Safety, trust & environment

I’m very list orientated so making a good list/schedule for your pet care is my top priority. I make sure I play with all my pets for a little while a few times a day when I’m home and give multiple pets individual attention. If I'm gone for work or something other I’m never out for more than a few hours.

Pet care experience

For about 4-5 years I’ve been on and off taking care of dogs from puppies to elders. I’ve helped raise and train my parent’s puppies for the past three years and have helped all sorts of family, friends and neighbors with all sorts of dogs. I have a cat and have cat-sat others for about 2-3 years as well as helped with reptiles, fish, rodents and birds.

Ivy was a wonderful walker for Hershey! We appreciated her patience with our tricky pup.

Ivy really went above and beyond for me today and honestly saved my trip from the beginning. I needed to leave a day earlier than I originally planned and Ivy accommodated a booking into her schedule a day earlier. When she arrived (on time both times) however my gremlin of a dog gave her 30-45 minutes of terror in which she sat on the floor to show she wasn’t a threat. We communicated and agreed she’d try again a couple hours later after he finished a bone I stupidly gave him before I walked out of the door. Her patience and skill kept me from having to turn around and drive 6 hours home and cancel my trip. When she came back he acted as a grown dog and she was able to walk and feed him! Based on these events I would hire Ivy again and suggest her to other pet parents.

Ivy did a great job taking care of our 3 cats. She played with them and gave them food and treats every day. She also took the initiative to cover up furniture that was getting scratched. She was also willing to accommodate special requests.
