Ira and her husband are amazing! Our dog is a very anxious dog. They have won her over - she will roll on her back for belly rubs. Ira also incredibly communicative- in a positive way. She sends screen shots of the walking routes, along with a few pictures and videos each day. We always knew things were going well. She also took great care of the house when we were gone - taking out the garbage, etc. She even washed the sheets and put them back on the bed clean before she left. She did everything perfectly! We trust her completely and could not ask for better. We have used her for every trip we’ve been on for the last two years - and will keep doing so.

Ira looked after our boy Murphy twice and she was excellent! It was clear that from the moment Murphy met Ira that he felt very comfortable around her and trusting. Ira is reliable, professional, and truly cares about animals. We always felt like Murphy was in good hands. Thanks!

We are so grateful to Ira for looking after our bulldog, Benson. She is kind, caring, communicative, and clearly a highly experienced sitter. We'd be delighted to host her again (Benson misses her!), and recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.
