Pet care experience

Fearful or reactive dog? No problem

I care for dogs not for the money, but for the joy they bring. I’ve raised puppies, traveled internationally as a trusted house and dog sitter, and cared for dogs with medical and special needs. I’ve also worked alongside a professional trainer to better understand canine behavior and communication. As a serious, responsible professional myself, I know how important peace of mind is when you leave your pup behind — and that’s exactly what I provide.

I cannot recommend Yana highly enough. She took exceptional care of my elderly dog, treating him with genuine kindness. Caring for a senior dog requires extra attention, and she ensured he was comfortable and well cared for while I was away. She kept me updated, giving me complete peace of mind, and it was clear from the moment I returned that my dog had been in excellent hands. Her professionalism and reliability was greatly appreciated. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will care for your pet as if they were her own, I would not hesitate to recommend her. I will definitely be using her services again.

A huge thank you to Yana who genuinely cared for Belle as her own dog! We had a meet and greet before booking and her communication throughout the entire process and stay was timely and greatly appreciated. She invested her time and demonstrated her interest in getting to know Belle’s habits, needs and personality. I can’t recommend her highly enough. She gave me great peace of mind that Belle was being well taken care of while I was away. Thank you so much Yana :)

Yana is very caring and very knowledgeable on dog behaviors. She’s very gentle and that’s why Jack took to her right away. She went beyond to take amazing care of our Jack. We will surely ask her to watch our Jack again. Thank you again Yana.

Yana took such good care of our boy Oakley, and he was so happy when we picked him up. It was so relieving to know that he was in good hands and was actively having an amazing vacation as well. I really appreciated the regular updates she would give us. She took him to dog parks regularly, and he loved it. Yana is attentive to each dog’s personality and needs and adjusted their care accordingly. Thank you so much Yana!!

Yana was wonderful with our dog. She was very attentive and responsive, and she kept us updated every day with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. Her dog was also very friendly, and the two of them became great buddies,such a cute friendship! 😄 We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her and would definitely recommend her.

Schedule

I work from home with flexible schedule. I live in the area full of green spaces and two big dog parks. There are no stairs to access my place. It's big enough for puppies to run and enjoy their time

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a calm, structured, and safe environment where dogs can feel secure and relaxed. I remove hazards, secure doors and entry points, and maintain a clean, dog-friendly space. I follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedule, exercise needs, medication, and sleep habits — to reduce stress and help them feel at home. I also require a meet & greet beforehand to ensure a good fit for everyone.

Pets

A typical day

I wake up at 6:30 and don't start work until 9. All the time before I spend between sport and play with my pup inside or outside. Then I go out for a little walk during lunch and then a long walk before sleep to the nearby dog park.
