Loving, fun and responsible.

Pet care experience

I have been seeing this one dog Nels for about 2 years and when she sees me she gets so excited that she runs in circles and rolls over a few times out of sheer joy, because she knows that her day will be filled with new parks, and trying to catch that elusive squirrel. We have fun and she makes me happy as well and I laugh a lot. Walking a dog (or running with one) is great exercise and keeps me young and happy. I have given shots and pills and will bathe a pet if asked. I have been pet sitting for 5 years and it brings me joy and gives me the opportunity to meet and get to know different breeds. If I am getting a breed that I'm not familiar with, I go online and read up about the kind of animal it is and where it comes from and what special care it needs. I'm very hands on when it comes to my pets and they have my full attention.

Irene, took excellent care of my puppy. She kept her overnight and send me updates throughout her stay. We had a meet and greet beforehand and went over the details of her stay. I felt comfortable having her watch my puppy. I have already booked her again!

Irene loves dogs! She has cared for mine many times and I always feel confident when I leave Silas with her overnight. She got to know his preferences and quirks very quickly. Now they’re old buddies; Silas gets excited when we arrive at her house. Communication with Irene is good. I tend to text her and she gets back to me quickly. I highly recommend her.

Irene just stayed with our dog and cat. She was great and we felt comfortable having her is our house. She took great care of them. Our lab is 65lbs and very energetic. Irene exercised her and played with her, sending us updates and photos. We already planning another trip and will be using Irene again.

Information Irene M. would like to know about your pet

I like to know what scares a dog or cat, does they like the rain, do they have allergies, do they get along with other dogs and cats? How do they like long walks or doggie parks? What about car rides? Will they sleep on the bed or do they have their own bed? Will they bark at people or other dogs, or kids on bikes? No I have no preferences. I love all dogs and cats.

A typical day

We will take 4 walks a day, depending on the weather, of course and what the dog tells me. I usually read the dogs reaction to what I say and follow what they want to do. On nice days and with the owners permission, I will take the pet to a park, but not always to the fenced doggie park, until I am sure that the dog is ready for that activity. I also play with my friend in the house, but I always follow the dog's cue as to what it wants to do. I love all of my guests.
