Pet care experience
Ready to become your pup's new BFF
Hi, I'm Zhenya! With over two years of professional experience caring for dogs at popular dog daycare/boarding facility in DTLA, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every furry friend I encounter. Complementing my hands-on experience, I completed a course on Dog Emotion and Cognition through Duke University, deepening my understanding of canine behavior and psychology. Additionally, I further honed my skills by participating in a comprehensive three-day Pack Life LA dog training workshop, gaining insights into effective training techniques and pack dynamics. My dedication to understanding and nurturing dogs extends beyond professional development; my own beloved German Shepherd/Husky mix has been my faithful companion for eight years. Together, we've embarked on countless adventures, from invigorating hikes to serene beach walks and memorable road trips. In addition to my professional and personal experiences, I regularly extend my care to friends' dogs, demonstrating an intuitive understanding of various temperaments and needs. Whether it's providing comfort to nervous dogs, alleviating separation anxiety, or managing reactivity, I approach each situation with patience, empathy, and tailored care. Furthermore, my expertise extends to dietary management, including coaxing picky eaters and administering medication with ease. With a deep-rooted passion for canine well-being and a wealth of practical knowledge, I am committed to ensuring every dog under my care receives the love, attention, and support they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment
When I care for pets at a client's home, I make sure they feel safe and happy. I stick to their usual routine for meals, walks, and playtime. I also keep their space clean and tidy. I spend time with them, playing, walking, and giving cuddles. I let the owner know how things are going with updates and pictures. My goal is to make sure both the pets and the owner feel comfortable and happy.
Ratings and reviews
Zhenya was fantastic with Milo, sending us several photos at each meetup and spending quality time with him making sure he had a great weekend while we were away. Will absolutely book her again for our next trip!
Zhenya is an excellent and experienced dog sitter, as well as a responsible and capable human. You only have to meet her own dog (Nordic, the most well-adjusted and well-behaved pupper I've ever seen) to see how well she works with pets!
I worked with Yevheniia at a doggy daycare and experienced first hand how well she does with dogs. Yevheniia genuinely cares about enriching their lives and making sure they have the best time. She also very much values instructions and guidelines set by owners and respects their structure. She is a great dog mom and an even better dog sitter.
We all know that the best pet sitters and walkers are the ones who treat your dog like their own, and that is absolutely Zhenya. I have never met any pet who was better cared for than her dog, Nordic. She’s worked with dogs for years, and has shown the same level of diligence and love to every single one. I trust Zhenya without question, and cannot recommend her highly enough!
Zhenya is an incredibly warm and compassionate caregiver who I recommend to all of my friends and family. She is very communicative, reliable, and follows all of my instructions down to the smallest details. I was consistently given updates and photos of my dog and I never had the slightest doubt that he was in great hands. I will gladly keep booking her whenever I go on trips or simply need someone to check in on my little guy when I have to work extra late. Thanks again!
Yevheniia is seriously the best! My pup is very anxious, but she does a great job of being firm yet so incredibly caring and patient towards him. Plus, her own dog is the most well behaved dog I know — a total angel and living proof of her amazing training and caretaking skills. My dog loves her and is so always so excited to see her. Trust me, your dog couldn't ask for a better caretaker!
