Loving Care for Dogs & Cats

Hi, I’m Irma! 🩷 I’m a loving, calm, and slightly silly animal lover who treats every dog and cat like they’re part of my own family. Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, cozy naps, or quiet companionship, your pet will always feel safe, seen, and adored with me. I grew up with a German Shepherd named King, who wasn’t “just a dog”; he was my best friend. That bond taught me how deeply pets become part of our hearts, and it’s why I care for every fur baby like they’re my own. I have years of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats, including working in a dog grooming salon and doggie daycare, plus providing drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love. I’ve recently fallen head-over-heels for cat care too, from shy kitties who need gentle patience to playful ones who love interaction. I truly enjoy getting to know each cat’s unique personality. Pet parents often tell me I’m calm, kind-hearted, reliable, and easy to trust, and that their pets instantly feel comfortable with me. I’m big on communication, honesty, and making sure you feel totally at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort always come first… and I promise they’ll get plenty of love, laughs, and TLC while you’re gone 🐶🐱💕

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect I would my own. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free at all times. I always follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules and medications to walks, litter care, and playtime. I make sure doors, leashes, gates, and windows are secure, and I keep a close eye on pets during walks and visits to prevent accidents. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, which helps pets feel relaxed and safe, especially those who are shy, senior, or anxious. I also send regular photo and text updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. Your pet’s well-being, happiness, and safety always come first 🐾

Irma was so attentive, kind, and communicative with us. This was our first time using Rover and leaving our cat Andy, and Irma made sure everything was taken care of and even met Andy prior to the booking. She handled Andy's upset stomach (he can eat too fast), and even went above and beyond taking care of him. We would more than recommend booking with Irma. She is the best!!!

Irma took such good care of my kitty, and clearly loved spending time with him, which made me feel happy knowing that he was with someone so caring. I loved her updates, and am so grateful to her!

Schedule

Pet care is a big part of my daily routine, not something I squeeze in. I structure my days around my bookings so I can give every dog and cat the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m flexible with mornings, afternoons, and evenings for walks and drop-ins, and I’m great at sticking to feeding schedules, medication routines, and special instructions. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a long walk, or some quality cuddle time, I make sure they’re never rushed and always cared for with patience and love.

I love learning as much as I can about your pet ahead of time so I can give them the best care possible. Please let me know if your dog has any medical conditions, allergies, or medications they take, as well as their regular routine. It’s also helpful to know if there are any fears, triggers, or behaviors I should be aware of so I can make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I’d also love to know how your dog does around other dogs, children, and new environments, so I can plan their walks, playtime, and care in a way that keeps everyone happy and safe 🐾
