Pet care experience

Experienced with rescue and SN pets

I have lifetime experience taking care of family pets, including dogs of all kinds and cats, rescue and special needs. I grew up with a beautiful Labrador that was with us for 10 years and lovingly nursed as he grew up. I’ve worked as a dog and cat sitter for friends and acquaintances, I have experience administrating medication as well as other pet necessities, and love spending time with them. I also love walking as a workout for myself and with a dog it makes the perfect combo!

Sure! Here's a review you can leave for Ixchel's Rover profile: --- I can't recommend Ixchel enough! I was super nervous about leaving my elderly dog, Teddy, who needs medication twice a day, while I was on vacation in Colombia. Ixchel was the perfect person to care for him. She was so sweet and Teddy took to her right away. Throughout the week, she sent lots of update pictures and was in constant communication, responding quickly whenever I reached out. I felt so comfortable knowing Teddy was in such good hands. Ixchel truly went above and beyond, and I am incredibly grateful for the care she provided. She’s amazing, and I would trust her with Teddy again in a heartbeat!

Ixchel did an amazing job watching our dog last minute! She provided pictures and updates throughout the day, and was very flexible with pick-up and drop-off. We will definitely use her next time we're in the area.

Ixchel was awesome and very communicative! She sent pictures and checked in! Even added water to Maya’s bowl when she walked her. I will be using her services again!

Ixchel is fantastic! She requested a meet and greet with me and Toby before the sitting. After, Toby was happy and excited to see her again. She sent me pictures and is very responsive. 100% recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I have experience caring for dogs with special needs due to operation and other health concerns, as well as administrating medication. My complex has a beautiful courtyard garden and fenced pet area, perfect for dogs to run and play in a safe environment. De Longpre Park is a 10 min walk from the building and a fantastic place for pets, should you wish your dog to get a more extensive workout.

A typical day

A typical day will I include long walks around the neighborhood and playing at De Longpre Park, only a 10-minute walk from my building and a great place for pets. If there are any specific games or work outs your dog likes or needs to do I’ll make sure to include them in our daily routine!

Let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs or behaviors I should look out for, as well as any dietary or medication requirements, I’ll be happy to assist! I also love to know what a pet enjoys doing, their likes and dislikes, so they can be as comfortable as possible and have lots of fun!
