Your pet, my passion.
Pet care experience
I’ve worked with animals from a young age as an avid equestrian, Working Student at veterinary practices, raising several puppies and soon breeding pups! I have cared for just about any pet you can imagine! I was an active member and VP of my local FFA chapter allowing for exsposure to professional educators regarding pet care. I worked in equine rehabilitation and sports therapy. I have a large amount of experience with puppies, senior and special needs pups or cats!
Reviews
Ivy is compassionate and diligent. She has always treated all of my animals as if they were her own. What really stands out about Ivy is that she notices small changes that the average person may not realize are abnormal. These small details can make the difference between a healthy animal and a tragic situation. I have had Ivy working with all of my animals for a few years now. This includes several horses, miniature horses, dogs, tortoises, a cat and a donkey. My animals are always happy to see her and never seem upset that I was gone when I have to leave them in Ivy's care.

A typical day
I believe physical and mental stimulation is highly important for all animals no matter size age or energy level. I hope to make a specialized care plan for your dog or cat to better cater to their specific needs. I personally love finding new games to keep my dog happy as well as outdoor activities like hiking, swimming, parks and the horse barn.
