Pet care experience

I love your pet like my own!

I had dogs as a child and we have had dogs at home since 2004. In addition, I have house and pet sitting experience for the last 5 years. I am retired and possibly working part time in the future. Our first dog passed away 2 years ago and our second dog passed away 3 months ago, two months after my husband’s passing. Our third dog ended up moving away with our oldest daughter. Now I have time to take care of others’ pets as if they were my own but keeping my flexibility to travel. I have a fenced yard and can easily crate your dog if needed. I enjoy walking with them and keeping them close to me at nights.

Irene was wonderful with my two dogs. Even Sasha who is extremely shy warmed right up to her. Both even ran back to give her a farewell when I picked them up. I was attending a family wedding in Connecticut and I am living in Florida. Irene made me so comfortable leaving them so I could enjoy myself. She even met with me before-hand since I am from out of town and was nervous leaving them. It was a great experience for my pups and myself. thanks Irene and Rover!

Irene is the best and our pup loves to hang with her. He enjoys her sunny fenced-in front yard. She also sends pictures and updates during his stay. We look forward to working with Irene again in the future!

My family and I were going out of the country for the holidays and were very nervous about leaving our Coal with someone new. Thankfully we found Irene who was able to do a practice evening prior to our trip. She took great care of Coal and even administered eye ointment during his stay as he developed an infection just before we had to leave. I highly recommend using Irene!

Irene is very sweet and good with dogs. Her yard is great for a little dog like mine to run around in.

0 to 15 lbs

I think it’s important to know the feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, brushing needs, and the kind of interaction and behavior with other dogs. Also, the sleeping habits -what to expect at night.
