Highlights
Pet care experience
Paws in good hands!
My calm demeanor helps me connect with pets of all temperaments. Adopting a sassy calico cat named Waffles with my partner has taught me the importance of patience, training, and understanding space. I am an approved foster parent with SPCA Erie County and have had the pleasure of fostering newborn kittens, a nursing mother cat, and puppies. I've experienced fostering young puppies (3 months old) and implementing effective potty-training techniques. Beyond fostering, my friends trust me to take care of their cats/dogs while they're away. I have even taught some of the cats new tricks while in my care! Since then, I have my own adventurous cat, Shrimp, who thrives on outdoor exploration, and I understand the importance of providing mental and physical stimulation. I'm attentive, experienced, and genuinely passionate about making sure every pet in my care feels happy, safe, and loved.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Iris was so so amazing, she was super understanding towards my dogs personality since she’s more on the shy side, she was super sweet and made sure I was aware of everything that was going on. I felt so at ease having her come over to my place! Would definitely book her again and recommend her to everyone! ❤️

So kind and helpful!

Amazing communication and long walks. Would definitely use again!
I'm really grateful I found Iris. she's been great with my pup and was even able to work on a holiday. highly recommend!!

Iris really took her time with him either running or letting him sniff and kept me posted the whole time.

amazing first walk with my tiny bear! Iris is very sweet and kept me posted with pics of their walk. she also went above and beyond helping me. truly recommend!!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I will treat your home with the utmost respect and keep spaces tidy, secure doors and windows, and ensure your pet's environment remains clean and comfortable.
Pets
A typical day
Every pet is different, so I tailor each day to their personality and energy level! I'll be happy to have multiple play sessions or training time for dogs/cats. If your pet enjoys being outdoors (like my cat Shrimp!), I provide supervised outdoor time or window perches for bird watching.
- Iris can host up to 1 pet per night
- Please let me know ahead of time of any special behaviors, habits, or routines I should be aware of regarding your pet. I'm happy to handle any special care instructions you provide.
