Highlights
Pet care experience
your pets second best friend 🐾💙
With 2+ years of professional dog handling experience on the Upper East Side of NYC, I have a deep passion for caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. My expertise even includes handling reactive dogs and those who thrive in one-on-one settings. I have a long history of pet care, including rescuing and raising two puppies—my beloved Shih Tzu, Pookie, and my Pit Bull-Shih Tzu mix, Bear. My love for animals is at the heart of everything I do.

Safety, trust & environment
Growing up, I had extensive experience caring for senior dogs, administering their medications, and giving them all the love and attention they deserved. More recently, my new rescue pup, Bear, has taught me how to handle all the ups and downs of puppyhood. I've become an expert at managing a growing, teething, and occasionally disruptive little one, ensuring they get the proper care and guidance they need to thrive.
Ratings and reviews
Ivana was an amazing pet sitter! Super responsive and communicative, and did an awesome job managing our smart-but-anxious dog. Could not recommend her more!
Ivana was great! Very communicative, sent me lots of pictures and took good care of Mason 🥰
Ivana was lovely — sent tons of updates throughout the day, bonded well with my pup, and arrived even earlier than I needed. Would definitely recommend her.
Excellent sitter. Great communicator, reliable and a very sweet person. My dog was in good hands!
Ivana was phenomenal with Picasso. Her energy, warmth, and attentiveness kept him engaged and happy the entire time. He clearly adored her and I came home to a dog who was relaxed, joyful and well cared for. I would recommend Ivana without hesitation and would gladly book her again
Ivana was fantastic with our little labradoodle Ollie. She took him out on adventures, took time for play and cuddles, took great care of all his needs, and provided us regular updates and cute pictures while we were on holiday. Couldn’t have wished for anything more, looking forward to having her back in the future!

Schedule
My class schedule is Tuesday through Thursday, from morning to mid-afternoon, which means I'm completely free and flexible Friday through Monday. However, I'm always able to stop by and spend time with your pup on an as-needed basis, regardless of the time of day
