Neptune had a great time staying with Ivette. She got along with her dog and there is a nice backyard. We recommend her!

Wonderful and thoughtful as always ! So caring , very attentive and so loving to all three of my pups especially our newest rescue who is super timid. We will continue to ask Ms. Ivette to care for our babies.

Ivette was so kind!! She arranged a video meet and greet with me before hand since I was traveling from out of town and to ease my nerves. She absolutely spoiled our dogs while they were with her. They had endless treats, snuffle mats, and snuggles. Highly recommend!

Ivette is fantastic! I was super nervous having to find a new sitter for my fur baby. Ivette washed away all those fears. She is prompt. She is caring. She goes above and beyond taking care of your fur babies. She even fed my neighborhood squirrels for me while I was away!
