Hi, I'm Irene! I have a cat at home, so I will be traveling to you to provide your animals care! I do work longer hours on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, but I have a lot more availability Mondays, Wednesdays, and the weekend. I have had dogs and cats my whole life for 40+ years. I miss having dogs in my life so I am excited to get the opportunity to care for some! I love the companionship an animal can provide. It's just like caring for a child as you want to make sure you provide for all their needs. I am comfortable caring for many different types of animals, except for snakes. I mostly watch my grand dog when my daughter goes out of town. My last dog, Domino, was a mix of border collie & springer collie and was with me for 15yrs. She passed about 5 yrs ago in Michigan. Since moving to Austin 4yrs ago, I haven't had the opportunity to get another dog due to smaller living space. I miss her, so this is a great way to enjoy a variety of dogs. I feel I would be right for the job in helping others out, who need a trusted caregiver. I can also provide you with basic house sitting services. I will spend lots of time making sure your dog feels like home, even when you aren't at home! I look forward to meeting you and your animal family!
