Pet care experience

care+endless love for ur pet❤

Hi! I’m Yana 😊 I recently moved to Santa Monica with my husband and would love to care for your dog and become your go-to sitter in the area. I’ve been around animals my whole life — I started caring for dogs at 12 and volunteered with a dog rescue at 14. That experience taught me how to handle different breeds, temperaments, and behaviors, including basic training and reading dog body language. Dogs aren’t just a hobby for me — they’re something I genuinely understand and enjoy. I work from home, which means your dog will have constant supervision, attention, and care throughout the day — no long hours alone. I typically care for only one dog at a time to make sure they get a calm, safe, and personalized experience. What you can expect: • Full-time care and supervision • Regular potty breaks as needed • Lots of updates, photos, and quick communication • A safe, clean, and calm environment • Your dog treated like family Dog walking: I provide at least 1-hour walks that are fully tailored to your dog’s energy level and needs. This can include relaxed neighborhood strolls, more active walks with hills, or a slower pace if needed. I focus on more than just potty breaks — walks are structured as both physical and mental exercise to help your dog stay balanced, calm, and happy. I’m happy to schedule a meet & greet beforehand to make sure it’s the right fit and to go over all the details — I want this to be a great experience for both you and your dog. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! 🐾

Yana was incredible. She patiently listened and really took the time to meet my dog and learn his needs. She went above and beyond, always keeping a keen eye on him while building a relationship with him. This was the first time in my life I was able to relax while my dog was under another's care. Truly can't say enough good things.

I loved Yana! She was really great! No complaints. Communication was excellent. She took care of my dog perfectly. I'm so grateful to her. My dog loved her and her husband! She sent photos to me every day and made me feel at ease.

This was my first time boarding my dog and I was a little concerned leaving my little guy in the hands of a stranger. I chose Yana and she allayed all my fears. She followed all instructions and gave me daily updates with photos of my pup. My dog is back happy and healthy. I would hire her again. Bravo. ❤️??
