Pet care experience
Animal lover and sitter
Hello! My name is Vika, I am an animal lover and artist based out of Bearsville. I grew up with animals and have more than 15 years caring for pups, cats, birds ,turtles and other four legged friends. I especially have a soft spot for senior pets as I recently had to say goodbye to my pup and my best friend of 16 years. I have extensive experience working with elderly and special needs pet and am able to contribute to a your fur baby’s physical as well as emotional needs. Comfortable with all types of breeds, petite or large. I look forward to connecting! Whether you’re taking a vacation, going on a business trip, or need someone to take out your dog while you're at work, you will have the peace of mind knowing that your pet is getting the nurturing and exercise they deserve and need! I take great measures and responsibility to reduce occurrences of stress, frustration, boredom and loneliness in the daily life of your pup. It is my goal to provide customized and individualized pet care to each client.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Vika is a lovely human and took such care with my dog Rose on her visit. She was communicative with me and spent time making sure Rose was happy. I will definitely work Vika again.
Vika is AMAZING !!! I cannot say enough good things about her. She watched our dog for 10 days over the holiday and made our time away so much less stressful. She knows how to handle "difficult" dogs and has won over our dogs heart with her kindness. He has been missing her ever since she left. Will definitely use her for our next outting and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and amazingly caring dog sitter!
I have been using Vika's services to board my dog for the last 2 years that I relocated from Manhattan to Brooklyn. She truly loves animals and enjoys working with them. I feel very comfortable leaving Rocco with Vika, she constantly updates me with daily activities andphotos.Very greatful to have found a responsible and reliable animal caregiver and animal lover!
I have known Vika for 8 years on both a personal and business level and it is with great pleasure that I recommend her to be a sitter for Rover. I have on several occasions had Vika look after my own two dogs and many cats and I have complete faith and trust in her to care for my or anyone's animals in a loving and responsible manner. As her former supervisor at Starbucks I can attest to Vika's strong work ethic. She is reliable, responsible and an all around pleasant person to work with. She is truly the type of employee any employer would like to have on their team. I haver no doubt that Vika would be a great fit for Rover. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me (917-887-7279) and I will be happy to speak with you.
"I hired VIka as a petsitter for my 6 year old puggle, who suffers from separation anxiety. She was very kind and dependable and kept me fully updated with texts and even pictures of my pup! I highly recommend her for any of your dog and cat needs. =)"
I cannot believe how good Vika was with our 3 dogs. We have a Great Dane, a Wiener Dog, and a poodle. What a site! Living in New York with these kind of pups is a heavy load. Now we have somebody we can really rely on! Thanks again for taking care of Rusty, Ruth, and Gert! E=====Ǝ <thats a bone!

A typical day
Going for a hike at Thorne, taking a walk on the rail trail, venturing out or staying in depending on the level of activity each pet needs. I always check in with the client first to ensure what they are comfortable with and what’s the best accommodation for their pet.
