Availability
I’m currently looking for remote work, so I have plenty of time to play with and keep a pooch entertained when they’re awake and want attention.

Safety, trust & environment
BEFORE THE STAY Before each stay, I always meet you and your pup so everyone can get comfortable. We’ll take a little walk, see where we’ll be going for strolls, and let your dog explore our home — that way, the first day feels familiar and stress-free. SETTLING IN During the first few days, I stay home full-time so your dog can settle in calmly. If your pup has separation anxiety, I’ll make sure they’re never left alone. CARE & COMFORT I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine — feeding schedule, brushing, medications, supplements, or any little rituals that make them feel secure. If your dog gets anxious around brushes, clippers, or harnesses, I can gently help them get used to those things using only positive reinforcement. WALKS, PLAY & ENRICHMENT At first, our walks are all about exploring, sniffing, and getting to know the neighborhood. Once your dog feels safe with us, I add more fun and challenge — fetch, tug games, trick training, and scent games for mental stimulation. I always walk dogs on a long leash (never a retractable one), and if you don’t have one, I’ve got one ready. When your dog reliably responds to my voice — and with your permission — we can enjoy some safe off-leash time in the park. ESSENTIALS FOR YOUR PUP 🛋 Dog sofa 🦮 5-meter leash 🚰 Water bottle for long walks 🧴 Duoxo S3 shampoo for safe clean-ups 🧩 Lick mat & Kong to help your dog relax ❄️ Cooling mat for hot days 🚗 Car hammock & safety belt (for harness use only) for comfortable rides out of town

Information Viktoriia K. would like to know about your pet
• Can the dog sleep in a separate room at night? • How often do you usually walk them? • Does your dog pick things up on walks? • Do you let them off-leash? • Do they show any aggression toward other dogs or people on walks? • How do they react to strangers at home? • What is a typical day like for them? • Is their parasite treatment up to date? Will it need updating while they stay with us? • Are there any special care requirements? Do they currently take any medications? • Are dog treats allowed? What about fruit, vegetables, or berries? • Are there any behavioral quirks or habits we should know about? • How do they handle public transport and car rides? When your dog stays with us, we ask you to bring a few things. FOR THE BOARDING • Food • Treats (if your dog only eats specific kinds) • Toiletries and medications if needed • Bed or something with the scent of home and you, to help your dog feel calm and comfortable FOR THE DAY CARE • Food • Medications if required • Everything else is optional
A typical day
I walk dogs at least twice a day. The first walk lasts about 1–1.5 hours, and the second one 30–60 minutes. During the longer walk, your dog can take care of all their essential business, and the rest of the time is spent on play, scent games, and practicing tricks and commands. Home is mostly for rest and sleep. But if your dog wants to have fun instead of just lying on the couch for belly rubs, they’re more than welcome to!

Pet care experience
Pavel (my partner) and I love dogs, and I’ve also discovered that I truly enjoy working with them. In the summer of 2024, a friend entrusted us with her energetic and reactive four-year-old Cockapoo. I took several courses and worked closely with a professional dog trainer to teach him to leave things on the ground, walk nicely on a leash, settle down when needed, greet guests calmly, tolerate grooming and drying, get ready for walks without stress, and stay calm at home. While we saw real progress, it was inconsistent, and after four months, Pavel and I realized we weren’t ready to live in constant stress over Yosi’s setbacks long-term. Yosi found a loving new home, and now we’ve embraced the joy of hosting dogs temporarily — giving them love, attention, and care while their owners are away.
Reviews
Our dog Stitch absolutely loved spending time with Victoriia and warmed up to them right away. They were so friendly, easy to talk to, and clearly treated our dog like part of their own family. We really appreciated the photo updates and little messages that kept us smiling while we were away. Would happily book them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a kind, reliable dog sitter.
The calmest and most reassuring dog-sitting experience I’ve ever had! My dogs (beagle and pomeranian) aren’t the easiest - they both have behavioural quirks, and one of them is a rescue and requires medication three times a day, which means proper attention and care are absolutely essential. Viktoriia handled everything perfectly and with full responsibility. She not only followed my detailed instructions, but also asked thoughtful follow up questions that I hadn’t even considered, to make sure she had a full understanding of my dogs’ routines and needs. Viktoriia stayed in touch all the time, sharing photos and updates about how the dogs were doing and what they were up to. They came back happy, safe, and absolutely fine. And I didn’t have a single moment of worry while I was away! Thank you so much for the love, patience, and care you gave my girls, and for the peace of mind you gave me! I wholeheartedly recommend Viktoriia!
