Information Irene A. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

I like to take them for neighborhood walks, to the park, and fetching at my home yard. Also, I like to play hide and treat, and the towel puzzle.

I love your pet like my own!

Pet care experience

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 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!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
