Farmer girl for your Fido

I grew up on a small farm here in Florida with various types of animals, moved to south Florida and worked as a kennel technician in vet office and worked my way up to being a veterinary technician. After 4 years I decided I couldn’t handle the sad parts of being a tech because I have such a love for all animals. I chose a different career but miss being around animals regularly. I would be delighted to take care of your babies and can’t wait to meet them all! I look forward to assisting you! I currently am working but have the time in the morning and evening on week days, can be flexible. My weekends are open. Over nights can be discussed. Open mind based on your needs. Safety and comfort is my number one priority, I am always very attentive to each and every pets needs. Each pet has unique personalities and needs, I make sure they are comfortable while their parents are away. I give them tons of play time, love and pets, and also can administer medications if necessary.

Iva was great! She was great with communication, on time with the visits and took pictures during her visits. She notes of everything that happened during her visit with our Lilly. Will definitely be rebooking with her again. She’s wonderful!

This was our 2nd time using Iva. She was great & we appreciate the special care she took with our elderly cat Charm. The daily photos and messages as to how Charm was doing certainly eased our concerns regarding how she was doing. We hope Iva will be available the next time we need a sitter.

This was my first time using rover and Iva did an amazing job of reassuring me and making me feel comfortable having her be in my home and around my precious guy hank. I will 100% be booking with her in the future!

We're so glad we found Iva! We booked her so close to when we needed her for and she delivered. She always arrived on time day and night and our cats who only knew one sitter for years began trusting her. Iva absolutely did amazing, and we're definitely going to hire her again. 5 stars highly recommend!

Important information for me is each pets feeding schedule, walking schedule, any allergies or medications. It’s also great to know any favorite toys or places to go.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
