Pet care experience

I have three fur babies living with me, a Siberian Husky named Maia & a Great Pyrenees/Aussie named Lana. Our newest addition is Iori/Eeyore/Baby who is a black and tan Shiba Inu. They are all ESAs & I have trained them myself. Maia has additional training to be a service dog, which pairs well with her highly intuitive instinct. I enjoy playing fetch or frisbee with my puppos. I take them to the dog park or dog beach and let them run around & play. I love watching how happy and carefree they are when they’re out with their doggy friends. I have had the pleasure of walking and sitting different sized dogs, breeds, & multiple dogs at one time (max per household is 5). If you want me to walk or sit your medium or large dog, please be sure that your dog will not bite/attack anyone. I have also trained numerous puppies - both young and older. I don’t charge extra for either (this is included in a drop-in if requested or discussed during the meet and greet and/or prior to sessions — if you’re a regular/repeat client. Usually requires one hr drop-ins for puppies). I’ve worked with senior dogs in their “teen” years (13+) who may need extra support with their hind legs or use wheelchairs. I try to be flexible in my scheduling when my schedule permits it. I am okay with last minute bookings or short notice since I’ve needed that in the past for my dogs. And also assuming I’m available.

Ivi was very patient with my shy cats and was persistent to win their trust during the time of her service. Her daily report cards kept me updated with how everything was going and gave me a great level of assurance that they were getting the best care. She even vacuumed up the stray litter tracked in the house! I would recommend her and plan to use her again in the future.

Ivi is a new walker for my doggy. She is very sweet and patient with my pet. I would highly recommend Ivi.

Ivi did amazing!! This was my first time hiring a dog sitter so I was a little nervous but she was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. My fur babies loved her too. I would definitely recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment

I am always aware of my environment and make sure your loved ones are kept safe within their neighborhood and community. Please let me know if you are okay with your pet(s) saying hi to other people or dog(s) or would prefer we steer clear of others. I will always make sure the other dog owner also gives permission prior to introducing your dog to another. ***In the event that, I believe your dog has ingested something hazardous and/or is otherwise injured, while no one is home, I will let you know ASAP and if you are unavailable I will bring your dog to your vet or emergency vet (whichever will accept us the soonest).***

Information Ivi K. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any special needs, medical conditions, behaviors (will NOT accept aggressive dogs OR dogs with a bite history sorry), and/or how is your typical routine or schedule you abide by (strict or lax)? Is your dog/puppy fully potty trained? If not, how far is he or she in their potty training? Is your dog/puppy leash trained? Does your dog walk calmly on the leash or is he/she a puller? Is there anything else I need to know or anything you would like me to know in advance? (:

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. If we’re on a walk, we’ll check out the smells while exploring your neighborhood, if there is a dog park within walking distance we might go there if it’s okay with you/the owner. If your dog loves to run and/or play fetch we can do that in your backyard, at a relatively secluded dog park, or with other people at a dog park with more foot traffic if your dog doesn’t easily get distracted. I like to walk dogs or puppies but also like to get a chance to play with them and get to know them a bit. I believe the way to a dog’s soul is through play.
