Pet care experience

A barking good time!

I’ve had dogs most of my life and have raised several from puppyhood through adulthood. I genuinely enjoy every stage of life, from energetic puppies to senior dogs, and I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines. I’ve dog-sat for multiple families in the past and recently joined Rover now that I have more flexibility working from home. I work full time from home and am available seven days a week, so your pup will get plenty of attention throughout the day. I can provide multiple walks daily, along with lots of playtime, cuddles, and supervision. I live in a house with a fully fenced yard, giving dogs a safe space to play and relax. I also have a friendly corgi/Aussie mix who loves other dogs. I’m close to several parks, which means plenty of opportunities for fresh air, walks, and fun adventures. Your dog will be treated like part of the family, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away 🐾

Mia had the best stay at Irma’s house! She sent tons of pictures of Mia’s adventures - I felt confident that Mia was in good hands and was able to enjoy my vacation without worry! Will definitely book with Irma again! 🐶❤️

Irma was the best! She took Mosby to the park and he loved to play with her pup Digby! I was updated daily and felt like she treated my baby just like her own! Will definitely used Irma again!!

Honestly, Irma is the BEST! Our Little Oliver will definitely attest! Oliver is our beloved Scottish Terrier that we never leave, with anyone! We flew to Hawaii for our Son's wedding and actually contemplated not going as we did not want to kennel Oliver. Irma was referred to us. I met with Irma 2 weeks prior to leaving and saw the instant connection. We walked Oliver around her neighborhood and chatted for awhile as I gave her our expectations. When it was time to leave, Oliver did not want to go...Oliver stayed with Irma for 8 nights. When we returned he was happy, playful and very comfortable...Again Oliver was not in a hurry to leave. We have since left Oliver with Irma on several occasions and never have to worry. Irma even steams Oliver his carrots, takes him to the dog park and let's him sleep with her! What is there not to love about Irma!! Irma comes highly recommended.

Irma Z. is an excellent dog sitter She watched my Rufio when I was out of town for 5 days and sent me photo updates every couple of days for peace of mind! My dog had a blast with her dog and I knew he was having a blast. Would recommend and use her again should I go on another vacation/etc.

Schedule

Pet care fits easily into my day since I work from home. I’m around for regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day, including a longer walk during my lunch break. Your pet will rarely be alone and will be well cared for and loved.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment whether pets are in my home or yours. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special instructions. In my home, pets have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, plenty of space to relax, and lots of attention since I work from home. I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and treated like part of the family, while keeping owners updated so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day includes morning potty breaks, walks, and breakfast, followed by playtime and relaxing throughout the day. Since I work from home, pets get lots of attention, cuddle breaks, and supervised time in the fenced yard. We’ll go on regular walks, including a longer one during my lunch break, and enjoy playtime, enrichment, and downtime. Every day is a good mix of fun, exercise, and comfort so pets feel happy, relaxed, and at home.
