Vacation for your Furbabies

Pet care experience

I have been taking care of dogs my whole life. I have owned several different breeds and I am well equipped to handle your best friend with care and compassion. I work from home and have an extremely flexible schedule, therefore you are getting 24/7 care and updates. I thought, instead of picking up a second job, I could play with dogs. I am very active and I will make sure your pup will get plenty of excercise and love. I have experience with rescue dogs in the past and I have never meet a bad dog. My background includes college at western Kentucky university, where i was a collegiate soccer player. I learned with this experience the importance of attention to detail and respect. I was also a nurse for 3 years in the Medical/Covid ICU and I will make sure your pets will be treated as if they were my own. I am excited to meet your pets and I hope you choose me!

Milo has stayed with Iris many times and she always does a fantastic job. It’s like a vacation for our dog while we are away!

Two thumbs up! I have two very energetic and frankly, spoiled Cattle dogs that are not always the easiest to please. They obviously got enough exercise and Iris did a great job around communication and planning. That and reliability are always half the battle and Iris nails it.

Dexter and Revy came home happy and tired pups. With pictures throughout their stay I didn’t worry about if they were being well taken care of and I was able to enjoy my trip that much more. I will definitely be using Iris with all future trips!
