Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my number one priority from the pups playing, keeping them safe from pests or even feeding I have a routine I follow for each step in our day to ensure everyone is having fun and safe. We wash bowls daily in the dishwasher after each meal, spray the yard with disinfectants/ flea tick bi- weekly, clean all crates, pens, toys and beds after every stay and much more.

Information Ivanna S. would like to know about your pet

Im not picky about breed but I would love to know about temperament. How they are with other dogs and people? If they do good with just a leash or if they need a few gadgets such as a muzzle or gentle lead to fully enjoy the walk! I will do my part in helping your pup be socialized and learn basic commands but I ask that you continue with the same training when they are home.

A typical day

Our days will start with individual potty time and every pup including mine eat in a crate, this is to ensure all pups eat their own food and that they don't start a scuffle. Every food/ water bowl is washed after every meal. House is vacuumed and mopped nightly. Crate trays are sanitized after every use. Outside water bowls are changed multiple times a day to prevent illnesses such as kennel cough. We will do multiple walks a day, outside play time and supervised puzzles for brain stimulation. ALL unaltered males and females will sleep in crates. I do host unaltered males and females that are friendly and well mannered (no humping, marking or aggression). All dogs are in my line of sight at all times. If I need time to use the restroom, go to a store or not have them in my line of sight they are all crated with an appropriate size frozen kong. They are never crated for extended periods of time, it's for safety.

Pet care experience

My husband is a retired Army veteran (combat medic) and I am a groomer. You will always find us outdoors, whether it is a 5K, Dog sports or just swimming we are always out and about. I have worked with and owned almost every animal you can think of. My goal in being a rover sitter is not only to make your life a little easier but make sure your pet is comfortable and for them to think of me watching them as a vacation and not even have time to realize their parents aren't there. With that being said we will have lots of fun and never just be inside laying around. I am also big on pups being socialized and well behaved, we will go to pet stores, pet conventions and the park/trails and work on as many commands as we can to ensure we both trust and respect each other so the fun can continue!

This was our very first experience with finding a dog sitter for our cava poo Addie. Great experience and excellent promt reply’s any time I had a question! Addie went again today for her 2nd visit and was so excited the second she realized where she was. She did not even look my way as I left. She was too happy to care 💕

Ivanna and her husband were fantastic! We needed a sitter at the last minute to let our dogs out, and they came through! Ivanna was responsive and thoughtful, and our dogs seemed to have a ton of fun while they were there.
