Pet care experience

I have always been a huge animal lover. Growing up with all kinds of animals I am very knowledgable and responsible. I currently have one dog named Edelweiss (a failed foster/ rescue) She is my world!! Edelweis and I continue to foster dogs looking for forever homes through Paws for Survival. Fostering dogs is rewarding and also a great way to have pups around! I grew up in CT with lots of dogs cats and a horse. I am a teacher so I have short work days and my weekends holidays and summers off. I live by the beach and the woods where there are plenty of great places to bring the dogs to walk or run ! I look forward to meeting you !

Ivy took great care of our pup. We will absolutely be using her again!

Ivy fosters for my rescue organization Paws4Survival. We bring dogs up from the streets of Puerto Rico and find them amazing homes. Due to their background, many of the dogs may frighten easily or have issues that need training or re-direction. Ivy is wonderful with every dog she fosters. She is caring, kind and extremely dog savvy. I am extremely happy to have her as part of our organization and would leave my own dogs with her if I ever had time to get away on a vacation :)

Ivy is incredibly trustworthy and loving towards all animals. She treats our dog and cat as if they are her own, and they adore her! She is flexible and reliable, even going so far as to stop by for an extra visit when our travel plans extended a little longer than anticipated. She takes the time to get to know the animals and what they need. I can't say enough great things about Ivy!

I have a fenced in yard, and on most days I leave the door open when I'm home so the pups can be in or out. There is a wonderful 2-3 mile walk around Deer Island in Winthrop. There are also several parks and the beach for shorter walks !
