Stress-free pet sitting

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Ivette. First and foremost, I am not a kennel, your dogs become a part of my family when they stay with me. Anything special that I would do for my dog I will do for yours. What that means is limitless cuddles, all the hugs, endless ear/belly rubs, praises for following commands, and the occasional holding of the 85-pound Labrador @3AM because he is scared of T-Storms. I truly love dogs and have since . There has never been a time in my life when my home was without a dog. I work hard to earn your dog's trust. I will always let your dog approach me first, with one hand extended so your pooch controls our interaction until we have established trust on both sides. I do not board or care for aggressive dogs as I am not professionally equipped to handle them. My main priority is safety for both your dogs and myself. The best thing you can do as a dog owner to ensure the safety of your pup and me is to let me know of any anxiety or triggers your dog may have, so I can ensure safety and comfort during their stay with me. I do not feed dogs from different homes together, and can only accommodate two pups at a time.

We had our golden retriever with Ivette, she was very good, communicated well and shared the pictures throughout the stay.

We have left our Mocha with Ivette twice now, ad she is simply amazing!! Our Mocha is very picky, and has some anxiety, and Ivette is amazing at taking care of her - treating her like her like one of her own dogs. We will definitely be looking to book Ivette when ever we need someone to look after Mocha.

Ivette is simply THE BEST! I never worry for a single second when Nova is in her care. Our fur babies are her fur babies!!!

Ivette was fantastic. First time using Rover and 0 complaints. Very friendly, great communication and took great care of our Dog Teddy. We will definitely try and use Ivette again anytime we need help watching our doggy.

My yard is fenced, and I never allow pups outside unsupervised. Dogs are like toddlers and have to be watched carefully regardless of size. We go outside to potty once ever hour to two hours. Dogs have access to water through out they day at three different water stations.

Information Ivette A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your baby has any special needs or requests. My 17 year old girl is experiencing kidney disease, so I am very familiar with injecting fluids and medicine. She is also very picky, and at times needs to be stimulated to be fed. So, I hand feed her at times when she is most nauseous. I also am a pro at getting dogs to actually take their medicine. Just let me know any requests you may have.

A typical day

I love speaking to dogs because it really stimulates their minds. I pay attention to dog behavior to see how your pet is feeling. If he is allowed treats, I would love to give them because this is a good way to establish trust with your dog.

I am home all day long, minus a few hours here and there for normal day to day errands. My main priorities right now are studying for the LSAT, and pet sitting on Rover full time. I work for a crisis center as a hospital advocate for women and children in Collin County when I am dispatched (overnight usually) I am gone for a couple of hours and then return.
