Oscar has been going to Irene for a few years now and we truly love her. She always sends pictures and updates and he is always so happy to see her. She is kind, reliable and always does her best to help us, even on short notice. We highly recommend her!

Irene is wonderful. Things fell through with my regular sitter at the last minute and Irene was kind enough to take Roxie with only a few hours notice. Roxie was very happy and content at Irene's. Irene gave her a lot of love and took excellent care of her. It is important to me that a dog caregiver not only meets Roxie's physical needs but also her emotional needs for love and attention. I am confident that Irene met all of Roxie's needs while I was away. I would absolutely leave Roxie with her again in the future.

We felt really comfortable boarding our pup at Irene’s place. She’s welcoming and very friendly with us. It’s the second time boarding our pet with her. She sends pics on time and listens to every detail that we mention. Sasha (our pet) is very happy to see Irene’s family every time we leave her with them. 100% recommend her.

Irene and her family were welcoming and amazing with Kasper. She put him right at ease during meet-and-greet and this really helped with the drop off. I strongly recommend her!

First time having Irene sit for my dog and she was great. You can tell from the way she talks about dogs that she is knowledgeable and knows how to understand their needs. She also sent pictures regularly and communicated with me right away when I asked how things were going while on vacation. I feel very comfortable having Rumble stay with her and would recommend.

Schedule

I have always had dogs, so I can understand the anxieties that dog owners go through when looking for a sitter. I regularly dog sit my brother's two dogs, as he travels for work, so the family is more than familiar with having multiple dogs stay with us overnight! I realize the importance and need for dog owners to know that their dogs are protected, safe, and well cared for.
