Pet care experience

Your pet's new best buddy!

I am very kind and peaceful. I know how to approach and introduce myself to pets I've never met. I was raised with dogs and cats in my childhood home and I have been blessed with four dogs of my own and one cat throughout my adult life. My last dog, Cody (a Boston Terrier), passed in September 2016 and since then I enjoy cuddling, nurturing, and playing with my own grandpups (3) who are very happy and excited when they come for sleepovers at my house frequently.

Irene is the best dog sitter one could ask for. She cares for our dog as if it was her own, giving him all the love and attention he craves. We never worry when he's with her.

Irene has been having drop ins with our pup Cali for over a year and a half and Cali loves her. She’s taught her so much and always makes sure our dog has a great time!

As always, you guys bring out the best in Casey. She loves spending time with you. I truly think she would be very happy living with you! Thanks for always putting our minds at ease.

As always we felt completely comfortable leaving Casey in the care of Irene. When it was time to pick Casey up we got the distinct impression that she would rather stay. I can't say I blame her!

Casey is in good hands with Irene who knows how to care for an elderly and deaf dog. She is like a dog whisperer!

Irene was great from the moment of meet and greet to picking up my pup! She sent pics everyday with an update and took him for walks everyday. Was assured of my Dog’s care which made me relax while on vacation.

Schedule

I am a business owner working from home which allows a flexible schedule for me and I have the ability to meet client's pets' needs easily because the work I perform is not 9-5.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a house on 1/2 acre with a fenced back yard. There is plenty of safe play room for pets. They will have free reign for stays in my home depending on their behavioral needs, just as my own dogs experienced during their lives. I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood where I am able to walk dogs by wooded areas and small fields, and also can take them to terrific nearby parks for outside time.

A typical day

I like to take them to different parks in my area, walks through the neighborhood, play catch or chase, and have interactive play with their favorite toys. Lots of outdoor time and cuddle time...and of course some rest time.

I pay special attention of implementing pet parents established routine so I will need that information, along with cautions/preferences/medications. Also, any concerns or things that I need to be aware of, such as a recent injury or mild illness.
