Join the Pack 🐾
Need someone to care for your pet while you're at work, in class, or away for the day? Whether it's a game of tug-of-war, a walk around the neighborhood, mealtime, or cleaning up the occasional mess, I'm here to help. Pets deserve plenty of love and attention, even when life gets busy! I love meeting new furry friends and getting to know their unique personalities. Feel free to send me a message—I'll do my best to respond as quickly as possible. Our pet-sitting journey began with Rover in Boston in 2020 and continued while we lived in Philadelphia. Now that we're in Raleigh, we're excited to keep growing our pack and welcoming new four-legged friends! I've cared for dogs of all sizes, from Bernese Mountain Dogs to Mini Doxies, so size is never an issue. As proud Husky lovers, we're experienced with a wide range of personalities and energy levels. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime at the dog park, or simply some extra companionship, we'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Join the pack—we can't wait to meet your best friend!

Ratings and reviews
Maple had a great time staying with Ivy and loved playing with their dog Sky. I appreciated all of the pictures and daily updates and it was clear Maple felt right at home during her stay. We would definitely book again!
Amazing! Ivy was fantastic!! Needed a last-minute sitter and couldn't have lucked out better. Got the most adorable pics and updates. Will book again!!
Ivy is an awesome sitter! She is communicative and sends multiple updates through the day; I love getting cute mid-play action pics! Her dog, Skylar, is just the cutest and is super friendly. My pup wasted no time warming up to her and playing right away. Will definitely book again ☺️
My dog had so much fun with Ivy and Sky! Ivy took really good care of my dog for the week, took my dogs to walks and dog parks several times a day and was super responsive on giving me updates every day!
Ivy & Sky were the perfect hosts for our quick trip. Sky and our pup are both huskies and they got along so well. Ivy was very helpful with questions beforehand, planning a meet and greet, and she even helped us out with some dog walking tips. She gave us updates several times a day and was super flexible with timing for pickup/drop off. Ivy is highly recommended and we will be booking with her again soon!
Ivy was great! She responded quickly and was flexible with our travel times. My dog was very comfortable in her place, super happy playing with her dog, and we loved getting all the pictures. My dog has lots of energy and she took my dog on walks and to dog parks all in a 24 hour stay!

Schedule
Malik and I both work from home, so we’ll be able to monitor the our fur babies the whole time! We like to bring our dog to the dog park daily and bringing a new friend will be no problem (must be friendly, of course)
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a friendly Husky that can keep your dog company! If needed, I can separate them by keeping them in different rooms, but my Husky is typically the unbothered and independent one and will remain in her bed if she senses that make dog is uncomfortable/needs space.
Pets
A typical day
I love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. We’ll play a bunch of games and take a walks to a few nearby dog parks!

- Feel free to let me know anything and everything about your dog! I love getting to know them and make sure they feel at home! So whether they like to cuddle or sleep on the floor, I’m happy to accommodate either! Please let me know if your dog has any allergies ahead of time, because I love to give out treats (in moderation, of course)! Sometimes I like to throw in a few training tricks with treats!!
