Pet care experience
I have loved and cared for animals my whole life and even majored in Biology with the intent to become a veterinarian. I've participated with 4H and took rabbit and chicken care classes. I've volunteered at local Humane societies caring for cats qnd dogs. I've never been able to live more than a year without a pet of my own. I'm experienced with dogs, rabbits, cats, parakeets, chickens, ducks, and most recently praying mantids. I've seen the good, the bad, and the ugliest of behaviors and exeperiences and have learned that patience, tenderness, and well informed animal knowledge wins out when caring for any animal. Please each out to me for assistance with any animal. If I haven't cared for it before I will make sure to learn everything about them before I do.
Reviews
If you're looking for a responsible pet sitter who genuinely loves animals and would do anything to take the best care of your pet, my sister Ivana is exactly who you're looking for! Ivana has been very passionate about caring for animals her entire life! She started in her childhood befriending and caring for strays, which evolved into saving and rehoming many stray animals, doing volunteer animal shelter work, and providing a wonderful home and family for many animals over the years! She has done right by so many animals and she just naturally has a way with them where they completely love and trust her. She has also watched my animals for me on many occasions and she just makes the experience so much less stressful! She is an excellent communicator and listener and very prompt with check-ins and updates! I hate leaving my animals, but I know when they're with Ivana they are in wonderful hands and having a blast with her! I am confident that anyone who chooses to have their pets in her care will feel the same! :)
Ivana has cared for my pets on several different occasions, not only was it a positive experience for me it was also a positive experience for my pets. I was able to learn quite a bit about my cat from Ivana and with her experience I'm now better able to care for my little cat Malcador. It was definitely a great experience for the both of us.

I own my 4 bedroom home with extra space for any animal to isolate if needed. My 3 cats have plenty of space to roam and be social or have some privacy if needed. I'll also be installing cat walkways shortly. Dogs can have space in my fenced in backyard to play or potty as needed. I currently do not have a dog crate yet but can borrow yours if you prefer. My neighborhood is non-hoa and dog friendly with plenty of sidewalks. I live minutes from Purple Heart park but will only let them out in the dog park if you, as the owner, is comfortable with it or have taken them there before. I welcome any special requests or instructions to best care for animal babies.

Information Ivana M. would like to know about your pet
I'd love to know any behavioral issues or sensitivities I need to be aware of. Will they need medication or special food? What's their favorite activity and treat?
A typical day
Early morning walks around the neighborhood. More walks through out the day every 1-2 hours. Playtime in the backyard. Relaxing places to sit or lay inside, even the couch!

I work from home M-F here in Arizona on Eastern time zone hours. So i am up early and off by 3:30pm. This leaves me plenty of day time hours for walks or trips to a park. Plus I will definitely be loving on any animal friends in between my work calls too, sometimes they can even join a zoom call or two!
