I’ve loved animals ever since I was a child — even frogs and cows! Unfortunately, my Soviet parents didn’t allow pets, so I only got my first cat when I was 13, and I adored her. Later in life, my nomadic lifestyle made it difficult to have a pet of my own, but I often cared for friends’ animals and did occasional pet sitting. One of the most memorable experiences was taking care of a beautiful dog named Bella for two months in Bansko, Bulgaria. We went through her first heat together, took her on her first mountain hikes in Pirin, and worked on leash training and separation anxiety.

Now I’ve moved to Potsdam (hopefully for good!) and am really looking forward to spending more time with animals. I live in a cozy two-room apartment with a big balcony in Waldstadt II and would be happy to host and care for your cat while you're away. I’m also happy to do dog walks, home visits, and provide companionship while you’re busy or traveling. I’m flexible with time and will make sure your pets feel loved, safe, and relaxed. I speak Russian, English, and Spanish fluently and learning German (still basic).
