Safety, trust & environment

I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. In your home, I follow your instructions closely for walks, feeding, and care so things feel familiar and stress-free. I’m attentive to safety, use proper leash handling, and adjust each walk to your dog’s energy level—whether that’s a relaxed walk or something more active. I’ll also send updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing.

Information Irene L. would like to know about your pet

It’s very important for me to know about your dog’s personality, routine, behaviors, medical needs, triggers, and comfort level ahead of time so I can provide the safest and best care possible. Please let me know if your dog has any anxiety, fears, leash reactivity, food restrictions, medications, or sensitivities around other dogs, people, or children. I understand that every dog is different, and I’ll always respect their boundaries, energy level, and individual needs

A typical day

A typical day with me includes plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and care based on your dog’s personality and energy level. We may go for walks, play outside, enjoy fetch or playtime, relax together indoors, and stick closely to your dog’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. For more active dogs, I’m happy to include longer walks or light jogging if they enjoy it. I’ll also make sure your dog gets fresh water, feeding, potty breaks, affection, and lots of positive interaction throughout the day.

Runner & Loving Dog Care

Pet care experience

I provide dependable dog walking, drop-in visits, companionship, feeding, potty breaks, and attentive one-on-one care tailored to each pet’s personality and needs. As an avid runner and active outdoors person, I especially enjoy long walks and jogging with energetic dogs if they’re up for it. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and friends and family have trusted me for years to help care for their pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels, and I’m also very mindful of safety, weather conditions, and each dog’s personality. I currently have a flexible schedule, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays, which allows me to spend quality time with pets in my care. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for.

Thank you Irene for taking such care of my dog Bentley! She was very responsive, sent updates, and my dog was immediately comfortable with her. She was very thoughtful and put me at complete ease while I had plans! Thank you so much and look forward to booking with Irene again.

Irene Lionetta treated our boy Marco so well it was like he was her own dog. She paid so much attention to him and we were delighted to see her interact with him. He spent three weeks with her and he was in better shape after our trip than when we dropped him off It gives us such confidence when Irene takes care of him that it allows us to relax and know that he is well.

Irene took exceptional care of my blue heeler while I was gone for 3 weeks. Marco is anxious and will usually not eat well when we’re separated, but he looked amazing at pick up - shiny coat, healthy, and all smiles. In fact, he tried to get back in her car when it was time for us to go! I’m so happy to have found someone trustworthy, reliable, and kind to watch my buddy when I’m away. She is a godsend!
