Pet care experience

Affectionate & loving dog auntie

I work from home full time at a non-profit and have a flexible schedule. I have a spacious front lawn that dogs may use to sniff, pee, and explore to their leisure. If your dog needs frequent walks or playtime, I can certainly accommodate that. I've helped take care of my neighbor's dog since I was a teen. Many family friends would not hesitate to have their dog over at my place because they know how much love and attention I'd give! I am a dog auntie to a cute Alaskan Klee Kai with separation anxiety so I have experience with anxious dogs. I love taking dogs out either to play or walk because it encourages me to be healthier too.

Dog Walking • Aug 10, 2026

Irene was great. My dog loved her. She showed up when she said she would, took my dog on fabulous walks, and communicated with me as needed. I highly recommend her.

Dog Walking • Aug 02, 2026

So grateful we found Irene! My Pug, Simba eagerly awaited his walks with Irene while we were on vacation. Irene is conscientious, on time, and sends lots of pictures which we loved to see. Being away from our pooch isn’t easy, and Irene made it so much better. Thank you Irene!

Doggy Day Care • Jun 12, 2026

Irene loves dogs so much and is so attentive to dogs’ needs! She is so patient with dogs like mine that can be a little needy or a bit troublesome at times. She’s a great choice for watching all kinds of dogs but especially ones that need just a little bit more attention.

I’m so glad that I found Irene! The care and communication she provides gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She provided frequent photos and updates of how my doggo was doing. When I came to pick up Ollie, he seems to have already grown attached to Irene and Sean. Will definitely book again!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a spacious, clean single-family home home with a front lawn that dogs are free to explore and use. Although I have a fully fenced in backyard, there are several varieties of flowers that may be sensitive to dogs, so I will not allow access to the backyard if dogs have a tendency to eat flowers/plants

A typical day

There are lots of walking paths on my neighborhood. I can let dogs wander across several blocks, or we can visit one of the nearby parks. I am very close to Thornton State Beach. Let me know if you'd like me to take your dog there!

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Irene can host up to 1 pet per night
For safety reasons, I am unable to walk dogs over 80 lbs who have a strong tendency to pull on the leash. I have experience taking care of dogs who have bad separation anxiety, but owners should let me know ahead of time how much attention or service they would need.
