A loving home for your furbaby

Pet care experience

Hello pawrents :), Welcome to my page ! My name is Ivonne and my love for animals started as a young child. I’ve had many furbabies ranging from bunnies, goats, a pig and dogs :). I've had a passion for rescuing furbabies since I was about 5 yrs old and successfully snuck many injured, or strayed animals home ; luckily for me my parents are animals lovers and allowed me to keep them . They could also tell you endless stories of all the creative explanations I gave them as to how an animal moved in to our house by him/herself ;) , haha. As an adult, I’ve had dogs and bunnies, mostly rescues, through adoption or from unwanted homes. My oldest rabbit passed away at the age of 12 yrs old years ago following the passing of his mate from old age . Over my 20 years experience, I’ve worked with rescues, animals with physical and mental disabilities and special needs. My experiences have exposed me to many different personalities and has allowed me to witness the incredible resilience, love and loyalty that animals have. Every furbaby is special and every single one has something unique that makes them, them. My promise to you : As a pawrent I understand the anxiety that can come from leaving your furbaby with a caregiver. Allow me to reassure you that I will treat your furbaby as if they were my own. I will treat them with respect, kindness, compassion, understanding and will give them plenty of love, cuddles , playtime , exercise and make sure we have a good time together while you are gone. I will follow your guidelines, I will follow their schedule, I will send you pictures, videos and can do video calls if you’d like . I offer services for dogs, cats, rabbits and bird. About my place : I live in a large apartment, I don’t have a backyard but do have a beautiful park right across my place where your pup can run. I also have several other dogs parks near by and lots of hiking trails . Services: - Walking services ( prices are for up to 30 mins) -Daily drop-in visits for feedings, medicine administration, potty break, cuddles and playtime -Boarding ( your furbaby stays at my home) - Housesitting (I stay at your home) The pictures posted are of some of the furbabies I’ve had the pleasure to care for. References available upon request :) A little side note: I have a valid reliability background check from the federal government as well as vulnerable sector check which was completed June 2022. I have my CPR & first aid certificate for both humans and pets.

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.
