Pet care experience
My name is Ivy and I am an artist/musician/ also pursuing my master's in applied criminology. I am more of an animal person than a people person (ha) and grew up in a home where dogs and cats were regarded as members of the family. I have additional experience volunteering at various animal shelters and walking dogs. Tidbits I am super comfortable around big dogs. They don’t intimidate me. On the contrary, I find they make the best cuddle buddies. I also love the little guys. I prefer dogs/cats to bi-peds. :) If I went to Hogwarts, I would be a Slytherin.
Reviews
My dog was extremely well cared for
Ivy was great! She was very communicative from the start and was understanding when I had to reschedule. She stayed at my house and kept me updated with daily pics and her schedule to ensure Buddy was well taken care of. She also kept my house tidy and clean during her stay. Will definitely use again!
Ivy was great. Would recommend
My dogs were well taken care of. Provided regular updates, photos and videos as requested.
About Ivy R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I grew up in an environment where dogs/cats were given free rein of the home as if they were just another member of the family; I will respect other's desires if they chose to not have their animals on the furniture/all over the place, but I am comfortable with dogs/cats being everywhere/anywhere. I realize, that as they can be childlike -- there needs to be certain measures in place to ensure their safety, keeping things off the floor/ away from their inquisitive natures.
Information Ivy R. would like to know about your pet
- does the dog have any aggressive tendencies? -does the dog take any prescription meds? -allergies? -illness? History of injuries? --if I see the dog limping---I will worry and text but, if the dog has hip issues that sometimes flares up-- i will have a better idea of how to precede
A typical day
I mean, I actually enjoy playing with dogs and cats and usually, my antics depend on the animal in question. If the dog enjoys a silly human doing weird things to get them to react in a playfully dog way ---I will take them for walks, chase them, chase the ball, i sing --- but if the dog is more chill, we can just watch tv together or go for a walk.
