Pet care experience

I’m Ioana and I love dogs! Throughout my life, I’ve spent time with many different animals, and I’ve always had a dog around. My grandparents on both sides owned mini farms. Growing up, I helped them care for the animals, and I love every second of it. As an adult, I’ve owned two Giant Schnauzers and a cat. I don’t have a pet of my own at the moment, and I have not worked with canines in a professional capacity. However, I’m very in-tune with the energy and language of dogs. I know how to look after them and how to customize the care I provide based on a pup’s unique needs and personality.

Ioana was absolutely amazing with our boys. She sent pictures every time they went for a walk, and she even took them on a fun adventure to the park. She was very communicative the entire time which allowed us to not worry too much while we were gone and we appreciated it so much. Our boys took to her immediately, and she spent plenty of time with them every day. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Ioana!

Ioana is dependable and very good with my dog, Jet. I love that she cares enough to send me details of their daily walks and activities! ♥️😀

Ioana was great! She took good care of our dog and sent us regular updates and pictures. I would definitely use her again to stay with our dog.

Ioana stayed with my dog, Poland, at my house for the weekend and she did an amazing job! Poland was well fed and walked and he had a blast and best of all, he wasn't lonely. Ioana was super respectful with my house and everything was clean when I came back. She even left me a very thoughtful wedding card and gift since I was getting married. I will always hire her to take care of Poland! He loves her!

We can do whatever your fur baby wants! If they are feeling anxious, I’ll try to comfort them while respecting their space if they need some time to get used to me.

Information Ioana N. would like to know about your pet

Before booking a new client, I always as the owner as many questions as possible about their dog. I’d like to know if your pet has any triggers, such as loud noises, other animals, children, groups of people, water, or loud noises. Does your pup take any medications? Are they up-to-date on their vaccines? How about a flea/tick preventative? For overnight boarding services and day sitting in my home, I ask that your pet arrives clean.

A typical day

When I meet a new pooch, I’ll start by talking to them in a calm voice. Then I’ll observe their energy, temperament, and the way they interact with their owner. Next, I’ll play a game with them or offer a toy. Maybe they like sticks, playing fetch, being chased, or going on walks. We can do whatever your fur baby wants! If they are feeling anxious, I’ll try to comfort them while respecting their space if they need some time to get used to me. Your precious dog will get plenty of walks, playtime, and belly rubs. While you’re away, you won’t need to wonder how your pooch is doing. You can look forward to daily pictures, texts, and updates about your fur baby. I’m excited to meet you and your pet –– thank you in advance for your consideration!
