The idea

Pets stay in the comfort of their home.

Who I am
I’m Yulia. I work remotely, which allows me to stay present in your home most of the time. Since my current lifestyle doesn’t allow me to have my own pets, each sit is a welcome chance to have that connection again.

Experience & trust
I grew up with animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’ve been house-sitting full time for over a year, so most situations that come up are things I’ve likely handled before. References and background verification available on request.

What I ask
I’m selective about which sits I accept. Because I work remotely from your home, I need reliable Wi-Fi, a clean and functional space, and a properly maintained home. I treat your home the way I’d want mine treated, and I expect the same standard in return.

Common questions

Where do you sit?
I currently serve all of California. For monthly sits, distance usually isn’t a barrier.
Do you sit in any home?
Since I stay in your home full-time during your trip, its condition matters — not just for comfort, but for my ability to work remotely. I expect a clean, tidy space, working essentials (reliable Wi-Fi, hot water, and heating/cooling where appropriate), and a home that's in good working order, not full of problems. I treat your home with care and expect the same standard in return.
Why live in full time instead of drop-in visits?
Routine and presence. Staying in the home keeps your pets' schedule consistent and avoids the stress that comes from long gaps alone.
How do we confirm a booking?
We schedule a video call, agree on expectations, and confirm with a written agreement.
Do you have references or background checks?
Yes. References and background verification are available upon request.

What hosts say

"We were nervous leaving our two dogs and house for three weeks, but everything was perfect. Daily photos, zero stress. We came back to a cleaner home than we left."

Mia&Tom — San Diego, CA

"Our senior cat needs medication twice a day and is very shy with strangers. She was completely comfortable within two days. I wouldn't leave her with anyone else now."

Sarah — Santa Barbara, CA

"Having someone there full time was completely different to any sitter we'd had before. She was there for our pets, not just passing through. Worth every penny."

James — Carlsbad, CA
