Highlights
Pet care experience
Play all day away from the cage!
I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have been actively caring for them since the age of 10. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience dog sitting for neighbors by feeding, walking, playing with, and providing loving care for their pets. I’ve also taken full responsibility for my own dogs while my parents were away, such as handling everything from daily walks and meals to playtime, entertainment, and bathing. In addition to my lifelong dog experience (21+ years), I also have two years of hands-on experience caring for cats. In fact, cats were the very first pet I had completely on my own, which gave me a deep understanding of their unique needs and personalities. What truly sets me apart is my passion for animals and my dedication to going above and beyond. I’ve personally trained my dog from puppyhood, teaching commands such as sit, lay down, stay, shake, spin, and even standing on his hind legs. I’ve even successfully taught my cats to sit for treats and mealtime, which is proof that patience and positive reinforcement go a long way! I treat every pet as if they were my own, with love, respect, and careful attention to their individual needs. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior companion, or a shy cat, your pet will always be safe, loved, and well cared for in my hands.

Ratings and reviews
Iris was an absolutely wonderful sitter. She is incredibly sweet and kind, very communicative, and consistently kept me updated. She followed all of my instructions thoroughly and thoughtfully, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my two cats and treated them with so much attention and care. Iris is diligent, responsible, and truly goes above and beyond. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Iris is an animal lover! She is fun and attentive. She pays attention to details of their care and will treat your pet like they’re her own.
Iris did a great job of watching my dog Jasper for the day. She was attentive, measured his meals, and walked him around the neighborhood without any difficulty.
I’ve known Iris for a long time, and she’s genuinely one of the best people you could trust with your pets. Animals naturally warm up to her because she’s gentle, patient, and always pays attention to their comfort and personality. Whether it’s a high energy dog that needs long walks or a shy cat that needs a calm, steady presence, Iris knows exactly how to make them feel safe and cared for. She’s reliable, responsible, and communicates well, so you never have to worry about how things are going. Iris treats every pet like they’re her own, giving them love, attention, and the kind of care that makes a real difference. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond for your pets, Iris is an easy choice.
Iris has watched my dog several times, including overnight, and she is amazing with him. She is extremely loving towards any pet, and treats them with love as if it were her own. All of my dog’s needs were met, and she went above and beyond to provide additional love/care. She is also great at keeping you up to date with the status of your pet. Highly recommend!

Schedule
I'm currently working part time as a babysitter, so I have a lot of free time to play with your animals while you are away. I can come early in the mornings, during the afternoons, and at nighttime. My availability is best during the day where I can give your pets much playtime and attention that they may want or need. Nighttime is where I am a bit busier, but I can come later in the night around 7-8pm ish.
