Sitter, up-tographer extraordinaire
PLEASE READ BEFORE MESSAGING ABOUT DOG SITTING. Hello, and thank you for stopping by :D I have grown up around dogs and cats my entire life, and I am excited to bring my love of animals to you! I have cared for many kinds of dogs, as well as many sizes, from Cocker Spaniels and Maltese dogs, to body builder American Bullies and Great Danes. I recently purchased my home and I live in a three bedroom two bathroom house with a full basement and a seperated fenced front and backyard. I am able to accommodate dog friendly and dog aggressive dogs and give them all the love and attention they need. I am most well equipped for boarding but I can do sitting in your home on rare occasions, feel free to message me with whatever needs you and your pup(s) have!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Ivy was a wonderful sitter for our dog Buddy. Buddy tends to be an anxious dog, but seemed at ease with Ivy. Ivy spent time getting to know Buddy before our sitting appointment, and asked great questions in advance, testimony to her experience and professionalism. She watched Buddy in our home for several days, and kept us posted on Buddy's activities and sent photos. She is very self sufficient and left the house as clean and organized as it was when she got there - you couldn't even tell someone else had been there! We feel very fortunate that we got to meet Ivy. We trusther withour dog and home. She is a wonderful dog person and sitter and we hope to have her help again in the future. Definitely recommend!
We've booked with Ivy several times in the past, but due to COVID weren't able to travel for quite some time. We recently were able to reunite our pets with their favorite sitter, and she was clearly back and as wonderful as ever. She sent the best pictures, worked with us to accommodate communications internationally, and left our home cleaner than we left it. She's simply the best. To say we recommend her is an understatement. We'd be lost without Ivy.
This is my second time booking with Ivy for drop in visits for my cat. She is super responsive, thoughtful and sends the best pics! I can tell my cat loves to see her. Thank you Ivy!!
Ivy is one of my favorite pet sitters I've ever used on Rover! Incredibly responsive and trustworthy, Ivy clearly takes each job very seriously and went to great efforts to make us feel at ease that our cat was comfortable and cared for. Ivy has a huge heart and I would 200% recommend her!! Thank you Ivy!
We've used Ivy several times and she is absolutely incredible. She is able to give my evil kitty her medicine and sends the best pictures. She is extremely communicative and also does things like bringing in our mail/packages, cleaning up messes that our kitties make, etc. It's priceless to me to have someone take such great care of our cats but she is extremely affordable regardless. So happy we found her. I almost didn't want to leave this review because I don't want anyone to steal her away!
Ivy did a great job with our dogs! She kept us very up to date, and we didn’t come home to any messes or issues at all! We will be having her back again and again!

Schedule
I currently work from home and am on a very flexible schedule, so I can set up in your home and interact with your pup all day!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I know I want the best for my pets, so I always strive to give the best service possible to my clients. I treat your pets as my own, and I love to take them on adventures with me to new hiking spots, or just exploring in nature! I always carry treats and water, and I make sure we are both well prepared for any situation to arise. I work from home so I am there almost 24/7 except grocery runs and regularly scheduled walks.
Pets
A typical day
I love to go to dog parks, regular parks, or anywhere outside. I try to be outdoors as much as possible if the weather is nice, even if it's just hanging out in the backyard :)
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsUnspayed females accepted, neutered males onlyNo females in heatIvy can host up to 2 pets per night
- I do not prefer any type of breed; the only detail I'd like to know is if they are aggressive towards other dogs/have any triggers so I can be well prepared! Please let me know of any medications your pet takes, as well as the times they are used to eating/walking :)
