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.

Reviews
Ivy is fantastic!
This is the 2nd time that we used Ivy. She did a wonderful job with our 2 dogs. We got lots of photos while we were gone, she went for walks and the dogs were well taken care of. Will use her again in the future.
Ivy has watched our two Dobermans multiple times now and she always does a great job! I feel comfortable and able to enjoy my vacation knowing they are loved and taken care of while I’m away.
Always treats our dog and cat like her own! I never have to worry when Ivy is sitting! Love her!
