As an animal care professional, I have started every day with routine animal husbandry for a variety of animals; I have cared for mammals, reptiles, and invertebrates for over five years. In my home life, I have lived with cats and dogs. Currently, I only have a cat at home and I keep a feeding and cleaning daily routine.

About Ivy M.
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in your home, or walking pets, I aim to provide an enrichment and exercise focused care practice. Enrichment is a fundamental need of all animals and I believe in equally caring for their mental and physical needs. While walking pets, I walk with them at their pace and am happy to implement general training practices such as the focus command. While watching pets for an extended period, I prioritize meeting their needs on their regular routine and frequency/intensity so as not to disrupt their regular behaviors and needs.

Reviews
Ivy has been a fantastic pet sitter for us. They are reliable, communicative, and most importantly, beloved by our pets. It's always hard to leave your pets, be it for a day or a week- but when Ivy's pet sitting, I know they will be cared for and loved. Ivy's expansive animal care experience means we can trust them to administer medication as needed, and they even have experience with less "conventional" pets like reptiles and amphibians. I can confidently say I would recommend Ivy for all pet care needs.
I can’t recommend Ivy enough! They’re incredibly trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely love animals more than anyone I know. They have a natural way with pets and treat every animal like their own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Any pet would be lucky to spend time with them, and any pet owner can feel confident knowing their furry family member is in great hands!
