Dogs and cats R my favorite people

Pet care experience

I have always been a dog and cat lover but haven't had my own until after I came to America. My first job as a nanny had 3 dogs and cat and I was in heaven 😊. I kept doing a drop in visits when needed even after I left that job after 2 years. I played with them, cleaned after them, when Daisy was in heat I was changing her pads, taking them to the vet and I administered medication, bathing and brushing them. Finally in 2000 me and my husband bought our own condo and adopted cat Robin and dog Mackenzie. We are now on our third dog after we lost Baxter at 15 last year. They were all adopted from Friends of homeless animals. Most recently I have been taking care of 2 cats and 4 dogs. Two dogs were staying with me whole day and went home to sleep in their cages for 4 and then 5 days. The other two did stay overnight with us for 3 days. Also I have job dog walking 2 dogs Monday - Friday (11:30 pm and 5:00pm) plus any additional time as needed. And walking my dog Boromir of course.

You can’t go wrong with Iveta. She loves dogs and loves taking care of them. Dogs love her back. She was so good with our dog Ringo. She gave him belly rubs and fed him with a spoon since he is a picky eater. Ringo felt right at home during his stay. We would definitely seek her services again next time we go away.

Iveta was wonderful, communicative, and caring for our sweet Brutus. He stayed for almost 2 weeks and he had a great time with lots of cuddles, walks, and play. Definitely recommend!

We left our Mikey with Iveta for almost a month. Mikey had a blast with Iveta. He found new friend Boromir and we can see that Mikey was having his best of his life with Boromir and Iveta. Iveta sent us lots of photos and videos daily and we got comfortable on the first day itself that he was in safe hands and we could enjoy our trip with no worries. It's like Mikey had a good vacation as well with Iveta’s family :) On the last day, Iveta gave Mikey a little gift. I would definitely rebook with Iveta in future whenever we go out on trips. Iveta is a true animal lover and will take amazing care of your fur baby! She is absolutely wonderful and responsible - I highly recommend her. She will take the best care of your best friend!

My dog is very dog friendly and will be happy to play with dogs that come to stay with us. I always clean up their 💩. I can take your pup for long walk around the lake or dog park if they prefer that. I'm very dependable and on time. I worked as a nanny for 6 years so taking care of pets is just like taking care of children. I will never take more than two boarders at the same time so with Boromir it will be 3 max. That way I can provide a lot of personal attention to each VIP (very important pup). Cuddles are my priority! So if your dog loves cuddles a lot this is the place to come.

Information Iveta B. would like to know about your pet

Your dog will need to get along with Boromir. He is about 2-3 and prefers dogs to people. I will need to see how he will act with other dog staying in our place. The previous experiences with overnight stays were with our Baxter who passed last year. PS: Now I have 2 new multiple nights stay with us and Boromir loves to have playmates. Our very first boarder from Rover Hunter was awesome, they either played hard or cuddled together, you would never guessed that they only just met at dropout. Then we had a friend pup stay with us and that went really well too but they already knew each other. P.p.s. in the past 3 months on Rover (and some from making friends on walks) we hosted 10 awesome pups in our house. Boromir proved to be awesome friend to all of them. He doesn't mind sharing his toys, treats, bed and especially me. So we will definitely keep doing this. Even few of my neighbors noticed and commented how happy I seem hosting.

A typical day

I provide lots of cuddles and long walks. I have fibromyalgia and need to take life easy so I'm always available for pets and snuggles. To save my energy I prefer to walk with dog instead walking from my home to yours so that's why my radius is only half mile but I can then do long walk with them. Right now I walk 3-5 miles walking 3 dogs almost every day on two separate walks.

Availability

I can work any day and early evening, I highly prefer cold and freezing temperatures for dog walking. The only problem I see is that I don't have my own car (I didn't need it anymore after I stopped working) so my radius is pretty small. If you would like to pay for my transportation then my radius can get to 5 miles.
