Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending my free time caring for animals. I work full time Monday through Friday and am available after 3:00 PM on weekdays. My weekends are completely open, which gives me plenty of time to provide walks, drop ins, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m very organized and make sure every pet gets the care, patience, and love they need. I enjoy creating a routine that keeps pets comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I also love sending pictures and updates so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their furry family members are safe and cared for.

Pet care experience

Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is truly one of my greatest joys. I’ve been surrounded by dogs since the day I was born, and throughout the years I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. My love for animals goes far beyond dogs, I genuinely have a heart for every creature. I’ve owned and cared for snakes, reptiles, ferrets, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, fish, and other small pets, which has given me experience understanding the unique needs and personalities of many different types of animals. I also have plenty of experience with cats. I’ve cared for my best friend’s three cats, two Maine Coons and a tabby, many times, making sure they felt safe, comfortable, and loved while their family was away. I also have my own rescued German Shepherd, Lobo, back home in the Rio Grande Valley (956 cuh! That’s how we proudly represent home! 😊). Having Lobo in my life has only strengthened my belief that every animal deserves patience, kindness, love, and a safe person they can trust. To me, pets aren’t just animals, they’re family. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, medication, enrichment, or simply someone to keep them company, I will care for them with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m also the type of person who loves sending pictures, videos, and updates because I know how comforting it is to see your pets happy and safe while you’re away. I’m always on my phone and easy to reach, so you’ll never feel out of the loop. I’m also a little bit of a pet detective! 🕵️‍♀️ I pay attention to the little details, making sure doors are secure, the home is safe, routines are followed, and your pets are acting like themselves. I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing that not only are your pets being loved, but your home is being respected and cared for too. During the weekdays, I work as a banker in the mornings and am available after 3:00 PM. I’m also available all weekend since I don’t work Saturdays or Sundays. If you’re looking for someone with years of hands on experience, a dependable schedule, great communication, and most importantly, a heart of gold for animals, I would be honored to care for your beloved pets as if they were my own.

I’ve watched Ivana care for animals with so much patience and love, and it’s one of the things I admire most about her. She has a natural ability to make pets feel comfortable and cared for, and she’s incredibly responsible, trustworthy, and attentive. I would confidently leave my own pets in her care knowing they’d be treated like family. Anyone who chooses Ivana through Rover can feel confident that their pets are in caring and capable hands.
