I bring calm, confidence, and patience to every pet sitting, easily handling even the most challenging situations. My history of proven experience, adaptability, and mobility make me the ideal choice for your pet’s care.

Safety, trust & environment

Upon arriving at the household, I ask key questions to ensure I respect your home and give the best care to your pets. I’ll ask about what I can and can’t use or access, your pet’s habits, feeding instructions, and, for dogs, I always begin with an initial walk to get acquainted. I also gather important contacts, like your vet and trusted neighbors, and check details like transportation options and nearby supermarkets. I’m mindful of practical concerns, such as how the doors lock and any other specifics, to ensure everything runs smoothly during my stay.

I was happy to leave my dogs with Volodymir. He asked a lot of questions before the stay to ensure he knows my dogs well and what they may need. House was well taken care of at the end of the stay and the dogs were happy. Any serious issues were communicated and discussed.

Volodymyr stayed at our house with our 2 dogs for 10 days and we were so impressed! From the very beginning, he was very communicative, gave regular updates, and wasn’t afraid to ask questions. One of our dogs has reactivity issues and Volodymyr handled him with ease. When we got home, our home was spotless and in pristine condition, and our dogs were very happy and well taken care of! We are very thankful for Volodymyr and we look forward to working with him again in the future! Highly recommend!

I went away relaxed and confident that Volodymyr was coming in to feed my cats as arranged. We had met beforehand and he was very thorough in gaining all the information from me regarding my 2 cats. He sent me photos each day including the food eaten and what he put down for them each day. I was so grateful for him coming in on Christmas Day and Boxing Day too. Thankyou

Volodymyr was brilliant. When we first met he asked sensible questions and he took really good care of our elderly cat while we were away.

I was lucky enough to get in contact with Vlod for a 6 week mission of taking care of my dog at my apartment in France. My dog is unfortunately quite a complicated character, who often has trust issues and problemes of agression. I was very stressed and nervous to go forward with the plan as Pancho had never been taken care of anyone else before. To my delight, Vlod was patient, understanding and fantastic with Pancho... The two ended up having a fantastic time together and I had absolutely zero complaints about him and nor any comments from my neighbours. Without a doubt I would trust him again and advise anyone to give him a chance. We also had the pleasure of sharing a few days together before I left on my trip and I enjoyed his company very much

Volodymyr arrived at our house the day before we left on our trip. Our dog, Koro, was really at ease with him, and he took his time to get to know Koro's cues and personality. He has a lot of experience with rescues and dogs who are not necessarily the easiest behaviorally. While we were away for three weeks, he updated us with how Koro was doing the perfect amount, and responded to my messages quickly. The apartment was very clean when my husband returned, and he even very kindly made Ukrainian borscht--so nice to be welcomed back to one's own home after a tiring journey! Most importantly, we're grateful that Koro was so clearly cared for. My husband and I both separately took walks alongside Volodomyr and Koro, and he has firm (but kind) control the whole time, even for a sometimes jumpy dog like ours. We heartily recommend Volodymyr for dog sitting and housesitting.

Schedule

Pet care is something I take seriously and fit into my schedule with flexibility. I can travel long distances, and any day of the week can work for me with some advance planning. As my schedule can get busy, I appreciate discussing and organizing in advance to ensure your pet receives the best care.
