Pet care experience

Reliable, Easy-Going and Friendly

I have been around animals all my life, for as long as I can remember my family has always had at least 2 dogs. I am most familiar with high energy breeds like German shorthaired pointers or border collies, but have dog-sat for neighbors and friends with calmer breeds as well. I also have owned cats for most of my life, and am very comfortable with them. I also can care for larger animals such as horses, cows, or pigs, all of which I have at home as well and am comfortable around. In my pet sitting adventures I have met many new friends, including snakes, lizards and even birds of prey! I have been pet-sitting on my own for about 4 years now, ever since I got my driver's license.

Safety, trust & environment

I love animals, and whenever I pet sit I give every animal I care for the best treatment possible. I will try to keep them on a schedule if they already have one, or if they are more go with the flow, that works for me too. Whatever they are comfortable with I will adapt to.

Irene did a great job watching our two kittens and adult cat while we were on vacation. She was very attentive, thoughtful, and responsive. She made sure our fur babies were taken care of which allowed us to enjoy our time away with no worries. Thank you Irene!

Irene always takes such good care of my asthmatic fur baby! I love having a local animal lover in the community I can pretty much always rely on to love on my cat while I’m away. 12/10 recommend her for all your pet care needs!

Schedule

I currently work full-time but have a flexible schedule that allows me to cater my workday to the needs of your pets! I will adjust my day to mimic your own as much as I can, as I feel this method helps keep pets in their normal routine and happier overall. If your pet likes to go on car rides I am happy to oblige them, or if they prefer to lounge on the couch I love a cuddle buddy! Whatever your dogs normal is, I fit my day to their comfort!

Irene can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
I prefer to meet all of the pets I care for beforehand, as it lets them get to know me in a setting where the owners are present to reassure them! Some pets do ok with a stranger taking care of them with no introduction, but I prefer to know them for their sake and mine!
