Happy Dog, Happy Life!
I’ve been a dog owner since the day I was born. Growing up as a kid, I was surrounded by 3 loving American Bulldogs and 1 irresistible English Bulldog. My time with them was filled with joy and limitless play/adventure out in nature. Two out of the 4 doggos had beautiful puppies (both doggy’s having two litters each throughout their life) from which I was always placed on runt duty (which required 24 Hr care), HaPpiLy! Once I got into middle/high school, I was then blessed with an adorable, clumsy Olde English Bulldogge & lastly, a Toy Chihuahua (chichi). Chichi was my world. Yes, like any Toy Chihuahua, she barked... A lot! Haha! But she meant the world to me. Recently, she passed away (from old age of course) and my heart hasn’t been the same since. Although I loved her the best I could, we hoomans gain more and more responsibility & work as we get older & our pets end up usually having to spend more and more time alone. That was my biggest regret with Chichi. I thought long and hard about adopting another dog after her, but in my heart I simply couldn’t. I felt too deeply about her passing so I thought long and hard on what I should do about it. Finally, I realized that I was wishing and wanting to be able to give what I couldn’t give to chichi to other dog’s out there who also have busy parents going through what I went through. Rover helps me do exactly that! I’m able to give all my love & care to doggy’s whose mom/dad are busy, away, or gone on vacation. Mom/dad can work hard, go places in life, but not have to feel what I felt. Instead of being worried or feeling bad/guilty about your amazing pooches being at home alone because you’re getting life done or simply wanting to get away n’ enjoy it a bit through traveling or what may have you, I can be your peace of mind that your doggy’s are doing the exact same :) It would bring me a whole lot of joy being able to help you and others in that small, special way <3 !!

Safety, trust & environment
Front and back porch is gated, with additional locks so you won’t have to worry if your fur child is an escape artist. I can provide additional fencing within home to block off certain areas you’d like your pup to stay away from as well.
Ratings and reviews
Irene is THE BEST!!!! I can't express enough how beyond pleased and thankful we were to find her! This was the first time our Willow was being left with a stranger, let alone for four days!! We knew from the first communication with Irene that Willow was going to get exceptional care and Willow did as Irene's care was above and beyond! Irene was confident in caring and accepted to care for Willow without even meeting her firs because of her love and experience with all dog breeds and especially Willow's, American Bulldog. Irene provided a FaceTime to show her home where Willow would be staying. She was thorough and professional, providing a questionnaire to get to know all about Willow from feeding, to playtime, to walking rituals, to likes and dislikes, etc. Irene covered it all! Irene also provided a "checklist" to assist in packing for Willow's stay. Irene was very communicative sending videos and pictures and updates several times each day of Willow's stay. Irene even recognized a nail that was bleeding and properly took care of it. Although Willow was very happy to see us at the end of her stay, she was hesitant to leave Irene as she kept looking back for her as we walked to the car. I highly recommend Irene to care for your pet!! You'll have complete peace of mind while away!!
Irene is amazing. She sent videos and pictures throughout the day, so I could see how our puppy was doing.
Amazing as always. Goes above and beyond 80)
Very attentive and always looking at the best interest for your dog. Irene is a wonderful caregiver, you will not regret leaving your fur baby here.
The absolute best!! Gave me piece of mind when I was on my trip(: will definitely book again!
Irene responded quickly to our last minute need for care for our Bernedoodle so that we could do an airboat tour of the Everglades. She took notes about his schedule and provided videos of our guy to reassure us that he was fine. We’ve only left him with family or our trainer back home, so we were hesitant to leave him with a stranger, especially given his separation anxiety. Irene was affectionate with him, and if we’re ever back in the Miami area, I won’t hesitate to call on her again! Anyone who has traveled to the area to do Everglades excursions, Biscayne boat trips or other attractions where your dog is not permitted, I recommend Irene to lovingly care for your dog.
