Did an absolute amazing job taking care of my fur babies. My dog is an anxious girl and Ioana did a great job handling her and treating her with kindness. They were good buddies by the end of her visits!

This was the second time that Thea has come and done drop-in visits with our cat while we were out of town, and I think he officially has fallen in love with her! We love the pictures/videos that she takes during the visits and always includes a great summary of the activities of the visit.

About: I have had dogs in my family since I was little and adopted a little tuxedo cat two years ago. I have worked for various humane societies and watched family and friends pets for the past 8 years. Happy to watch dogs or cats! I will be available full-time from June through early August, so pet care will be a central part of my daily routine. With a very flexible schedule, I’m able to prioritize each pet’s unique needs, whether that means regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just providing companionship. I'm committed to giving pets consistent attention and care throughout the day and adapting to any specific routines they may already have. Since I’m not able to have pets in my apartment, I provide care in my clients' homes. I focus on maintaining the pet’s regular routine in a familiar environment, which helps reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication, or just spending quality time together. I also make sure to keep the home tidy and follow any specific instructions the owner provides.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats of all sizes my whole life, though I’ve owned my personal dog for less than a year. For years I’ve been the go-to friend and family member to watch dogs and cats and I love it! My family bred bulldogs growing up so I have experience with the youngest of puppies to old friends in their senior years! I’ve never met an animal that I didn’t love!! I work full-time as a pediatric ICU nurse rotating days and nights, so on my days off, I am completely free for multiple check-ins or walks. I work 3-4 shifts a week. I live in a spacious, open-concept apartment with gates for a play-pen as well as a crate if I ever need to separate dogs from one another!

Sophie was amazing! She took great care of our two dogs while we were away. She was super communicative and sent lots of photos, which we appreciated. She also seemed to really know and understand what our dogs needed. One of our dogs has a bit of anxiety, and sometimes really just needs someone to sit on the couch with her until she gets comfortable. Sophie seemed to really take note of that need and provided our dogs with lots of love and comfort. I’m sure our dogs can’t wait to have Sophie back!
