Safety, trust & environment

I assure the pet is acquainted and comfortable with me in order to work together. Love to bring homemade treats and make a puzzle for them to find it. Will always adhere to any restrictions and make sure we are on the same page.

Please let me know if your pet has any negative reactions to certain things, people or other pets. It is important for their safety to be provided with the most comfortable environments.

A typical day

I enjoy to give dogs their time to sniff everything, there’s no rush here. My favorite thing is to construct treat puzzles for a fun time and mental stimulation. For cats, I understand they can be a little shy sometimes so I always let them approach me first. A random moving string always will go a long way in play time.

Pet care experience

I am a pawrent of one doggo and two gattos. I love to pet sit for my friends (cats, dogs, bunnies, anything w a heartbeat). Grew up on a cow farm and married a vet tech, my dark clothes have always had some sort of pet fur. Given special diets, special care and homemake treats.

Iris was absolutely wonderful! She had a great connection with our cat. She took the time to learn about our cat and make sure she could make her as happy/comfortable as possible. Iris was also a great communicator. We got a ton of fun pictures and updates of their time together. I would recommend Iris to anyone!

Iris was a pleasure to work with. She was responsive and considerate with our short timeline and sensitive dog. She bonded quickly with June after a couple of initial meet and greets, and was patient with her and communicative with us during her stay. We can’t wait for her to look after June again!

Iris is an unbelievable sitter, we can back to 2 cats and our senior dog (16), all happy and fully cared for. So much so that they didn’t even want attention from us.

Iris did so well with our kitten and shy cat when she stayed over to house sit. She took great care of the house too. My shy guy was clearly doing really well when we returned home. Can’t thank her enough!
