Pet care experience

Making pets happy is my lifestyle ♥

I have loved and enjoyed taking care of animals since I was a little girl, that’s why I decided to become a vet! Yes, I’m an experienced veterinarian who is completing a year of training at K-State💜 and I’m thrilled to offer my expertise in animal care in the Little Apple 🍎 I’ll be more than happy to provide company and the best care to your furry babies, so they feel loved, safe and happy while you’re away. Besides my professional experience, many friends and family members trust me with the care of their pets because they know that to me, this is not just a job, it’s a lifestyle 💖 I also have my own dear babies who I take care of everyday, can you ask for anything more in a pet sitter?

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I live with my 2 senior dogs, they’re both rescued and lovely to humans but one of them can be reactive to other animals, that’s why I only offer pet sitting services in your own home. Safety is a top priority for me. I have experience handling all sizes of dogs and cats. I can walk 2-3 dogs at a time and can take care of multiple animals at a time because that’s what I do everyday and I’m so happy and grateful for that. I have experience feeding, administering medications, and of course, even cleaning after pets. I love to take them on walks, play with them, just make them feel loved, safe and happy.

Irene is so friendly and caring! Her updates were thoughtful and made me smile. Such a great person to put your mind at ease knowing your pup is so well cared for, loved, snuggled, played with, etc. 😁 She is the best!!

Irene is always amazing. Whenever we book her I have the peace of mind that our kitty is in good, loving hands. I’m so grateful that she’s very communicative, reliable, and it’s obvious that she has a genuinely caring heart towards pets!

She took such great care of my hamster while I was away and made me feel completely at ease. I could tell she genuinely paid close attention and made sure everything was safe and comfortable. I was in a unique situation where my home needed to be kept clean and presentable for showings while I was gone, and she handled that so thoughtfully. I really appreciated how attentive and considerate she was with my space. Since hamsters have different needs compared to other pets, I also appreciated how open and willing she was to learn and adapt. She handled everything responsibly and with care. Overall, I had a very positive experience and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter.

Irene was amazing! She updated us frequently with pictures and videos, messaged with any questions and was able to stay overnight for us. I felt completely comfortable leaving our cat with her for over a week. She was very flexible when our travel plans changed and responsive to our messages. She was initially supposed to watch our senior dog and our cat, but when our plans for our dog changed she was adaptable and still willing to watch our cat. I would feel good leaving a senior or special needs dog or other pet with her, she's knowledgeable on taking care of animals and medical topics (like medication), you can tell she loves animals and truly has a passion for them. She left our apartment clean and tidy for us to come back to and was always so kind when speaking with us. I could tell our cat loved her and enjoyed her being around while we were gone

Schedule

I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to provide pet sitting support short-notice. Some weeks I work from home so that leaves me plenty of time to go walk, see and keep company to your dog/cat whenever, from the comfort of their own home! We can work with your schedule too and I’ll be happy to adjust according to your and your pets needs.
