Pet care experience

Because your pet deserves the best!

I’ve had the privilege of working with dogs of all sizes, from German Shepherds to Jack Russell Terriers, Brittany Spaniels, Pitties, and a whole lot of amazing mutts in between. My first job as a groomer gave me experience in providing care for all kinds of pups, and now, I’m the proud owner of a 2 year old Bernese! I truly enjoy working with dogs of all energy levels. I’m an active dog lover and enjoy hiking, walks, and playing with frisbees. I also love engaging dogs with enrichment toys to keep them entertained. I’m currently training my own dog, which has given me an even deeper understanding of how important it is to follow owner instructions and maintain consistency for a dog’s routine, I can administer oral and topical medications to your pet as needed. Our home has a fenced in yard on one side for safety and an open area on the other, we have a small wooded area dogs love to sniff and dig and that is what is for! I can’t wait to meet your puppies and offer them the care, attention, and fun they deserve!

Irene took care of our shy, senior cat and handled everything wonderfully. We received daily summaries of the drop-in visits and photos of Lady Stardust. We left some notes specific to our cat's needs and preferences and Irene was attentive to all the details. She is also one of few people Lady Stardust didn't run and hide from immediately, so we're glad our anxious cat felt more comfortable.

She was exquisite! Irene was terrific. She rescued my cat who escape 30 minutes before we had to leave, made sure she had what she needed, and brought in deliveries we had. So appreciated!

Schedule

I have recently quit my job in Healthcare to pursue a new degree. I am mostly at home, I take online classes so even if I'm working on school, I do it from the comfort of my home. I walk my dog about 3 to 4 times a day, depending on the weather.

Safety, trust & environment

My house layout is very convenient, it's all in one floor and the house can be divided if your pup like to sleep in a bed we have a guest room and available bed, if you rather us to crate them we also have a 42 inches crate that is big enough for big size dogs. Our yard is fenced on one side. Every door has a second door so no animal runs away or bolt through doors. We have several baby gates.

Pets

A typical day

Every dog is different! I do personalized care. With some dogs it is ok to just have a long walk with lots of places to smell. Other dogs likes to have a more energetic type of interaction, with these dogs I like to play lots of "find the treat" games and playing fetch or some activity that requires the dog to run and jump or chase a rope toy.

Feel free to tell me the silly things they like to do and the concerning behaviors I should be aware of to ensure a the safety of your puppy and the puppies around them.
