I cannot accept elderly dogs that need special care. Let me know what your dog likes and what not so I can treat him/her properly. What food, what times of the day he/she likes to go out, all information and details is important.

A typical day

Walks outside on different paths each day for entertainment, play with different toys that you can provide or with the ones my own has if they like them, sharing is caring.

Irene's Dog Care

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Irene and I love dogs, and animals in general. I now have two kids, if your doggie is not use to see kids in the surrounding area (without them looking to interact with your dog) please don’t reach to me as I cannot take care of dogs that require special attention in this situation. If you book with me and your dog require us to pay extra attention to him/her because he/she is not used to kids I will need to charge an extra fee. I have had dogs since I was 7 years old, that means more than 20 years. I usually pet sit dogs and cats from family and friends so I decided to try DogVacay/Rover to get to know more pets around the area. I will take special care of your babies and I will be happy to help you when you need people to look for them, I understand how important it is for a pet owner that people take special and real care of their pets because I would want the same treatment for my pets. I like to walk with the dogs and play with the pets once in a while so they feel comfortable :). Hope to get to know your pets!

Irene and her family are so wonderful. My dog, Archie, was very well taken care of. I got photos and updates throughout the day. I felt so at peace while I was away, knowing he was in such good care. Highly recommend Irene!

Irene and her family are warm, kind, communicative and very responsible dog boarders - our dog Ollie likes being with them so much he barely registers when I drop him off and comes home happy and calm after staying with Irene. I can’t recommend her more for watching your pup!

Irene and her husband were the kindest, most conscientious and wonderful dog sitters we could have ever hoped for. We’re new to Rover and so our dog is very new to staying in a home away from home. They patiently worked with her and kept her happy until our return, in spite of the challenges. So grateful!

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.
