Dog Groomer turned Dog Sitter

Along with owning my own pets for over 10 years, I’ve also been in the pet industry with being a dog groomer for almost 9 years now! I’ve cared for all kinds of breeds from small chihuahuas to big newfoundlands! I’ve also trained my own pets along with training my own service dog for detected on coming migraines.

Super flexible and friendly. Irene has watched my dog Roxie twice now and I trust her. Always responds quickly. She’s great!

Our Mini Schnauzer spent 2 weeks with Irene. We got plenty of updates and pictures and would 100% use her again as a trusted pet sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and a friendly Doodle for play time, I also have a separate area for my dog if your dog prefers only people to play with. I have multiple soft comfy couches big enough for belly rubs and cuddles! With owning my own grooming salon I also make sure my house is always clean and sanitized with disinfectant just like at my grooming salon. I am also available for drop in visits to come over and let your pup out to potty, play time, cuddle time and feed time! Customize what your pet needs to feel comfortable when your away is my main focus! I want your pet to feel like one of my own with all the love and the care I show mine.

The most important information is always what is your pups likes and dislikes. For example some pets don’t like other pets and that’s okay. We can work with that. Others might do better with another furry companion. The goal is to always know ahead of time to make your pet feel right at home!
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.
