Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring & attentive doggy companion
I grew up with two German Shepherds and personally trained one from puppyhood. I've even helped deliver and care for a litter of 7 healthy puppies, so I understand dogs at every stage of life, from their needs to their quirks! While doggos hold a special place in my heart, I grew up around lots of different animals including a bunny (which I personally cared for), turtles, cats and their kittens, a hedgehog as well as birds! Needless to say I absolutely love animals. I'm the person who's always first to play, give attention and belly rubs, and make sure every dog gets the attention and exercise they deserve. I work from home and daily walks are already part of my routine (I walk everywhere!) so your dog will get genuine attention, active time (not just a quick trip around the block) and won't feel lonely! Whether your pup needs a high-energy play session, or just a calm, caring presence, I bring hands-on experience and genuine love for dogs. Your furry friend won't just be left on their own, they'll be loved, engaged, and happy. Your dog's tail will tell you everything when you pick them up.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
My apartment is cozy with plenty of space for mini play sessions, whether that's fetch in the living room, tug-of-war in the office, or just relaxing together while I work. I adapt to each dog's personality and energy, so high-energy pups get their playtime and mellower dogs get a calm, comfortable environment with someone always by their side. One note: Since I work from my apartment and sometimes need to take calls, dogs who are quieter or moderate barkers tend to do best in my space. If your pup is vocal, just let me know and we can discuss if it's a good fit! In your space: I adapt to your pups personality!
Ratings and reviews
Best pet sitter ever! Ioni was great and responded quickly and professionally to all our requests. Great attitude and work ❤️
Ioni was so great with the boys!
Ioni was great with Maple! Will for sure rebook when I need a last minute dog walker!
What to say... Ioni is simply a god sent for our little girl✨ She always goes the extra mille for her, proving her : Safety, amazing care, unique companionship, healthy/sporty walks, plays and lots of Loving! Never thought that someone could be more devoted (almost) than us with our baby girl Nugget! Ioni always cleans her paws, even her jacket agter every walk even though it hasn't been asked, she always checks for ger water making sure she is not missing anything and the way she explanes her time with our pet ... Is always delightful to read! Ioni is one of her kind let me tell you, she is a natural and she is doing everytjing with passion and love and you can tell every single time. Every time she comes visit our Nugget, it feels like she is doing more than expected, quality time = 1000% Care giving = 1000% On time = 1000% devoted = 1000% Ioni is just the best of All Thank you for everything 🥹
Ioni is really nice, friendly, professionsl, open minded and devoted. She really seems to love working with pets you can tell. I like that she communicates very well making herself available to you before/after a walk. She seems to be also a great observator because she offered to walk our puppy at the park instead of on the street seeing thst she likes more walking on the snow than on concret (winter time) even with boots. I really liked that even though it's only a small detail. Great walk, a run and play time with great care and love towards our baby girl ... for a 1st timer, looks like Ioni is a catch! :) she loves what she does and you can tell.
On time, great attitude, super kind to our dog and our dog loved her!

Schedule
I run my own business from home, which means that Monday to Friday, I have a flexible schedule that's perfect for dog care. Your pup will be with me throughout the day in my office space, with full access to roam the living room, kitchen, hallway, and bathroom whenever they want. I take daily walks, rain or shine (unless it's freezing rain or a major snowstorm!) ranging from 20 minutes to an hour depending on the weather and your dog's energy level. I also take plenty of breaks in between, which is perfect timing for play sessions, potty breaks, or just some quality cuddle time. I can work from anywhere Monday to Friday and if I need to be on a Zoom call it usually takes 60 minutes, but that's no more than 2 calls a day at most. Saturday and Sundays I don't usually need to be on Zoom calls so I am even more flexible.

- Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, dietary restrictions, or specific behaviors I should be aware of. Things like separation anxiety, reactivity to other dogs, medication schedules, or favorite toys/routines help me provide the best care possible. WHEN PET SITTING AT MY HOUSE: My preference is for breeds that are small to medium size and doggos that have moderate energy and are low barkers since I work from my apartment and take occasional calls. WHEN PET SITTING AT YOUR HOUSE OR FOR DAILY WALKS: I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds!
