Pet care experience

Animal Lover that Works from Home!

I’m the designated pet sitter/dog walker for all my friends and a few neighbors. My experience includes taking care of dogs of all ages (including puppies and seniors) and various sizes. In addition to temporary assignments, I have also regularly taken care of a friend’s dog for over 2 years after she moved away. My responsibilities include daily care such as walking, feeding, and playing with the dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

When pet sitting, I make sure the dog has everything he/she needs before leaving, whether it’s fresh food or water. I also designate play time throughout the day to keep the dog stimulated. When dog walking, I’m very careful about leash/harness application. I’m also aware of my surroundings to adjust to the dog’s personality (I.e. if the dog isn’t friendly to other dogs/people).

Irene is a true gem -- reliable, communicative and truly cares about my dog. I've been a repeat client for about a year now. Would highly recommend her for walks and playtime.

Really appreciative of Irene's help the past month, not only walking my dog but helping to feed him a specific diet when he was sick. She really went above and beyond and I'm super grateful for her assistance. 5-Stars for Irene all around!

Irene goes above and beyond when caring for your dog! She is great with walks, pictures and communications. I know my pup is in great hands whenever she is with him. Couldn’t recommend her enough!

It’s important for me to know the dog’s personality, triggers/fears, habits, and food/snack preferences. I also need to know if the dog does not get along with strangers or other dogs in case we run into them while walking.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
