Pet care experience

I am a proud owner of two 'canine-children', the oldest of which is 12 years old. I have been taking care of my dogs since they were 3 months old and I love pets. I was raised in a pet loving family. Since childhood, I have owned or assisted with the care taking of cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, parakeets, dogs and even an African Lovebird. I have also had to nurse my dog (and a friends) after they had received medical care and were recovering from grave illnesses. If its patience, attention and affection with a dose of discipline that you are seeking- then I am your petsitter! I have personally had to take my dog to professional dog training and still use some of the lessons learned as necessary. I walk my dogs twice a day and take them out 3 times a day for a potty break. I understand the anxiety and concern that goes into the decision making process for choosing a boarding service. You can trust me with your pups. I will treat them like my own and send you periodic updates. We look forward to meeting you and your pup!

Iola is a lifesaver and excellent caretaker. She has watched Spike twice and both times she's exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend her!

Iola is a very caring sitter. She understands the needs of a senior dog and my little Gabby loved spending time with her and her pups. She's very accommodating and kept me posted during Gabby's visit. I would definitely recommend her to sit for your dog!

Iola was responsive and maintained professionalism throughout the process. From the moment I dropped Dragon off, to the time I picked him up. She listened and suggested how she was going to deal with Dragons extreme anxiety. She sent pictures to assure me that Dragon was good. I'll definitely rely on her services in the future and definitely recommend her, especially if you have a special needs dog
