Pet care experience
Loving, Reliable Pet Care!
Hi there! I'm a semi-retired animal lover with a soft spot for dogs of all shapes and sizes. With a flexible schedule and a heart full of love for furry companions, I’m excited to offer reliable, attentive pet sitting services to families in my area. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life—whether it's walking, feeding, playing, or simply providing comfort and companionship while their humans are away. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. As I build my client base, I'm especially hoping to form long-term relationships with pet parents who are looking for a consistent, dependable sitter. Whether you need someone for daily drop-ins or vacation care, I’m here to help—always with love, patience, and a calm presence. Let’s chat and see if I’m the right fit for your furry friend! I can’t wait to meet you both.

Safety, trust & environment
When I care for pets in my clients’ homes, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of affection and playtime, and of course, I always do a quick clean-up if needed—whether it’s litter boxes, food bowls, or little messes. For dog walking, I tailor each walk to the dog’s age, energy level, and personality. Whether it’s a brisk walk for exercise or a slower stroll with time to sniff around, I make sure your pup gets quality time and attention. I always prioritize safety by using secure leashes and being mindful of weather conditions and surroundings. My goal is to treat every pet with the same love and care I’d want for my own, so you can feel completely at ease while you're away.
Ratings and reviews
Irene always does a great job taking care of my old girl. She's reliable, communicates well, and my dog, Sammie, loves her. I highly recommend trusting Irene with your fur babies!
Irene has walked and taken care of my dog MiA for the past couple of months. MIA just loves Irene she gets all excited when Irene shows up.
Irene is great! My cats love her and generally they're a bit wary of just about everyone. It really takes someone special to get my cats comfortable with someone so quickly. I would definitely recommend her to take care of your pets. ❤️
Irene has been an absolute blessing for our family! She cared for our two big dogs, Sammie and Charlie, like they were her own. Reliable, loving, and incredibly patient—even our shy Charlie warmed up to her right away. We trust her completely and are so grateful to have found someone who gives us true peace of mind. Highly recommend.

Schedule
As a semi-retired person with a flexible schedule, pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I truly enjoy starting and ending my days with meaningful time spent caring for animals—whether it’s a morning walk, an afternoon visit, or an overnight stay. Because I’m not juggling a full-time job, I can give pets the attention they deserve without being rushed. My days often revolve around the needs of the pets I’m caring for, and I’m happy to adjust my routine to match theirs—whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication, or just making sure they get plenty of love and playtime. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I look forward to every day.
