About Vitaliia I.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every home I care for pets in. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a peaceful, stress-free atmosphere where pets feel safe, cared for, and respected.
Information Vitaliia I. would like to know about your pet
I love getting to know each pet before I start 😊 It’s really helpful to learn about their routine, energy level, personality, quirks, what they like (or don’t like), and anything I should watch out for, including any special needs or preferences. The more I know, the better I can match their vibe, adjust my approach, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable.
A typical day
Every pup gets their own little “plan” with me 😊 I always start with what you tell me about them: their habits, energy level, what they love (or don’t love), and then adjust based on how they’re feeling that day. Some dogs are all about long walks, playtime, and games, others just want a chill walk and lots of cuddles. I’m happy to do a mix of both, plus a little mental stimulation like simple training or letting them explore and sniff around. My goal is just to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and understood while you’re away.

Pet care experience
I’ve been around animals my whole life — I grew up in a household with two dogs and two cats, so caring for pets has always felt natural to me. I’m also a yoga instructor at Puppy Yoga, where I regularly work with groups of puppies, so I’m very comfortable handling high-energy, playful, and curious little ones with patience and calmness. Friends often trust me with their pets when they’re away, and I genuinely love having animals around — it never feels like a chore. Pets tend to feel comfortable with me quickly, and I’m attentive to their routines, moods, and needs. I also love walking and being outdoors, so long walks, playtime, and keeping pets active are something I truly enjoy. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for.
Reviews
I had a last minute weekend trip and Vitaliia was great at getting back to me quick saying she can stop in and feed my cat! Great communication & quick response!
Vitaliia was fantastic with our senior dog! Our dog required a little bit of extra care and Vitaliia was very patient and understanding of those needs. She was very responsive and provided great updates! I would recommend and trust Vitaliia with your pups!
She was amazing, very attentive to my dog and her needs. Definitely will be booking again!
Vitaliia did an amazing job looking after our two cats while we were on vacation!! I was very pleased with the photos she took and the great amount of care and interest she took in their wellbeing. Would happily book again!
