Ianthe can care for
Availability
Pet care fits in cleanly — not squeezed in. I keep my schedule intentional, so when I commit to a visit, your pet gets my full attention, not whatever time is left over. I’m consistent, on time, and mindful of routines — because that’s what actually keeps pets settled.

Safety, trust & environment
I treat your home like it’s yours — and your pet like they’re paying attention (because they are). I follow instructions closely, keep things clean and orderly, and stay aware of your pet’s behavior and environment at all times. No shortcuts, no guesswork — just attentive, reliable care so everything feels exactly as it should when you return.
Information Ianthe D. would like to know about your pet
Tell me who your pet actually is. Are they sweet? Dramatic? A little manipulative? Do they test boundaries with new people? I’m good with personality — I just like to know what I’m walking into so I can handle them the way you do. The more I understand their personality, the better I can match your approach — so they feel comfortable and don’t try anything new just because I’m the “fun aunt.” Also let me know their favorites: toys, treats, routines, and anything that keeps them happy and settled.
A typical day
Calm, structured, and centered around your pet — not me. Visits are purposeful: feeding, fresh water, light play or walks, and making sure your pet is comfortable and settled. I don’t rush in and out — I take the time to make the visit feel complete, not transactional.

Pet care experience
I’m not here to “just stop by.” I’m here to do it properly. I notice what’s off, what’s needed, and what keeps your pet settled — and I handle it without making it a production. You get thoughtful updates, a respected home, and a pet that feels like nothing’s been disrupted.

Reviews
Ianthe did an excellent job caring for my cats while staying at my home. She was detail oriented, reliable, and performed exactly as promised. The cats were well looked after and the house was just as I left it, calm and orderly. It’s always a relief to come home to happy pets and a peaceful home. Highly recommend her services!
Truly the best dog sitter / house sitter!! A true pleasure to work with. She's calm, professional, kind. She takes care of things, she sends photos, she communicates anything needed. I feel at ease when she's at my home and with the dogs. I've been fortunate enough to work with Ianthe twice and look forward to doing so again.
By far the best cat sitter we have ever found. We returned home to a purring, contented little guy - fluffy and well groomed. The house was also immaculate and all the plants, mail - everything had clearly been given attention and care. Ianthe is a total pro, I felt 1000% safe and secure knowing she was minding things at home. And her photo updates were funny and sweet - she’s kind of a riot, and an excellent communicator. She goes the extra mile to offer real care. Recommended wholeheartedly!
Ianthe was the best dog walker. Was on time, communicated in a timely manner and even sent lots of pictures! I can’t recommend her enough :)
