Pet care experience

Eager to love your furry pals 🐾

Hi furry families! My name is Iris and I’m an animal inspired gal. I have owned multiple breeds of dogs/cats throughout my lifetime from family mutts to tea cup chihuahuas to 100lb terriers but I do have an extra special place in my heart for bullies. I’ve raised all my children with dogs/cats and am comfortable with all breeds. I would love to meet your babies, give them all the love and attention they need and keep them comfortable in your absence. 🐾 I am available for drop ins, walks, and overnight stays. I work a typical 40 hours a week with flexibility to adjust my schedule as needed. I’ve worked for the same company for 27 years and would love to build a steady group of fur friends so I can leave the corporate world and do what I actually love! 🩷 I love to stimulate your dog mentality and physically. I’m an expert ball thrower (just ask my Kato) and I enjoy walking neighborhoods and sometimes adding a little jog. If their not into adventure I’m also great at cuddling on the couch or floor, giving all the belly scratches and just being present for comfort and security.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard with almost an acre of land to run around. My dogs are crate trained and can be moved to the barn as needed. I can follow any walking/feeding schedules you have to make sure your fur babies are comfortable and happy in your absence. I love to stimulate your dog mentality and physically.

Iris is truly the best! She watched Lola while I was away for my wedding weekend. I had a million things to stress about but I was so grateful I didn't have to worry about Lola at all because I knew she was in the best hands. Wouldn’t have trusted Lola with anyone else for such an important day. Thank you Iris!!

I was able to book Iris on short notice and she did a great job with my two kitties. They warmed up to her from her first visit. Communication was great with each visit and she brought in the mail and paper. Definitely book Iris if you want you fur babies well cared for when you are away!

We are so pleased with the service that Iris provided for our senior kitty, Marilyn, while we were away on vacation! Iris was a great communicator throughout and very patient and thorough with the care she provided. Iris exudes a true love and passion for animals. We would highly recommend her to anyone!

Iris did a wonderful job watching Lola! Lots of photos and video updates which helped me cope with being away ‘cause I knew she was in good hands.

Iris has a special place in her heart for pets. She has always had a pet or two in her house to love and care for. If she was able to she would probably run a pet rescue program. I would trust her completely with my pets.
