HI
I am a 37 y.o., non-smoking, solo traveler who works remotely and has the privilege of being free and traveling the world. I love animals and grew up with cats (Persik, my family cat, lived 18 years and was like a little brother to me). My earliest memory of loving animals was sneaking out of my bed at night as a young child to lay on the kitchen floor beside a homemade bed in a box with a rescued newborn kitty who just wanted comfort.
I am a stylist working remotely from home, so your pets won’t be alone. A relaxing home retreat is always my favorite, and I also enjoy visiting new communities, meeting new people, and making new furry friends.
In addition to spoiling your fur babies, I am meticulous in the care of your home. I find joy in taking care of homes as if they were my own, and I take special pride in leaving your home exactly how you left it. I am thrilled to be your security presence while you are away, and I love caring for your plants. That said, I am no slouch when it comes to home repairs and maintenance; that just comes with the package when you are decorator and have always been your dad’s sidekick for home repair.
I'm honest, reliable, and clean, and I will treat your home (and animals) with the love and attention they deserve. Taking care of the post, watering plants, and putting out bins while you're away is something I'm happy to do.
I look forward to speaking with you about your needs and finding a mutually beneficial homestay!
ABOUT
My name is Irina, which means "peace" and that's exactly what I am - a calm, compassionate and caring person. I am a fashion & interior stylist working remotely for Europe's largest personal styling service. My passion is vintage, antiques and sustainability. I believe that material things such as clothes, furniture or a house are an extension of a person's soul and inner world. I will take care of the comfort and beauty of your space, as well as the well-being of your pets and plants.
I enjoy spending my free time hiking, exploring new places and reading. I have always been interested in new cities, towns and exploring our amazing planet.
WHY I WANT TO HOUSE SIT
I have been living in Porto, Portugal since 2022 and I feel I have found my place in the world. My dream is to buy an old house here and renovate it. But before I realise my dream of owning my own house and settling down, I want to see a little more of the world.
I love traveling and exploring the world when I have the time and flexibility to do so! That’s why I've found House sitting to be fabulous! I love meeting new people and their furry pets, and enjoy the extra companionship and comfort of being in a home with pets.
I especially love cats and small dogs. My lifestyle does not currently allow me to have pets, but when my 18-year old ginger cat died, I promised myself that I would get a pet when I had my own house, garden and enough space.

Frankfurt, Germany - November 2024
Irina was very wonderful. Our cats loved her from Day 1, which is a very important detail to take note of. she was very nice as well and easy to get along with, keeps us frequently informed and kept our apartment in really good shape. We´ve also had some things to deal with in terms of receiving packages and sending packages and irina was more than willing to help. I would host her again in a heartbeat whenever she wishes to come back. Highly recommended.
Vichy, France - October 2024
I met Irina 2 days before I left for Brazil and I already knew she was the perfect cat-sitter for Biscuit. She is sweet, very organized and respectful. She works at home which was ideal for my cat who is used to have me around almost all day long. Irina sent me every other day picures and videos of Biscuit who was obviously happy with her. When I came back home, the house was super clean and exactly as I left it. She absolutely loved Vichy so I left her my bike to go exploring the surroundings. I recommend Irina with "my eyes closed" (as we say in French) and the experience was so good that we intend to repeat it next year when I will go to Italy and Japan.
