Home Full time/ 6’ fenced yard

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs all my life, just love them! Single family home, we have a 6’ fenced backyard, and we have 1 dog, he's 15 pound, an Irish Jack Russell who loves all other dogs! Irish Jacks are calmer than American Jack Russells, so they say!!! Dogs are just great! We would take care of your dog/dogs as if they were my own. I did take care of my Mom for 6 years who had Alzheimer’s but she passed March 2021 unfortunately. If you hire me , you will be very pleased. I’m truly dedicated, I ran two dental practices- I have worked 26 years for 1 employer and 18 years for another. Very responsible and loyal! Both My husband Joe and I are retired and home all day. Our dog has separation anxiety so we don’t leave him alone and neither would we leave your dog alone. Lots of outdoor time in the backyard weather permitting We have gates up so no dog can get out the front door, 6 foot fence, someone is home with your dog at all times, 24 hour care

The perfect “vacation” for our dog! Super attentive couple, terrific dog-friendly home with fully fenced backyard….and daily updates/pictures to let us know he was doing great (loved this!). Highly recommend as a Rover 5-star boarding option!

Rosie had a wonderful overnight stay with Ivonne and Joe! We could tell she was happy and well cared for. She got along great with Quincy and seemed to really enjoy having a canine companion during her visit. Rosie also loved spending time in their outdoor area, which gave her plenty of space to explore and relax. Ivonne was fantastic with Rosie and made us feel completely comfortable leaving her in their care. We appreciated the updates and the obvious attention and affection Rosie received throughout her stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Ivonne and Joe again. Highly recommended!
