Fun and Energetic Dog walker/sitter

I’ve had dogs my whole life. I volunteered at humane society in high school (to take care of dogs and cats and as a walker). I started dog sitting in the past year and it works great with my schedule. I don’t currently have a dog, so it’s nice to see their smiling faces!

Safety, trust & environment

I do live in a one bedroom (no roommates, family or pets of my own). There isn’t a yard which is part of the reason I haven’t gotten a dog but I live super close to a park or if the dog is more energetic and needs a run, I’ll take them to closer off baseball field to play fetch. When I dog sit at people’s houses, I follow whatever schedule they ask me to (in regards to when and what to feed the pets, how often to walk, if one is crated, etc). I usually meet them at their house a few days before they leave to go over where everything is and to meet their pets.

House Sitting • Jun 12, 2026

Irene was fantastic house-sitting with my 3 dogs for a week. She had great communication, the place is spotless, & the dogs are happy. She was a so kind & flexible to come back & stay an extra day after our flight was delayed. Definitely will rebook 😊 Thank you!

House Sitting • Aug 25, 2025

We were so grateful to find Irene when our original plans for our dog, Tucker, fell through right before a two-week vacation. We booked her at the last minute, and she was incredibly responsive and reliable from the start. While we were away, Irene sent us regular updates and photos of Tucker, which completely eased any worries we had about leaving him behind. It was clear he was well cared for and happy. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Irene first the next time we need someone to stay with Tucker. She gave us complete peace of mind and went above and beyond!

Irene took great care of Hudson! Drop off and pick up was smooth as can be. We’ll definitely use Irene again when we need a sitter for Hudson.

Initially a bit hesitant because Irene does not have a fenced yard. But the moment our two dogs met Irene we knew we made a very good choice. She is caring, loving, responsible, and very responsive. She sent us photos regularly. Irene deals with only one family at a time. No mad house. We definitely will use Irene again. A treasure!!

My dog, Nova, can be a little nervous meeting new people but she took to Irene right away which made me feel very comfortable leaving Nova with her for the weekend. Irene also sent pics and updates so I never even had a chance to worry! I can't recommend Irene enough!

Our dog normally stays in a kennel when we go away, but it was booked. I was very nervous to try Rover.com, but Irene was very good to our dog Misty. Misty stayed at her house and was treated like a princess. I didn't think Misty would want to come home. Misty can be very anxious and quirky and Irene was very good with her. She kept us up to date daily on walks, feedings and her anxiety. Irene was the perfect fit for Misty. Thank you Irene for all the love and care you had for our dog on our weekend away. You are the best!!!!!!!
