Behind the Paws: Get to Know Our Sitters

Charlie &

Olena Pavlenko

“We have used Olya’s service many times, short term and long term. The best review we can give comes from our little guy, Charlie.
When we turn onto Olya’s street and he sees her house, realizing where he is going, he is immediately happy and excited.
Leaving our puppy is hard for us, but knowing he is safe, happy and looked after with love makes it so much easier.
Olya will always send us photos showing…


Ace and Kipper &

Corina and Silviu

“We travel a few times a year and we needed someone to take care of our 2 dogs while we are away. We were lucky enough to find Olga. Our dogs are extremely well taken care of. We can tell from how they react when we drop them off at Olga’s and from the photos we receive every day. Us humans and our doggies highly recommend Olga if you are looking for a caring dog lover to trust with your pets….

Scooter and Daisy &

Carolyn and 
Steve Arndt

“It is a dog’s good fortune to find Olga and her family for care while their owners travel!  Our two tiny dogs have been regulars at Olga’s since November 2022.  They get exercise, safe socialization with other dogs, lots of cuddles and love in Olga’s home. We get regular updates, photos and videos, and know our dogs are safe and happy.  We are so grateful we can travel without worry knowing our pups are in their home away from home.”
