About Aliaksei & Volha

We are active, non-smoking family with open hearts, passion to travel and great love to all animals, but especially to cats. Living in Minsk, Belarus, we prefer vegetarian and ecological way of life. With our energy, responsibility and adaptability we will provide all we can to do the best for your family pets. We see not animals but friends and individualities inside them.
Both of us have a job that let us work distantly most of the time. Aleksei is digital illustrator working for Moscow design studio and over his own projects. Olya is wedding and portrait photographer with interest in field of pet photo as hobby. So you can get few wonderful shots of your lovely pets during our staying ( of course only if you want it ). Tsima, our 5 years old son, is kind and clever boy with interests in world around us, books, board games and LEGO constructing =) He not only loves, but respects animals. We teach him that from an early age.

Why we want to house sit

It is a pleasure for us to care about animals and become friends for them. Also we value possibility to travel more and getting local experience in different parts of the world. As a young parents of 5 years old boy we see a great opportunity to show him the world, traditions and places. We hope it helps our son to grow up into open-minded and conscious person with love for animals and understanding of variety of the world.

Our experience

We are cheerful, full of energy and trustworthy family. We respect people's homes and understand how important their pets are in their lives. Both of us have had house pets in the past. Olya had a passion to animals, especially to cats, from her childhood and had given it to me - her husband. She fed homeless animals, nursed wounded birds, looked after her friends cats and was a mom and friend for her own cats. Now we have no our own pets because we are traveling a lot and don't want to leave them alone too often.

Aliaksei and family took beautiful care of our two cats for 12 days. All our communications had a warm, friendly, easy vibe and the night before we left Aliaksei took careful notes of how to feed the cats, care for the plants, and manage the apartment. He kept in touch while we were away and have given us the gift of beautiful photos of our cats and home. It's easy to see from the photos as well as from the happiness of the cats themselves that the family really saw and enjoyed the cats' distinctive personalities. We feel very good about the whole experience and wholeheartedly recommend the family.

Aleksei, Olya and their son took care of our house and cat over the winter holidays. To be short: we can only be very positive about the housesit! The contact before the housesit was easy, as well as during the housesit when we received multiple updates about how our cat was doing. We came home to a very clean house and a very happy cat. Just before we came back home, Aleksei emailed us a set of very high-quality (and beautiful) pictures of our cat which we loved :)

Aleksei, Olya and they son Tsima looked after our two cats for 3 days. When we returned the house was impeccable and the cats happy, healthy and relaxed. They had a calm attitude and a confidence with the cats and kept us up to date with what was going on as necessary. We would definitely recommend Aleksei, and Olya to anyone requiring a house sitter for their pets.
