Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because animals have always been a part of my life. I’m used to planning my mornings and evenings around walks, feeding, and playtime, and I enjoy building that consistency into my week. Whether it’s daily check-ins, longer stays, or weekend walks, I make sure caring for pets is a reliable and joyful part of my schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I make sure they have regular feeding times, fresh water, daily walks or play, and lots of affection. I also keep their routines as close as possible to what they’re used to, so they feel secure. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow the instructions provided closely — whether that’s specific feeding schedules, administering medications, or sticking to a particular walking route. I always keep the home tidy, respect the client’s space, and send regular updates and photos so they know their pets are happy and cared for.

Pet care experience

I have over 15 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, offering reliable, loving, and attentive care. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, grooming, and administering basic medications, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I pride myself on creating a safe, nurturing environment where they feel happy and cared for.

Yana took wonderful care of my Dachshund, Dudley, and my home while I was away hosting a retreat in Greece. I felt completely comfortable knowing everything was in her care. Dudley absolutely loves Yana — every time he sees her, he gets so excited and happy! She is caring, responsible, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. Yana also took great care of my home. I came back to a clean, tidy, and well-cared-for house, which was such a wonderful feeling after traveling. I would absolutely trust Yana with Dudley and my home again and highly recommend her as a reliable, loving, and trustworthy pet and house sitter!

Yana took care of my cat Neo, for two weeks while I was away, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. She is incredibly caring, responsible, and attentive. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such loving hands. Yana was reliable, communicative, and treated Neo with so much affection and care. I came home to a happy, relaxed kitty and everything exactly as I left it. I would absolutely trust Yana with my pet again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and genuinely loving pet sitter!

Yana was the absolute best! She clearly has a huge heart for all animals and did a wonderful job watching our two baby boys! Our dogs really connected with her and have used her multiple times. We recently went away for 10 days, which I now realize was the longest trip I have ever taken away from my boys. It was honestly the most relaxed I have ever been knowing they were in good hands. That says a lot because I have been known to be a bit of a "helicopter" parent ..... apparently. haha :) (We better still get priority Yana!)

Can’t think of a more affectionate and companionate person than Yana. She has a natural instinct when it comes to taking care and looking after our dogs. They love her and look forward to seeing her, completely forgetting that we are away:)
