About the caregiver

Right Pet Sitter for You! Hi! My name is Irina. Nice to meet you. I work as a freelance photographer, which gives me a fair amount of free time in between jobs. In 2016, I started offering pet sitting to my neighbors. I enjoyed it so much and fell in love with all the pets I met. I have experience with large, small, and medium dogs. I can take care of single dogs or multiple dogs. I can work with dogs who don't like socializing/aren’t good at it, or with dogs who are more capable of being social. I can also work with dogs who need to stay on leash as well as those who can walk off leash on trails. I am familiar with most cities in the East Bay and San Francisco. I have house sat and pet sat in the cities of Berkeley, Oakland, San Leandro, San Francisco, Diablo, Kensington, San Rafael, and other multiple locations. I offer short-term and long-term pet sitting, dog walking, cat feeding, and/or pet visiting services. Several pet owners have mentioned to me that their pet appears calmer and has more ease in general after my energy work on them. I enjoy walks and hikes with dogs and am able to walk them between 4-6 miles per day. I have experience de-skunking and bathing dogs. I love cats and would be happy to look after your feline fellows! I have the most experience with cats, from growing up with them and taking care of them from a young age. I wonder how much fun all of us can have together, and contribution I may be to you & your pet(s)?! Please let me know if you have any questions, I will be happy to speak with you anytime! I work part time as a freelance photographer; it has been very slow due to Covid. If I have a photography job, it would last from one hour to 4 hours in general. I have a lot of time to be with your pet. I don't offer a care in my home, I stay at my client's homes only.
