Loves animals of all kinds!

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm currently an at-home full time university student, and I grew up surrounded with a variety of animals my whole life. I've owned anything from turtles, hermit crabs, parakeets, cats, and of course dogs. I have over 10 years of experience caring for friends and family's pets, from hamsters to dogs, and adopted my own chihuahua mix named Joan 7 years ago. I also have experience providing foster care for shelter dogs. It's a given that I love all types and personalities of animals, big and small! I'm also currently also a dog walker on Wag. I will provide your pet with the same amount of care, love, and attention as I do for my own pets, whether it's just a walk or a multi-day boarding! There are three small to large parks near me with plenty of grass fields that I will rotate taking your dogs to during walks. I also have a backyard for your dogs to go potty or just relax and sunbathe in, as my dog likes to do! Your dogs would be staying in the same room as me and loved and cared for every minute of their stay. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member!

Bodie stayed with Irene for 2 weeks boarding. He always has a great time there and I know he is well taken care of. I will definitely use her services again the next time I am out of town.

Irene took good care of our dog. He was with her for 2 weeks, and he came back a healthy, happy dog. During the stay Irene kept us updated with photos and messages. Overall, a good experience for both the dog and us.

Information Irene H. would like to know about your pet

What does your dog like to do on walks? Are they treat or play motivated? When do they usually eat and go for walk or potty breaks? Do they have a favorite toy or activity? Do they have any food allergies? How does your dog respond to strangers and other dogs or pets? Do they have any recall training and can be let off leash at the park? Are there any other behaviors or needs I should be aware of?

A typical day

I will adapt to your dogs needs - if your dog needs exercise, we'll go for a run! If your dog likes to play fetch, we'll head to the local park. If your dog just likes to sniff around and be outside, that's fine too! And if your dog is low energy or doesn't like to exercise, we can take our time on walks too.
