Pet care experience
Caregiver for your fur baby
I've been a dog lover for as long as I can remember, and even without having one of my own growing up, I was always the person friends, family, and neighbors trusted with theirs. Since around age 12, I’ve helped care for dogs of all kinds - walking, feeding, bathing, and giving them plenty of love. I’ve spent over two years helping care for a West Highland White Terrier, lived with and supported the care of a bulldog who needed extra attention due to health issues, and became a trusted caretaker to my friend’s energetic Vizsla. I’ve also cared for my sister’s cat for nearly two years, so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats. I work from home, which means your pup will get lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. Our pet-friendly building has a great bark park right outside, making outdoor time easy and fun. I’m flexible with drop-off and pick-up and aim to make things as simple and stress-free as possible for you. I don’t have pets of my own right now, so your fur baby will have my full attention and be cared for like family 🤍

Ratings and reviews
Ivana B. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Ivana was incredibly kind and accommodating throughout the entire booking process. She was responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely cared about making sure Bougie would be well taken care of. Even though things didn’t go as planned, she remained flexible and understanding the whole way through. It’s clear she’s passionate about what she does, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Looking forward to booking with her in the future!
This was the second time Ivana watched my dog George, and she was just as wonderful as the first. She’s kind, reliable, and was incredibly accommodating when my flight got delayed. Highly recommend!
Ivana was absolutely wonderful with George this weekend! She kept us updated with tons of cute photos. George had the absolute best time. Our new go-to sitter ☺️
We were in town to attend the Daytona 500. I didn’t feel comfortable leaving my dog crated for a 8-12 hour day in our camper so I decided to give rover a try. I was very nervous as my dog is 11 years old with anxiety and can be difficult. We dropped him off at Ivana’s apartment and her apartment was extremely clean and nice. She reassured us he would be well taken care of. I appreciated the pictures and messages throughout the day. We picked him up early due to the race having a rain delay and I was glad that he felt comfortable enough to nap and cuddle with her on the couch while being watched by her. I recommend her as she was essentially a stranger to us and took good care of my dog. I liked her experience and reviews and I would feel comfortable hiring her again if I was in the area.
Ivana was wonderful! I had to book last minute and she was more than willing to help out! Highly recommend and would love to book again!

I work from home and have pretty flexible schedule. I can take your puppy out every 2h if necessary. I'm available on weekends and holidays as well.

Safety, trust & environment
I understand how difficult it is to find someone you can trust so always making sure to get to know the schedule and routine of your baby to make the stay or any interaction comfortable is important to me.
