Pet care experience

Let’s take walks in Ocean Pines

I’ve taken care of dogs for over 10 years. Puppies, senior dogs, special needs dogs. My fur baby Dewey got blind a while ago so we can’t do a lot of fun stuff together anymore. I miss us walking and playing. I hope I get to do that again walking pups in the neighborhood.

Our mini golden doodle, Zuko, felt right at home with Irena and Loui. Knowing he was in great hands helped us relax while we were away for 10 days. She updated us everyday. We will be back to Irena on our next trip! Thank you !

Can’t say enough how well our Sally was treated on her vacation from us! Irena and her family welcomed Sally as one of their own while we were away! Irena sent photo updates to us and we knew our girl was being well taken care of! Vacationing in Ocean City at a pet-unfriendly place? Bring your furbaby to Irena during your stay. Live in Ocean Pines or thereabouts? Irena is the perfect person to take in your beloved while you’re away!

Irena took wonderful care of our pup! She was patient and gentle when our dog was feeling shy, and kept us updated with quick communication!
