I am playful & protective!

Pet care experience

Welcome to my profile! I have been caring for + rehabilitating animals into thriving health my entire life. Having grown up with dogs, cats, chickens, and wild animals, I understand that our furry friends are members of the family and need the highest level of care possible. I have experience walking and caring for dogs and cats of any size and age. When on walks or caring for pets, I am committed to giving them my undivided attention (no texting and walking!) and treat them as I would my own. Happy to accommodate for animals with special needs. I live on a large property and am able to provide animals with an abundance of exercise, fresh air, and activity! Thorough walks guaranteed. A tired dog is a happy dog! My love and passion for animals transfers into the high quality care I provide. With my experience in rehabilitating unwell animals, I can provide thorough and holistic care + attention towards every need. My intention is to up level their quality of life with my care! I look forward to giving many belly rubs soon!

Samantha aka Iris went above and beyond as my house/pet sitter. I was very nervous leaving my highly reactive beagle alone with a stranger for the first time. But her experience with dogs shows and my beagle was able to relax with her as if they had always been friends. She received great care with walks and playtime. Iris also took loving care of my cats, and they were very happy while I was gone. I received daily updates so I knew my fur babies were safe and sound. My house was tidy when I returned home, with all of my instructions followed perfectly. For the first time I feel safe leaving my home and I recommend her pet caregiving 100% 10/10. Thank you!

Samantha is the most reliable and caring dog/house sitter we've worked with. Amazing with communication, planning, and thinking from others' perspectives. One of those people all pets love! And people too!

Iris has taken care of our house full of animals multiple times and has gone above and beyond in her love and care for them. We are so grateful to her and can’t recommend her enough to anyone who wants the very best for their pet(s).
