Pet care experience

Woof, Wellness, and Love in my home

Hi there! I'm a stay-at-home mom with over 30 yrs experience with dogs. I am a certified trainer and have raised and trained many dogs. I would like to add a few temporary companions to my pack. I am located in West Central Spokane, just steps away from the Centennial Trail and Spokane River—perfect for daily walks and outdoor adventures! Pick up and drop off available within the Spokane area. What You Can Expect: Safe, loving care in a pet-friendly home Walks 1–2 times daily along the beautiful Centennial Trail Plenty of supervised playtime in the backyard Personalized attention and snuggles throughout the day Regular updates with pictures and messages A calm environment—no aggressive dogs, please I live with my two friendly pups: a gentle Bernese Mountain Dog and an energetic Porky (Pomeranian/Yorkie mix). They love meeting new friends and are great at making visiting dogs feel welcome. We have a fully fenced backyard where the dogs can safely play and roam. Whether you're going on vacation or just need a weekend away, your dog will be treated like part of the family here. I’d love to schedule a meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a great fit!

Couldn’t have asked for a better stay for my Pup. Irene was great and I will certainly book here again.

Irene was absolutely amazing with our puppy for her very first boarding experience! She took her on daily walks and even helped train her not to pull on the lead — we noticed such a difference right away. 🐾 We loved receiving the super cute photos and updates on how our pup was doing each day. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was happy, cared for, and having fun. We’re so grateful for Irene and will definitely be booking with her again!

Irene was a SUPERB host for my Rita and will absolutely be re-booking in the future! Facilitated a smooth meet and greet, welcomed Rita in, and was in clear and consistent communication.

Incredibly easy to coordinate with, and flexible with my changing plans. I was happy to hear Wilson had company during his stay and enjoyed getting a picture of him out on a walk with Irene. Would book again!

I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I am usually only gone for a few hrs a day and can devote the rest of my time to snuggling, exercising, socializing, and just being there for your pup.
