Pet care experience

I’ve cared for my own dog from puppyhood for the past four years, all over the country, and have cared for family dogs since I was a child. I’ve completed multiple training courses with Say it Once Dog Training in Colorado and A Pleasant Dog in Michigan, giving me experience in both puppy and obedience training. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, including senior dogs, and can administer medications when needed. I bring patience, consistency, and a genuine love for animals to every visit.

Ivana was great! She was punctual and kept me at ease with great communication of how the visit was going since this was my first time using rover! She was able to deal with our pups quirks and provided great pics at the end!

We could not have asked for a better dog sitter. Ivana truly went above and beyond for our two Great Danes, and that is no small task. Our older girl can be stubborn and sometimes fearful of new people, but from the very beginning she showed incredible patience, understanding, and kindness. Ivana took the time to earn her trust and made her feel safe and comfortable, which meant everything to us. At the same time, Ivana handled our huge almost 200 lb great dane boy with ease and lots of love, giving him the attention and care he thrives on. It was clear throughout that Ivana genuinely cares about dogs and treats them like her own! Communication was excellent, we felt completely at ease while we were away!!! We would 100% recommend Ivana to anyone — especially those with large dogs or dogs that need a little extra patience and compassion.

We couldn’t be more grateful for Ivana. We have one dog that is very particular and fearful of new people, and another that is a big goof. The combo of them makes for quite the time but Ivana was up for the challenge. I appreciate how she takes time to learn the details of the dogs, provides great updates, and is just an overall compassionate wonderful person. It has been a sigh of relief while we’re away to know she’s keeping them safe and cared for. :)

Ivana came in clutch over the holidays and house sat our 2 dogs over Christmas weekend. She responded quickly and sent daily pics to keep us at peace. Highly recommend!
