Hello! my name is Irene and i live in nw okc, I have always had a love for animals which turned into me furthering a career as a veterinary assistant in 2021-2023. i have expierence with dogs, cats, senior pets, small pets and exotics like reptiles, rats, guinea pigs, etc, and pets with special needs and administering medicine! I am confident in my experience with fearfull pets and my ability to know their body language and their boundaries. I found my passion in cosmetology in 2023 and have worked as a hairstylist in midtown okc since, but have stayed true to my animal roots by petsitting for about 3 years now! i also love to be active so im glad to give your high energy pet the love he/she deserves. My goal is to make you and your pet/pets comfortable during your time away🫶

Irene is the BEST! I left in a pinch and was needing help with my new puppy and seven year old husky for a few nights. I have only ever had my sister help me out with my pups in the past.. but now I have Irene! Your babies will receive the best love and care! I got photos, videos and personal messages throughout her stay. I came back and it was like I hadn’t left at all! I cannot recommend her enough.

Irene sat for my cats for 2 years now, and she is the best!! She sends updates and photos or videos every day! She stays to spend time just hanging out with them, not just feeding and leaving. She’s so sweet and thoughtful and really loves animals. I trust her completely with my home and my fur babies.

"Irene did an amazing job caring for my dog waffles while I was out of town. She was highly reliable, followed all care instructions perfectly, and kept me updated the entire time even sending photos. It was such a relief knowing waffles was in THEE best hands. Waffles was such a happy dog when I got back, hed rate her 10/10 🐾 Irene is incredibly trustworthy, responsible, and respectful of her clients and their pets. Highly recommend booking with her and you'll have no worries about your pets while shes watching over them.

Irene has watched my pets on multiple occasions and does a fantastic job! I recommend her to anyone I know in need of a reliable person to watch and care for their fur babies. My eldest cat is on quite a few prescriptions and she does a wonderful job making sure he gets all of his medication! She is punctual, communicative, and has a big heart for animals.

Irene could not be more honest and trustworthy. I’m always upset if it’s not her with my animals she truly loves them and gives them all of the attention that they deserve while we’re away. She has house-sat for me for 2 1/2 years and we go out of town for up to 10 days at least once a year. If you want someone to care for your animals like you would she is the one.
