Your fur baby's home away from home
Pet care experience
Hi! I'm Ivette! Thanks for taking the time to review my profile, as a potential host for your baby. I've been a dog owner for the past 20+ years and have cared for friend's and neighbor's pets, as well. Some of the pets have been elderly with medical issues, some have had special needs (prescription diets and allergies), some have been puppies, un-neutered dogs and some have been cats. I really love spending time with animals. There's no substitute for the unconditional love they give! I am an affectionate pet sitter and love to cuddle, hug and give kisses. If your furbaby is a cuddlebug too, then, look no further, Im your person 😊 As a sitter, I will provide daily updates and pics to you for your peace of mind. I understand how important and loved your furbaby is and I will provide as many check ins, as you request. Please feel free to ask questions for more info. I look forward to meeting you and your pup soon! ***Parents: Please be aware there is a 7 day cancelation policy. If you cancel within the 7 day period ( for any reason) before the reservation starts, you will only receive a 50% refund. Thank you!
Reviews
Ivette watched our little guy for the second time and was just as caring and communicative as the first time. Our dog was excited when we arrived and walked right up to her door ready to go in during drop off. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and enjoying his stay with her.
Ivette went above and beyond to take care of our dog, Nia, while we went to a festival in Austin. She spent time researching Nia’s health issues beforehand, asked many questions about Nias routines and needs and did everything right to make us feel comfortable leaving Nia for a couple of days. We got lots of updates and pictures throughout, and Ivette was super responsive making us feel way more comfortable leaving Nia there. I would definitely recommend Ivette to watch your dog anytime :)
Ivette has such a calming presence and is very caring and thoughtful. It was our first time using Rover and having our dog stay with someone new so we were nervous about how he would do but it was clear during our meet and greet that Ivette is very knowledgable and helped create a calming and welcoming space for our dog. She went above and beyond in sending updates and was also very thoughtful in having our dogs share space and be around one another which went very well. Hands down we’d recommend Ivette and are already looking at her calendar to make sure we book her in advance!
Ivette was a home away from home for my Roxie. I could really see that she loves animals and gives them the love they need in the absence of their owners. She’s also great at sending you photo updates too, I would definitely recommend Ivette!!!
About Ivette G.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard, a bucket full of dog toys, a large inflatable pool for water play on hot days, a nearby fenced dog park, hiking trails and a friendly dog at home that loves to play with other friendly dogs. I also have a dog crate and baby gate that can be used for safety, if needed. Pets are never allowed to be off leash, unless they are in a gated area.
Home
Information Ivette G. would like to know about your pet
For the health and safety of your pup, please let me know in advance, of any special needs, special schedules, dietary restrictions and or medications, etc. that your pup will require during their stay with me. I also require a meet and greet in advance with my dog, to ensure that it will be a fun time for both pups.
A typical day
Daily activities will be tailored to your pup's activity level, prefered interests, their age, health and abilities. For example, puppies will have more daily activities and exercise, like walks and play time because they need that for their development. Whereas, senior dogs may need to spend most of the day resting.
Services
Ivette can host
Availability
For the safety and comfort of your pet, I will only board 1 dog at a time (unless you have multiple dogs in your family) so that your pup receives plenty of attention and love. I am at home full time and can accomodate a variety of pet schedules and needs, such as, medication administration, potty breaks and frequent walks. And car rides too, if your pup enjoys that and you consent!
