, and creating a calm environment where they feel safe and entertained. Whether it’s playtime, cuddling, or simply being a reassuring presence, my goal is to make sure every pet feels happy, cared for, and at ease while their owner is away.

Pet care experience

I have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve regularly helped friends, neighbors, and families by providing dog walking, feeding, playtime, bathing, and overnight care. I’m comfortable following specific routines and instructions, whether that means structured walks, medication reminders, or extra attention for senior dogs. I always focus on keeping pets calm, safe, and happy while their owners are away, and I treat every animal as if it were my own.

Vasil was AMAZING with my dog Teddy. My dog was very comfortable, and was super happy to stay with him. He also is super accommodating to pick ups/leaves. Teddy has separation anxiety and also did super well with him! highly recommend!

We had a lovely experience working with Vasil. He stayed in our home for the weekend to look after our 2 yorkies and gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were that they were being well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Vasil and hope to work with him again in the future :)

Vasil was an incredible sitter for Charlie. I threw a few curveballs at him with a plumbing issue, among other things, and Vasil handled my dog and my apartment with the utmost care and respect. He was communicative and made sure my anxious senior dog with very specific routines was set up for success while I was away. Would absolutely book again, and would recommend Vasil to anyone.

Vasil was great! I booked super last minute and he was able to make it over to our place on very short notice and help with our dog! Our dog is 85 lbs and Vasil was very calm even though our boy is quite strong and not the best on the leash. If you have a big dog, definitely recommend Vasil, he’s VERY TALL!!! Definitely helps!
