I'm currently working remotely so I am happy to play and cuddle with your furry baby. I enjoy spending time with dogs. They can understand what we say so I learn from them as much as they do from us.

Information Iwona W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I should know about to keep him/her safe and happy. I like to ask how a typical day at home usually looks like.

A typical day

Dogs are social animals and one of the ways they build and learn about relationships and communication is through play. I will play with your dog regularly to learn about your dog’s personality. By preventing boredom, providing exercise and giving an outlet for your dog's natural instincts, play can ensure your pup is happy.

Your furry friend is my friend

Pet care experience

There is an unbreakable bond between a dog and their human and it's important to keep it alive. Your dog will get the same care and friendly family atmosphere he has at home. I currently telework full time. Your dog will get extra attention because I work in a dog-friendly "office". My schedule is flexible and I'm able to administer medications if there is a need. I have a huge fenced back yard. Your furry baby will have plenty of fresh outdoor space and enjoy all the comforts of our home. We take long walks around the neighborhood as well.

As always, Iwona did an amazing job caring for our boy while we were traveling for two weeks. We got great daily updates and we're able to relax knowing he was well looked after.

We leave Sam, our Cavalier, with Iwona every year while on vacation. We just wrapped up a 9 day trip to Europe. Iwona always take good care of Sam and he is a handful. She takes him for daily walks when he is not playing in her expansive backyard. Having boarded with Iwona over the past few years, we know Sam is safe and indeed he is enjoying his own vacation. While on our trip, we received pictures of Sam from Iwona daily. It is easy to see Sam is being well taken care of and he is happy. Thank you Iwona.

Second time we've left both our dogs with Iwona for over a week, and once again she's been awesome. Daily communication and photos showing of our dogs having fun of made us feel very confident our dogs were being well taken care of!
