A loving home for your furbaby

Hello Pawrents :) Welcome to my page! I'm Ivonne, and my love for animals began in my childhood. I've had the joy of caring for a variety of furbabies, from bunnies and goats to a pig and dogs. Since the age of five, I've been passionate about rescuing animals, often bringing home injured or stray pets. Fortunately, my animal-loving parents supported me and embraced these new family members. They could share countless stories of my creative explanations for how an animal found its way into our home! As an adult, I've continued this journey, caring for dogs and bunnies, primarily through rescues and adoptions. My oldest rabbit lived to 12 years, following the passing of his mate from old age. With over 20 years of experience, I've worked with rescues and animals with physical and mental disabilities and special needs. These experiences have introduced me to a wide range of personalities, showcasing the incredible resilience, love, and loyalty that animals possess. Each furbaby is unique and special in their own way. My Promise to You: As a fellow pawrent, I understand the anxiety of leaving your furbaby with a caregiver. Rest assured, I will treat your furbaby as if they were my own, with respect, kindness, compassion, and plenty of love, cuddles, playtime, and exercise. I will follow your guidelines and their schedule, providing regular updates with pictures, videos, and even video calls if you wish. I offer services for dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds. About My Place: I live in a spacious apartment without a backyard, but there's a beautiful park right across the street where your pup can run. Additionally, there are several dog parks and hiking trails nearby. Services: - Walking Services (prices for up to 30 minutes) - Daily Drop-in Visits (feedings, medicine administration, potty breaks, cuddles, and playtime) - Boarding (your furbaby stays at my home) - Housesitting (I stay at your home) The pictures posted are of some of the wonderful furbabies I've had the pleasure of working with.

I am beyond grateful for Ivonne’s care of my senior cat during his stay with her! From the very start, she was incredibly attentive to Cedric’s specific needs, especially since he’s a picky eater. Ivonne went above and beyond by making homemade chicken broth and chicken pâté for him, which he absolutely loved. Her kindness and dedication were evident in every aspect of his care. She kept me updated regularly with photos, videos and messages, which made me feel so reassured while I was away. It is clear that Ivonne has a true passion for animals, and I felt confident that my pet was in the best hands. I can’t thank Ivonne enough for her exceptional service, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter!

Yvonne offre un excellent service de gardiennage! Elle est douce et attentive aux besoins des animaux. De plus, elle nous donne des nouvelles plusieurs fois pendant le séjour. Notre petit chien semble avoir adoré son séjour avec elle. Merci!

Ivonne was wonderful with my little pups. I got lots of pictures and videos and it was clear they had a fabulous time with her. They took to her really quickly, and had lots of fun. They are big snugglers and they received oodles of love. What a great experience, I will definitely book again.

Ivonne was the best! This was the first time leaving our cats with anyone. She made them feel right at home and took great care of them! She sent us photos and videos of them during their stay letting us know that they were doing well. We would not hesitate to use her again.

Safety, trust & environment

My approach to pet care is personalized to ensure each furbaby feels comfortable, safe, and loved, whether they are in my home or yours. Here’s how I care for pets based on the service you choose: **In My Home:** I live alone and currently do not have any pets of my own, allowing me to dedicate all my attention to your furbaby. They are welcome to relax on all furniture and can even sleep with me, provided you’re comfortable with it. My home is a spacious apartment with easy access to a nearby park, perfect for playtime and exercise. **In Your Home:** When caring for your pet in your home, I make sure to follow your guidelines and maintain their regular routine. I provide the same level of love, attention, and care as I would in my own home. Your furbaby will receive plenty of cuddles, playtime, and exercise, ensuring they feel secure and happy in their familiar environment. No matter where I care for your pet, my priority is their well-being and happiness, ensuring they feel right at home.

A typical day

While under my care, your furbaby and I will engage in a variety of fun activities tailored to their needs and preferences. For dogs, we'll enjoy plenty of outdoor time, including walks in the park and play sessions. All furbabies will have ample playtime, ensuring they stay active and entertained. Additionally, your pets will receive lots of love and cuddles, creating a comforting and affectionate environment. Rest assured, your furbabies will be in excellent hands, receiving abundant love and attention while you're away.
