I have a Belgian Malinois which is one of the most active and energetic dog breads. I care for him daily from multiple walks, to feeding, brushing, and playing with him. I prioritize his well-being all while working a full time job. I work from 7 to 5 so we are up and at it by 4 AM. Then I come home to take care of my Maui. For clients, my availability will be from Monday to Sunday. I do not work from home but I work very close to my office so I could drop by in the afternoon to take your fur baby out to pee and stretch.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine while respecting your home. Here’s how I approach pet care: 1. Follow Your Instructions I adhere to the feeding schedules, dietary requirements, exercise routines, and any specific instructions you provide. Maintaining consistency is key to keeping pets comfortable and stress-free. 2. Keep Their Routine Pets thrive on routine, so I ensure walks, playtime, and naps happen as expected. I also take the time to engage with them in ways they enjoy, such as games or cuddling. 3. Maintain Hygiene I clean up after the pet, ensuring their spaces (e.g., feeding area, litter box, bedding) are always neat. If they need grooming, like brushing or wiping paws, I handle it with care. 4. Provide Plenty of Exercise and Attention Whether it’s walks, playtime in the yard, or indoor activities, I make sure they get the physical activity and mental stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy. 5. Ensure Safety I keep a close eye on them to prevent accidents, secure any areas they should avoid, and monitor for signs of illness or distress. 6. Respect Your Home I leave your home as I found it, keeping spaces clean and secure. I treat it with the utmost respect, ensuring you feel comfortable and at ease while away. Ultimately, my goal is to provide the love, care, and attention your pet deserves while maintaining the trust and comfort of their home environment.

Pet care experience
As the proud owner of a 4-year-old Belgian Malinois, I’ve developed a deep love and understanding of animal care. He’s my first dog, but my passion for watching over and nurturing animals has been lifelong. I believe exercise is key to a happy, healthy pet. I regularly take my dog on long walks and would ensure the same for your furry friend. Whether it’s playing, petting, or just spending quality time, I genuinely enjoy creating moments that bring joy to animals. Cleanliness and grooming are also priorities for me. I love brushing my dog and ensuring his coat stays healthy while keeping our home fur-free. You can trust that your pet’s hygiene will always be well cared for in my hands. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I would treat them as if they were my own.
Reviews
Ivy has taken care of my dog teddy a couple times, i always feel save leaving him with her. I appreciate how she always sends pictures and updates of him. He hardly wanted to leave when i went to go pick him up😂.
Ivy K. was an amazing cat sitter. She sent pictures, gave lots of treats and put my mind at ease the whole week I was away from my fur babies. At one point, she couldn’t find my girl kitty and I was convinced lil girl was just hiding, but Ivy made a point to seek her out and make sure she was okay. I’m so glad she did and didn’t listen to me, because my lil girl kitty got herself locked in the shower. Thank goodness for Ivy! My whole household loves her and request her every chance we get.
Ivy is extremely meticulous and caring when it comes to taking care of pets. She not only prioritizes her attention for her dog's needs, but also prioritizes the well-being of other individuals' furry friends. Ivy is a responsible pet caregiver, which is explicitly shown through the way she punctually feeds her dog, organizes multiple walks per day and other fun exercise alternatives, understands how to properly groom, and, most importantly, always makes sure that the dog feels loved and happy. I have never met someone who is so determined to create a happy environment for their pet. I have seen Ivy bond with many other animals such as cats, bunnies, hamsters, and other dogs so I believe that she is a good fit for the position. Ivy has a big heart for animals, and I strongly advocate that this trait is extremely important to have to become a responsible and loving pet caregiver.
Ivy takes such incredible care of our dog, ensuring he is exercised, groomed, and happy every single day. It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. Ivy does an amazing job making our dog happy, keeping a spotless house, and she loves taking pictures of our dog. Knowing Ivy, your pet will be in more than caring and capable hands to give you complete peace of mind. I couldn’t recommend Ivy enough she will truly go above and beyond!
