Animals are people too
Pet care experience
I am a recent college graduate who loves all things animal related. I started dog walking and boarding for cats and dogs as a way to make some extra cash and make up for the fact that I can’t afford my own pet at the moment. I have volunteered at animal shelters walking dogs and engaging with the cats. I grew up with more than 3 animals in the home (Mix of cats and dogs) at once and prefer animals over the people at social gatherings. I also cared for a fresh puppy litter after birth, as well as pet-sat for multiple puppies among friends and family. I grew up wanting to be a veterinarian, but it broke my heart to think about giving an animal surgery so I would love to help make them happy in other ways such as playing catch, walking, or playing with catnip. I love every animal is if it were my own pet. I promise to respond with 24 hours and am open to meet and greets! I promise to send at least 2 updates per day, unless more are requested. My main goal is to build a trusting relationship with you and your pet!

Ivy is such a sweetheart. As long as I’ve known her she has always loved dogs and loved each one as her own. I know that she can’t have her own dog right now, so this opportunity is wonderful for her. I’m so glad she is doing this. She is the best with dogs (and all animals really). Please help support her by booking her. I personally wouldn’t want anyone else!
Ivy has always been so caring with my Troy. Every time she sees him, she lights up as much as he does. She makes every dog so welcome, as if they were a person. I love leaving Troy with her
Ivy did so well with my dog this last week. She was so caring and my puppy had a great time! She had a bed, food bowls, toys, and treats all for my dog, just like a doggy hotel. She was the perfect dog sitter. She even took my Maya out on walks and to the beach (after asking me first of course). A wonderful sitter.
As a first-time puppy owner, it was hard that first time we trusted someone else with our little Billie. But all of that went away when we came back and saw how much fun our dog Billie was having with Ivy. Wow, Ivy has done such an amazing job taking Billie for walks as well as watching Billie and keeping her busy playing and staying out of trouble. Ivy has made such an amazing connection with our dog that we can barely get her to leave Ivy when the party is over. Yes, that's how much fun our dog has with Ivy - it's like a party for her every time. I highly recommend Ivy to anyone here looking for a trustworthy person to sit for your dog.

I’m currently working a hybrid schedule which allows me to take breaks often with the pets while working from home. I like to stay active while working from home so walks often is something I enjoy
