Our experience

10+ years

I’ve been caring for pets and homes throughout my life, though not professionally until now. I’ve looked after dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and even bearded dragons. We regularly pet sit for our friends' cats and dogs, and they do the same

Alex & Irina looked after Sarah’s pets & home

As the owner of a rescue puppy with trauma, leaving Coco behind for a 4-day wedding trip was incredibly stressful. Since Coco refuses to travel in cars, we needed someone to stay at our home. Alex proved to be the perfect solution! His gentle, kind approach was exactly what Coco needed. Not only did he take exceptional care of Coco, but he also respected our home—returning it even cleaner than we left it! For anyone with a dog that has special needs or anxiety, I can’t recommend Alex highly enough. We’ll definitely be using his services again.

Why we want to house sit

House and pet sitting lets us experience life in a new place more deeply, not just as tourists. We love caring for pets and enjoy their company (and cuddles!), and this is a great way to help others while also making travel more affordable
