Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Irene and I have always loved animals since I was a child. Growing up I fed and cared for stray cats and cared for small animals of my own such as birds, Guinea Pigs, and hamsters. I also helped my senior neighbors with caring for their dogs. During my teenage years up until recently, I cared for my own dog, a spunky Jack Russell Terrier. Our favorite thing to do together was going for walks and exploring. I had the pleasure of caring for my precious girl for 12 years. I have 6+ years of experience working professionally with animals as a vet assistant.
Reviews
Irene is great! My kitty is diabetic and needs her blood sugar tested and insulin injections 2x/day. She also had a skin irritation that needed to be cleaned and bandaged twice a day. Irene did it all and took great care of my baby while I was gone.
Irene is absolutely amazing and wonderful! I never worried about my pets in her care. Highly recommend!
If you are looking for someone to take care of your pet while you are away, Irene is an excellent option. I have had Irene watch my two dogs for me on two occasions while I have had to travel for work, and I have been impressed both times! Irene was never afraid to reach out to me if she ever had a concern and she would always make sure to update me with how they were doing. I felt comfortable allowing Irene to come into my house, she is very polite and considerate, and I have felt like my dogs have been in good hands both times!
Irene is amazing! Very professional, trustworthy and truly cares for all animals. 100% recommend! She also has years of animal care experience which provides comfort if pets need medications given!
About Irene J.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes. When walking dogs, they will be leashed all times and prefer a non-retractable leash as they are more safe. If your cat is an indoor/outdoor cat, I will prefer to keep all cats indoor while in my care.
Information Irene J. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any special needs your pet may have such as if they are epileptic, diabetic, or any other health issues. Also let me know of any environmental/food allergies and friendliness towards people and other dogs.
A typical day
I love going for walks with dogs, giving them the chance to get the physical and mental stimulation that they need. Walks will be focused on getting proper exercise and also giving time for your pet to be a dog and sniff those interesting smells they all enjoy.
