“I can’t thank Ivonka enough for taking the time to watch my cats over the holidays! They all warmed up to her super quickly and I know they were in good hands this week with someone who has an amazing passion of caring for animals. I received lots of photos of them having a fun time playing and eating their meals while I was out of town. I highly recommend her services!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Even though I’ve never owned one personally, I’ve always been the first to step into ‘owner mode’ whenever a puppy or dog needed love, attention, or comfort. Animals have a special place in my heart, and I genuinely enjoy giving them affection, patience, and care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away :) I’m currently working part-time and also in school, so my weekly schedule can vary. However, I’m typically available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and I often have open availability during weekdays as well. I’m flexible and can usually adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely and keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I’m gentle, patient, and very attentive to each animal’s comfort level. I make sure food, water, and potty breaks are handled safely, and I always keep doors and gates secure. I also send updates and photos during every visit so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away :))

About: Experience with dogs, cats, and more. Does your pet need medication? I’m comfortable with giving meds orally, subq and IM. I can also trim nails. I’ll love your fur babies as if they were my own 💕 I’ve been taking care of friends’ and neighbors’ pets my whole life. I’m a stay at home mom of two older teenage boys, so I have plenty of time to spoil all your pets! My schedule is very flexible so I can work around your needs. I have a fenced yard and lots of room to play. I can board your small caged animals in my home. I always send my boarder’s parents pictures and videos of their babies. Communication is key!

About: I have worked at the animal shelter for the past 4 years when home from college and I have 4 dogs of my own at home :) I love all animals especially dogs I have a 9-5 during the week with flexible hours giving me time to care for animals before and after work. I also work remote on Wednesdays and Fridays so I am free anytime those days and weekends to care for animals. I have a fenced in yard and dogs of my own that your dogs can play with. I can also crate your dog or do any other requests that the animal would normally do in their own home.

About: Hello! I am a very active individual who loves to engage and play with pets. I consider myself an avid runner, and have never shied away from taking pets with me. I am very used to walking and caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. For daycare, I work from home full time and have a large fenced in yard that all dogs love! I currently have two pets, a 1 year old pup named Vasher and a orange tabby cat named Locke. Vasher is a golden retriever / German shepherd mix who is the best boy. He already weighs over 70 lb! He loves to play, run around, and talk to us with his buttons. He is extremely friendly and loves to make new friends, both human and dog alike. Locke will make friends with any person he meets. I also helped raised my parents dog Leine, who is a 90lb tree walker cooonhound. She is the sweetest pup at 10 years old. I have watched and cared for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, but you can probably tell I have a special place for large playful dogs. If you're looking for somewhere to drop off your dog for the day where they will have a huge yard and a playmate, I'm your guy. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! I currently work remotely! My schedule is entirely flexible, so I will be able to take care of your pet at any time of the day. If you have a set schedule for walking/feeding/playing, I'll be able to stick to it without any issues. I will care for your pet by paying attention to their needs, whether it be playing, cuddling, or feeding. I will keep them as active as possible, and would be happy to run them around the yard or neighborhood. I am very willing to follow whatever instructions you have for your pet.

If you need someone to take care of your senior dog when you need to be away I highly recommend Derek. He is very reliable and sends detailed information about his visit as well as several photos. I will continue to use his services again in the future.

Grace is awesome! She saved us for a last minute visit for our older dog who needed a midday bathroom break. She came out the night before after working all day to meet us and our pets and go over our pets needs. During the first visit we got a video, photos and report card from the visit. She was very personable and we could tell in the video our pets were excited to see her when she arrived. Just know if you hire Grace, your pets are in good hands.
