Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily routine. I dedicate time each day to walking, feeding, and playing with dogs, making sure they get the attention and exercise they need. Whether it’s a quick walk or extended playtime, I prioritize their well-being and happiness. On a weekly basis, I stay consistent with their schedules and communicate regularly with pet owners to ensure each dog’s unique needs are met.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment when caring for pets, whether in my home or the owner’s. I make sure the space is secure, free from hazards, and comfortable for the dog. I follow each pet’s routine carefully - feeding, walking, and resting times - to reduce stress and create a sense of familiarity. Building trust is key, so I approach every dog with patience and respect, always attentive to their mood and needs. Communication with the owner is ongoing to ensure transparency and peace of mind.

Information Vira R. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know any special needs, routines, fears, or favorite things ahead of time - I want your pet to feel safe, happy, and understood.

A typical day

For energetic dogs, a typical day with me includes multiple long, sniff-filled walks throughout the day, allowing plenty of time for exploring and play. We enjoy their favorite games to keep them mentally and physically engaged. I make sure to give lots of belly rubs and cuddles, wash their paws after walks to keep them clean, and provide fresh meals on schedule. Between activities, I ensure they have plenty of time to rest and relax in a comfortable, safe space. My goal is to make them feel loved, happy, and secure - just like they’re part of my family. For older dogs, the day is gentler and more mindful. Walks are slower and shorter, tailored to their pace and energy level, with several calm outdoor breaks to stretch their legs. I wash their paws after each walk to keep them comfortable, feed them on time with attention to their dietary needs, and create a cozy, quiet environment for plenty of rest. Throughout the day, I offer gentle pets and soothing cuddles, always focusing on their comfort and well-being to help them feel safe, loved, and peaceful.

🩷Paws & Brunch 18 July El Santo🐾

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Vira🌷 I’m hosting a dog-focused brunch on 18 July at El Santo Bar & Restaurant in Glasgow city centre. Book via El Santo🌮 Spending time with dogs brings me so much joy, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Your dog will get plenty of attention, care, and cuddles with me. A bit more: I’ve loved animals since I was a child. Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. To me they are not just pets, they are living souls with big hearts and their own personalities. I’ve looked after dogs of many sizes and breeds, and whether it’s walking, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company, I always give them my full attention and care. I grew up with my dog Bruce, who was truly my best friend. After he passed away last year I got a small tattoo in his memory, a reminder of the love we shared. Because of him I understand how deep the bond with a dog can be, and I bring that same love and respect to every dog I care for. Dogs deserve to feel safe, happy, and loved like family. I treat every dog with the same care and respect I gave my own. I pay attention to their energy, body language, and needs. Whether we are going on joyful walks or simply relaxing together, I want them to feel calm and safe. I follow their routine carefully, wash their paws after walks, keep their space clean and peaceful, and always make time for comfort and cuddles. Dogs feel energy, so I always bring calm, gentle, and kind energy around them. I live in the centre of Glasgow and work mostly from home, which allows me to be fully present for the pets I care for. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, from playful puppies to shy senior dogs. Each one is special and treated like family from the first moment. My love for animals started early. When I was 12 I began walking my neighbour’s dog every day, and since then dogs have always been part of my life. I have cared for many dogs over the years, each with their own needs and character. Back in Ukraine I also volunteered at a local animal shelter, helping care for abandoned and rescued pets, feeding them, walking them, comforting them, and helping them find new families. It was meaningful work that taught me patience, trust, and kindness. The closest bond I had was with my own dog Bruce. He was my best friend and a true family member. Losing him last year was heartbreaking, but I carry his memory with me always, even as a small tattoo over my heart. Because of him I understand how deeply people love their pets, and I care for every dog as if they were my own. I live in a cozy and loving apartment in the G5 area of Glasgow. Just a few steps away is Glasgow Green, a large beautiful park where dogs can enjoy long walks and explore new scents safely on a leash. Nearby there is also Richmond Park, a quiet place with gentle swans and peaceful paths. My home is a calm and safe space where every pet is treated like family. I live with my boyfriend who also loves animals, so together we create a warm and welcoming home. Dogs are welcome to relax on the sofa or bed and move freely around the apartment. There is a bathroom if your dog needs a bath or a quick paw wash after walks. We also have two secured balconies where dogs can enjoy fresh air safely. Safety and trust are always my priority. I make sure the apartment is free from hazards so pets can explore comfortably. I approach every dog with patience and respect, helping them feel relaxed and confident. Clear communication with owners helps me understand each dog’s needs and routine so I can provide the best care possible. Our neighbourhood is full of animal lovers and many neighbours have their own pets, which creates a friendly atmosphere where dogs feel comfortable. Cleanliness, calmness, and love fill our home, and your dog will be safe, happy, and truly cared for here🐾❤️

Highly recommend Vira. She was great with our cat and really responded to his needs while he stayed with her. We were sent regular updates e.g. photos, videos and messages about how our cat was doing and was very helpful with any questions we had before drop-off. I would definitely book Vira again if I needed a sitter in the future.

Vira has been an absolutely wonderful sitter for our cockapoo Pip. We are always kept in the loop with lots of photos and updates, and he comes back happy and relaxed! We’re very appreciative of how attentive and caring Vira is - it’s very clear that she takes dog sitting very seriously which gives us a lot of peace of mind, and her thoroughness is brilliant. Thanks very much Vira, we look forward to having you take care of pip again!
