I work from home Wednesday to Friday so can happily visit your for play dates and walks during the week, and if you need longer I can spend the day at your place, as long as I can use the WiFi I can work and take care of your friend at the same time so they don't feel alone! I can also do weekends but I'd probably need to know in advance

Safety, trust & environment

I always want to have a chat with the owner first so they can explain to me the needs and personality of the pet. No animal is the same, same as no human is the same! So I adapt how I behave with the animal based on the information I get before hand to make sure it's a good match

Information Irene V. would like to know about your pet

I'm pretty OK with any breed or special needs. The only thing that I ask is to know in advance if your pet needs extra care or has any special behaviours so I can prepare in advance and there are no bad surprises for any of us

A typical day

A typical day will depend on the type of dog, needs and energy levels. I will be chill if the dog wants to sleep most of the day, but if they are a ball of energy I'll play and run with them

Pet care experience

I have more than 20 years of experience with dogs, of all sizes and characters. My first dog was a Chow (Winnie, yes I know, perfect name for that breed) so I know how to treat dogs with personality, but equally I'm my sister's super energetic Teckel best friend (can be proved by videos of how excited he gets when he sees me at the airport). But also know how to treat dogs that sadly have some trauma, my parent's dog was found in a bin in the middle of winter as a puppy... I need to be surrounded by animals, I also have experience with cats and even Guinea Pigs! But London is not letting me own one of my own yet, so let me put my love and skills in good use helping you love and care for yours!

Irene looked after our wee Winston at very short notice and we couldn’t be happier. We came home to a very happy boy - we’d definitely use her again.

Irene was fantastic looking after Teddy and our flat ☺️ the place looked immaculate when we got home and Teddy was a very happy pup. She provided lots of photos of them having a great weekend together and provided excellent communication. I would highly recommend Irene and cannot wait to book her again in the future 🥰

Irene is a lovely, positive person who quickly made friends with our lab puppy Minnie - she is our go-to sitter now!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
