Availability

I currently work in healthcare administration during the week, which means my weekends are entirely dedicated to pet care! I am available for full-time boarding and house sitting from Friday evening through Sunday night. Because I am a student and work a consistent schedule, I am very reliable and punctual with my check-ins and walk times. Your pup will have my full attention during their stay!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a pet-friendly environment in San Mateo where your dog's safety is my top priority. I have a friendly dog of my own who loves making new friends, making my home a great 'social' spot for your pup. I am very comfortable with 'Meet & Greets' to ensure everyone gets along. I maintain a clean, safe space and am happy to accommodate crate training or any specific home boundaries you have in place.

Pet care experience

My home is your pet’s home 🫶🏻 Safe and trusted environment 💛 I have been caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have always relied on me to check in, feed, and play with their pets. As a dedicated dog and cat owner myself, I understand that your pet is family. I am a very active person who loves long walks, so I can ensure your dog gets plenty of exercise. I’m also highly organized and comfortable following specific feeding or medication schedules to keep your pup's routine consistent.

I absolutely love having Ivana care for my pets! As a neighbor, I’ve seen firsthand how incredibly responsible, attentive, and genuinely loving she is with animals. She treats every pet like they are her own, keeping a close eye on their routines and making sure they are happy and comfortable. Knowing she is nearby gives me so much peace of mind whenever I need a hand. I can’t recommend her enough—your pets will be in the absolute best hands!

Ivana was so good with our Benito. I will definitely be booking again and so happy she was able to watch him.

Ivana did a fantastic job with my dog. She’s very observant and followed all the care instructions perfectly. She sent several photos throughout the day, and I could tell she really cares about the animals she looks after. She treated my dog like her own, and I came home to a very happy, relaxed pet. Thank you, Ivana
