Loving Care When You're Not There!

Pet care experience

Hi there my name is Ivana, I worked at a holistic pet store as lead nutritional consultant(2yrs) at Natural Pawz, studying animal behavior, training to be a vet tech, and i love engaging with animals. I have years of experience with both dogs and cats of all ages and sizes too! Not only do i take pictures/videos to send to you of the adventures your fur babies and i will take on, but i also provide fun mental stimulation by keeping them occupied on non destructive activities that is breed appropriate. I can provide personal care for your pets in the comfort of your own home, or even board them as well. Hope to talk to you soon if you are interested, and can't wait to meet your energetic pets!

I would like to rectify my positive review on Ivana. I have used her a couple times for the house sitting service, and I will never use her again realizing her unprofessionalism and neglect that I’ve recently discovered from my security cameras around my house. She left my dogs by themselves for a very long period of time, one instance close to 24 hours. This would be unacceptable by any pet owner, and one of my dogs needs a special care with her eyes in need of treatment twice a day. I was very concerned about well being of my pups, but luckily I was able to find a different sitter despite me being out of country. This is something I would never want to go through again, and I regret all of her previous services that I was blind for.

I’m a returning client of Ivana, and she took a great care of my two pups over a weekend and the long thanksgiving break! She’s a reliable sitter who shows up on time and sends out regular updates. I will definitely use her again for my future sitter needs.

Information Ivana B. would like to know about your pet

All breeds welcome ❤️ Anything is helpful even as minuscule as it may be such as : allergies/dietary restrictions, what dog likes/ what dog doesn’t like, etc..

A typical day

There are a lot of gorgeous nearby trails/ dog parks near my area with some that include dog lakes as well and that is usually my first stop of the day then it comes down to feeding time and depending on whether the client would like grooming or not I usually bathe the dog after hours of playtime. For play time I like to use breed-specific/behavior-specific mental stimulation and physical exercise. For example, if I was to have a Shetland sheep dog ( herding dog ) i would do alot of frisbee and agility games. All dogs have their own unique personalities, but the wide range of different dog breeds from all over the world can be broadly divided into subcategories of dogs that share the same breed traits, have similar personalities and have a lot of other things in common. If you have a high energy dog i will get all that engery put to use instead of them taking it out destructively, and if you have a lazy dog i will get him his daily amount of essential exercise to help maintain a healthy body.
