Pet care experience

Hi there! I am the ultimate animal lovers, and have a soft spot for dogs, love them all! I enjoy volunteering through DFW Rescue Me and helping out dogs in need when I can. I have a 5 year old dachshund mix. His name is Elliott and he is spoiled rotten! He has a loud, deep bark (all bark, no bit!) but is generally very calm. He has never met a dog he did not get along with. I live in a spacious, single-story apartment at The Village. Every day I take my dog on walks around the “lakes” (aka man-made ponds) and your pup would just be an added bonus that gets to join in on the fun. I love to be outdoors. I like to keep any dogs I care for active, social, and spared from boredom as much as possible. When your dog stays with me you can be assured that he/she will be loved, get plenty of exercise and get a mini vacation of their own! Even though I love all dogs, my dog-sitting preferences are to take care of dogs that are dog-friendly and generally social since I like to go on outings where they're likely to interact with other dogs. I know what it's like to be away and missing your best friend and how I would want my dog to be treated. Your dog will get at least a 15-30 minute walk in the morning, and again in the afternoon & evening. I would like to know as much as possible about your dog to make them feel at home with us. Any quirks or fears, how they act in different situations, etc.

Ivy has always put her puppies before her own self! You can always count on her to send you the cutest photos of your pups too when she is sitting while you're away! She treats every dog as if it was her own by loving and caring for each and every one of them! Ivy is definitely someone you can trust for your dog to be in great hands with!

Ivy has looked after my dog, Mojo, on several occasions. She is wonderful about communicating throughout and treating my pet like her own. Most importantly, she is very personable and easy-going. It’s always nice coming home to a tired pup. Any pet (and owner) would be lucky to have her as a dog-sitter.

Well, if it is any testimony of her love for animals, my pups go crazy when she stays to take care of them! I think they actually get more attention. Ivy is mature, responsible, loving and caring. It is such a comfort knowing my babies will be loved and well taken care of while I am away. She has made my hectic life less stressful by having someone I can always depend on for my pets!

I have never met anyone who loves their rescue dog as much as Ivy loves Elliot. She is seriously the best dog mom ever. My rescue, Shorty, loves when he gets to stay with Ivy and E and I always know he's in great hands. I actually had the privilege of living with Ivy when we graduated from college and We decided to get our first dog, Bailey. He we our first dog as adults and he was the luckiest rescue ever, his new life was filled with so so much love. Eventually I moved to Austin and Bailey came with me but he visited Ivy on a regular basis and many times for extended periods. Bailey ended up being diagnosed with congestive heart failure but we were able to find medication and a new lifestyle that worked and we got 6 more healthy and happy months with him before he eventually passed. During those 6 months bailey had a very strict diet and prescription schedule but that didn't stop him from visiting his aunt Ivy. Again, I knew B was in great hands with Ivy and she would follow his restrictions and instructions very closely. My pups and I are lucky to have such a thoughtful, loving and responsible person in our lives.
