Polina truly LOVES dogs. She has been walking our very timid cockapoo 3 times a week for the past half year and our dog has never been happier. We were having problems with Mia having accidents in the house that corrected immediately after Polinas walks (runs) began. Her detailed reports and darling pictures are just the icing on the cake. The best part is the transformation Mia has gone through. She used to be so afraid of other dogs and people and now will go up to other dogs and even people and say hi. :) It's truly amazing! I am convinced that it's a direct result of all of Polina's attention and sincerely tender and patient loving care. Polina is also the most concientious human being I have ever met. She has the highest ethical standards and has even given us discounts for being loyal customers. Who does that these days?? Love her and love the way our dog has blossomed. Thank you Polina! read more

Unfortunately, I no longer live in Solana Beach, or California for that matter. But, when I lived there for three years, I counted on Polina's pet sitting services for both my cat Charlie and my dog Onyx. Where do I begin? I can only sum up, that Polina has been the BEST petsitter I have ever relied on to take care of my furabies. She is extremely knowledgeable on dogs and cats, especially small breed dogs because that's what she owns, and she absolutely loves animals. My dog Onyx, is a senior Chihuahua, and the first time I had Polina take care of her, Onyx had just experienced some serious gastrointestinal issues. She was a mess, and needed daily meds, and also a special bland food diet. Polina immediately took to my animals, and showed a lot of concern for Onyx' health and skinny frame. My animals took to her immediately too, because animals know when they are around somebody who truly, and genuinely loves and cares for them. When I came back from that first trip, where I had Polina take care of my animals, Onyx had put on weight, and looked healthier and happier than she had in years. And I was only gone for about a week! What I appreciate the most about Polina's petsitting services, is that she is very personable about it. She takes her job very seriously, and while very professional is also passionate at the same time. I found out, that she would make special food for Onyx even when she didn't need to. She goes above and beyond the call of duty in order to fulfill her obligations, and her prices are reasonable. I highly recommend Polina as a petsitter. Your animals will be in good hands, and that is one less thing you'll have to worry about, while away from home. read more

Polina definitely is the most reliable, friendly, honest and pet loving sitter I ever had. She did a great job taking care of our dog Shy and cat Nisan during our week vacation. Polina impressed me from the very beginning when she stopped by to meet our pets. She took many notes to ensure our pets' safety and comfort. What I liked the most are the daily email reports that she provided us. These were very detailed and made us more comfortable knowing how our pets behaved, what they ate and how they played on a daily basis. When we came home, we had a welcome-home card from our pets, which was extremely cute! Overall, our pets adore Polina and we will use her for our future needs. read more

Polina is simply amazing! I called her on a Thursday night as I was frantically looking for someone to take care of our Golden Retriever for the weekend and she got back to me the same night. Luckily she was available for the weekend and she gave detailed reports on what her and our dog did each day =) I was very impressed and would definitely recommend her to anyone! I felt very comfortable with her in my house as well! Thanks again! read more

Polina is superb! She was always concerned with the overall health of my geriatric Basset Hound, and made sure that she had nice outings. She always gave me good feedback so that I knew how my dog was doing during the day. I work from home and I scheduled dog walks with Polina whenever I needed to go out of town. She was always flexible and available to accomodate us. We moved out of the area, so we miss being able to call on her. Thanks, Polina! read more

polina came over to meet my dog before she started her daily walks. Although it was a good meet and greet for she and I, I could actually tell that she really wanted to "interview" my dog- to know all of his likes and dislikes, how he likes his walks/ visits, etc. She is incredibly kind, professional and caring. My dog instantly loved her. She sends awesome text messages, about the walk. I also feel very comfortable giving her access to my home. Foster and I love Polina! read more

My dogs LOVE Polina . I have 3 female Bullmastiffs. One is very skittish and can be rough towards strange dogs. Polina says she likes the challenge. I am lucky to have met her. It is nice to hear how things went after she spends time with them. And they always have fresh water before she leaves them . I know she has my dogs in her best interest. As a small business owner myself, it is nice to know there are other people out there who LOVE their job. And Polina is one of them. I highly recommend her. read more

The best dog walker ever!! Polina is by far the most caring, reliable, and trust worthy dog walker i have ever met. I adopted my first dog on a Wed from the pound and I had no where to put him the next day as I had to go to work. I called Polina, she met me and my new puppy Watson at my house at 9 PM! She gave me suggestions for some behavior issues Watson has and made me feel completely at ease that this new transition to being a dog owner was going to be great and rewarding! I immediately felt comfortable with her and her expertise, enough so to give her a key to my place. She walked/ran with Watson on the days we set up and at the end of the day would write back such detailed notes, I felt that I went on the hikes/runs with her and Watson. On the first visit she was kind enough to send me a picture of Watson so I can see that he was doing ok and when I came home there were fresh picked wild flowers "from Watson" in a glass cup :) What a great way to come home! On about the 3rd or 4th day of walking Watson she noticed that he might have an infection from a splinter on his paw. She called me at work and told me that she had already called her vet to see what should be done. Because of her attention to detail I took Watson to the vet that same day and got started on antibiotics and the paw healed up just fine! She had even cleaned his accidents when he happens to get too excited! She is amazing! I wish she would open up a doggy day care so I can have Watson with her ALL day instead of the 30 min-1 hr. Heck, I wish she would open up a child care center too, because I am sure she will pay just as much love and attention to anyone she comes across. Thank again for all your help with my new puppy! Watson adores you and I am sure we will continue to want to you to come by for visits :) read more

We are so lucky we found Polina! She has been walking our dog for over a year now and has provided us with peace of mind that while we're at work, our pup is getting her much needed exercise and love. Polina comes by our house 5 times a week and as others have mentioned in their reviews, we trust her explicitly. She is an amazing care-taker for our dog and genuinely cares for our pup's well being. We NEVER have to worry about our dog while we're at work because we know Polina gives her the attention and exercise that she needs mid-day. By the time we get home in the evening, our dog is exhausted and happy! Polina is professional, kind and so incredibly knowledgeable about all things 'dog'. We truly feel like we'd be lost without her, as would our pup. We just can't say enough great things about Polina....... We couldn't be happier clients! read more

I started using Polina 3 years ago when I had knee surgery to take my two high energy schnoodles out and she was a Godsend!! My dogs love and trust her and were wary of other dogs so she started introducing them and they all run around so well behaved and adorable - I can call her for long and short pet needs and will always have her now as she is like family! She spots when the boys need attention Reports back if she notices they are acting differently and so affectionate with them. Really reliable and worth every penny! read more

I had never used a dog sitter before so I was quite happy to locate (on Yelp) Polina who had a 5-star rating and was located near my home. She took the time to come and meet me and my pup before I hired her to walk Ollie every day while I was at work. After interacting with Polina for the past 6 months I feel confident saying that you will not find a more honest, devoted and reliable dog sitter than Polina. Polina will love your dog, and more important, your dog will love Polina! read more

After working at home for 2 years, our 2 pugs were used to always having someone at home with them. When I went back to an office, I was worried about them getting lonely and being alone all day. I started researching dog walkers and saw these beaming reviews for Polina on Yelp, but I still wasn't sure if I should pull the trigger. Having someone walk our dogs 5 days a week just seemed like a frivalous expense. I called anyway and Polina came to meet the dogs. She started walking them the very next week and...OMG I'm blown away. The amount of care & attention she gives our dogs is way more than I could have imagined. She not only spends time with them, walks them, takes them on outings to meet other friends (often times much longer than the 30 minutes I pay her for, without charging extra), cleans up the dog poop on the back patio, gives them their favorite treats, fills their dog bowls...I could go on and on. Her detailed texts never leave me wondering what the pugs did that day. When we get home from work, the puggies are tired and happy to see us. Best $$ ever spent. read more

We've had Polina watch our small, high strung pup several times now and she's always done an outstanding job. She clearly adores dogs, and the feeling must be mutual, as ours can barely contain herself when she sees Polina. We receive regular check ins via text, letting us know how the walks and playtime go, and Polina's even game for watching our two tortoises. She definitely goes above and beyond, and we appreciate her tremendously. read more

I am jealous... because my two dogs LOVE Polina more than they love me!!! Polina has been our trusted friend and pet sitter for two years and without her, we would not be able to lead our busy lives while having two great dogs. My husband and I call her, "the dog whisperer" because she is so in tune with dogs, their temperaments and their needs. She is not only professional, conscientious and thorough, but she is also trustworthy in all ways. I implicitly trust her to be in our home (she has a key), while we are away but most importantly, I trust her to care for our dogs and their needs when I can't. I trust her to feed them properly, exercise them and protect them. She has always cared for our dogs with kindness and love and even helps me with training and grooming tips. She provides us with text message updates and keeps us aware of how our dogs are doing. She has been available when we have needed her and she is always pleasant and patient. Polina is an avid animal lover who displays her affections for our dogs openly and lovingly. We really do think that our dogs love her more than they love us but fortunately for them, they have us and Polina! read more

Polina is amazing and I recommend anyone who wants their pet not just walked but loved and taken care of use her services.
