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.

Ivy did a great job watching our pups! I got daily photos and the house and pups were well taken care of. I will use her again in the future.

Ivy was great! She watched our 2 pups while we went out of town for a long weekend. 1 of our dogs has seizures and she had no issues administering meds 3x/day. Ivy so communicative, respectful, and reliable! Our dogs clearly loved her and enjoyed having her home with them. We have a second booking for Ivy to come back and we know our dogs are in great hands!

Always great! She communicates, sends photos, and my pets always seem more content and happy when we come home than they were when we left! You know they were loved and cared for! I never worry when Ivy sits for us!

Wow! JUST WOW! I had Ivy stay with my 2 GSD's for 6 days while I was away on vacation. I have never had anyone stay with them before. Ivy is amazing! They loved her so much. I can tell they were happy while I was gone because she is really good at sending pics and videos while you're away. And when I got home tonight, the house was immaculate, she washed laundry, is excellent worh instructions, and the dogs are super content. When I mentioned her ne they started crying (dog speak) and went to the front door looking for her, and then looked at the back door. I highly recommend Ivy.
