• My Story & Their Trust

Hi, I’m Volodymyr Maksymenko — a retired Software Engineer.
I bring years of 5-star experience in pet and house sitting.
I care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments — from energetic pups to elderly companions and powerful breeds like the ShennenHund. Calm, attentive, and reliable, I handle every situation with confidence and care. My proven track record, flexibility, and mobility make me a sitter you can trust.

Volodymyr was an excellent pet and house sitter. Willy was very well cared for while I was away. He gave Willy plenty of exercise and the right amount of love. Willy LOVED Volodymyr.
Willy was looking for him in the rooms of our condo, after Volodymyr left. ☀️💛
He was very responsive to all communication. My house was well taken care of. I would recommend Volodymyr for your house and dog sitting needs.

Volodymyr took care of our home and three cats for seven weeks. We are pleased that the cats were well taken care of and so was our home. It was nice that Volodymyr was able to arrive a few days early to get to know us and and the house. He was comfortable contacting the contacts we left for him and reached out when he had questions while we were away. We hope to have him sit for us again.

Volodymyr was organised and reliable from the start. He asked relevant questions about the house and Charlie’s routine and planned his arrival to ensure a good handover. Charlie loved Volodymyr as soon as he met him and they built a strong bond. Volodymyr managed Charlies grain free diet and looked after him really well. We came home to a happy dog and a tidy house.Lynda Simonds. Lambourn, West Berkshire, UK [email protected]

Volodymyr, was brilliant with our dog Alfie, in fact it was obvious how much Alfie was happy with Volodymyr as he followed him every where in our return.
I would highly recommend him for looking after other animals. Our house was respected and was very clean and tidy on our return.Mike and Nicki A in North Yorkshire, UK

Volodymyr took great care of our dog Flynn when we visited our daughters in Australia for three and a half weeks. We received regular photos and updates, and it was clear that Flynn was really comfortable under Volodymyr's care. Communication before and during the sit was great. Volodymyr arrived as agreed before we left to have a chance to get to know Flynn and this worked really well as we could see that Flynn was happy around Volodymyr. This was our first time using a house /pet sitter and it was such a positive experience that we will definitely use the site again. We'd recommend Volodymyr for future sits.

Volodomyr has been amazing!!! This was our 1st time using this website and I found it difficult leaving our 2 x babies (dogs) with someone else. But I knew I needed to trust my instincts. This was a short term and last minute sit and it worked out brilliantly. Volodomyr listened and asked questions as well as reading the welcome guide. Whilst away he sent us photos and it helped to put my mind at rest. Clearly the dogs were totally fine with him as they ate everyday without sulking. The only negative was the weather wasn't great. We hope we see Volodomyr again and he is welcome to look after our babies anytime !
We would highly recommend him for any pet sit !
Thank you Volodomyr!!! Janine & Shaun (your new friends)

Volodymyr is incredibly well planned and conscientious. He asked many questions before the sit - making sure he had a hand over walk with Dennis before we left, and reading through the guidelines thoroughly in advance too. Because I have a high level of detail in my household guidelines - we didn't hear from Volodymyr unless we contacted him to check in. He asked us how much contact we would like while away and we said only occasionally or if there was an issue. If you want daily updates and photos you only have to ask however and he will deliver. Dennis was very attached to Volodymyr when we got back and was fit and glossy and happy and healthy. He's had lots of exercise and eaten his meals - he can sometimes go off his food if he's unhappy so it was clear he was happy with Volodymyr. The house was clean and tidy - Volodymyr values his responsibility for your home and your pet very highly and is a kind and reliable man and a great house sitter and pet carer. Thank you Volodymyr - and safe onward travels.

Volodymyr was highly responsible and cared for our two dogs and cat perfectly. We could go away without worrying and he gave the dogs excellent long walks and lots of attention. The cottage was immaculately clean when we came back and we can recommend him without reserve. He was friendly and pleasant in his communications. Thank you Volodymyr!Kay Burnett.

This was a very long eight week sit and Volodymyr was excellent throughout. His attention to detail meant that he asked a lot of questions and required quite detailed instructions during the first few days (via WhatsApp) but settled into a good routine after that. As he had no car, Cassava had to settle for local walks but as she is nearly 14 years old, she didn't mind!Nicolas Jarrett-Kerr. Falmouth, Cornwall, UK

Volodymyr was brilliant. When we first met he asked sensible questions and he took really good care of our elderly cat while we were away.

I went away relaxed and confident that Volodymyr was coming in to feed my cats as arranged. We had met beforehand and he was very thorough in gaining all the information from me regarding my 2 cats. He sent me photos each day including the food eaten and what he put down for them each day. I was so grateful for him coming in on Christmas Day and Boxing Day too. Thankyou!
