Loving Pup Care
Pet care experience
I live in a nice little "Curry House" on Dry Mill Rd in Leesburg, very close to Loudoun County High School. It is in a dog friendly, quiet and safe area. For the past twelve years I've had two wonderful pups, who were my family. They've both since gone over Rainbow Bridge; Scout lived to be 14 years old and Stormy was 10 years old when she passed. A few years ago, I welcomed Bella into my life, a delightful and even-tempered foxhound rescue. In the last year I rescued a beagle, Honey, and a husband, John; both are loving but challenging. In the last few months, we adopted Frankie, aka "Francois" or "Franz," a Treeing Walker Coonhound. I would love the opportunity to help pups in need of care while their families may be away or unable to care for them. During visits, they will be doted on and you will be kept updated on their adventures. I work full time, so I am only open to visits and walks on weekends and some holidays. I have some flexibility, so if you have any questions, contact me and we can probably work it out. Once booked, I fully understand that plans change - if that is the case, just send me a text/note as soon as possible and we will adjust as needed.
Reviews
Iris did an excellent job boarding our dog! She was very responsive with all communication and took wonderful care of our dog--and got him much-needed exercise. Highly recommend!
I had a positive experience with Iris!! She is easy to work with and she's a true dog lover. My dog was relaxed when I picked him up which says a lot. She sent me updates and very nice pics of my pup which I really appreciated. I hope to work with Iris again if she's available. Thanks Iris!
The only person other then Iris who would take better care of your dog is you. If you are not available, give Iris a chance to be responsible and love up your pooch.
I highly recommend Iris Pollock as a pet care giver. She is so thoughtful, kind and cheerful to all, especially our four legged friends and family members. I had the pleasure of helping Iris purchase a home. During our first conversation she made clear that her new home needed to be a good match for her pups. She stayed true to that idea though-out the process and made careful considerations regarding floor plans and locations that would work best for her pups. Iris and I have maintained a friendship after our transaction. She is a woman of intelligence and integrity whom I trust explicitly. I would love to have her spend time with my dogs and am sure you will too.

Safety, trust & environment
I no longer care for pups in my home because three is enough, but I am happy to make pup visits and walks in their homes and neighborhoods. I am flexible to meet the needs of the pups and adhere to clients' wishes.
Information Iris P. would like to know about your pet
Meet and greet is required. It is important to know if it is a good fit for everyone involved. A trained dog is an added bonus. I would like to know about your dog's personality, how they get along with other dogs, favorite things to do, how active he/she is, any medical issues I should look out for, etc.
A typical day
I live near the WO&D trail and Ida Lee Park - lots of walking/running trails and neighborhoods to visit. I am an early riser and like to get my exercise by waking or running in the area - morning and evening walks/runs as well as midday breaks for stretching and playing a bit. I will send you lots of updates through the Rover app, but am happy to connect by phone or video if you miss your pup ant want to chat.
