Pet care experience

Dependable Pet Care You Can Trust🐾

For more than 20 years, I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages, and my love for animals began in childhood. I’ve had the joy of raising and caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, giving each one the patience, attention, and love they deserve. I’m dependable, always on time, and committed to providing exceptional care with kindness and compassion. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, companionship, medication, special nutritional care, or extra attention because of age or health, you can trust they’ll be treated like family. In addition to my experience with dogs, I’ve also rescued cats and helped raise litters of kittens, giving me confidence caring for cats of all ages as well. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved pet is receiving the highest level of care.

House Sitting • Jul 28, 2026

Itay was absolutely amazing with my dog, Rango. This was the first time I’d ever been away from him for an extended period, and Itay went above and beyond to make the experience completely stress-free. He kept me constantly updated with messages and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It was obvious that Rango was well cared for and treated like one of his own. I highly recommend Itay to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy dog sitter. I’ll absolutely be using him again anytime I need someone to look after Rango.

Absolutely fantastic! Itay took amazing care of our dog and even looked after our hermit crabs while we were away. He kept us updated with lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind, and his kindness really shines through in the way he cares for animals. We came home to a happy dog and happy hermits and couldn't be more grateful. Highly recommend!

If you want absolute peace of mind while you're away, hire Itay. He watched my pug Peppa, and to say he went above and beyond is an understatement. Pugs are wonderful, but they are also high-maintenance, sensitive little creatures with big personalities (and very specific routines). Itay didn't just keep Peppa fed and walked, he truly understood her. He was incredibly attentive to her heat tolerance, kept her on her strict schedule, and made sure she got just the right amount of attention and play. Throughout the entire stay, Itay kept me updated with hilarious photos and reassuring messages, which let me actually relax and enjoy my time away. Peppa was happy, healthy, and completely relaxed when I got home - in fact, I think she was a little sad to see him leave! Itay is professional, incredibly trustworthy, and a genuine dog lover. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Itay is doing an awesome job with my sister’s 16-year-old dog. She is very happy to see him twice a day. I highly recommend Itay and Rover.

Itay is responsible, timely, communicative, and respectful. He followed all my directives exactly. My dogs enjoyed him and seemed calm upon my arrival home. Would use Itay again.

Safety, trust & environment

Pets are honored guests in my home and all safety precautions are followed. Clean water is always available and pets are always supervised. When I visit pets in their homes I am always careful and respectful of their environment. Doors are always confirmed locked when I leave. I keep all the individual needs for each pet in mind.

Pets

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I always start by following the owner’s instructions and making sure I understand their pet’s routine, needs, I love spending quality time with pets through activities they enjoy, whether that’s going for walks, playing fetch or tug-of-war, practicing simple commands for mental stimulation, playing with their favorite toys, or simply relaxing together and giving them plenty of attention and affection. My goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owner is away
