About Ivonne

Hello pawrents :),

Welcome to my page ! My name is Ivonne and my love for animals started as a young child. I’ve had many furbabies ranging from bunnies, goats, a pig and dogs :). I've had a passion for rescuing furbabies since I was about 5 yrs old and successfully snuck many injured, or strayed animals home ; luckily for me my parents are animals lovers and allowed me to keep them . They could also tell you endless stories of all the creative explanations I gave them as to how an animal moved in to our house by him/herself ;) , haha. As an adult, I’ve had dogs and bunnies, mostly rescues, through adoption or from unwanted homes. My oldest rabbit passed away at the age of 12 yrs old years ago following the passing of his mate from old age .
Over my 20 years experience, I’ve worked with rescues, animals with physical and mental disabilities and special needs. My experiences have exposed me to many different personalities and has allowed me to witness the incredible resilience, love and loyalty that animals have. Every furbaby is special and every single one has something unique that makes them, them.

My promise to you : As a pawrent I understand the anxiety that can come from leaving your furbaby with a caregiver. Allow me to reassure you that I will treat your furbaby as if they were my own. I will treat them with respect, kindness, compassion, understanding and will give them plenty of love, cuddles , playtime , exercise and make sure we have a good time together while you are gone. I will follow your guidelines, I will follow their schedule, I will send you pictures, videos and can do video calls if you’d like . I offer services for dogs, cats, rabbits and bird.

About my place : I live in a large apartment, I don’t have a backyard but do have a beautiful park right across my place where your pup can run. I also have several other dogs parks near by and lots of hiking trails .

Services:
- Walking services ( prices are for up to 30 mins)

-Daily drop-in visits for feedings, medicine administration, potty break, cuddles and playtime

-Boarding ( your furbaby stays at my home)

- Housesitting (I stay at your home)

The pictures posted are of some of the furbabies I’ve had the pleasure to care for.

References available upon request :)

A little side note: I have a valid reliability background check from the federal government as well as vulnerable sector check which was completed June 2022. I have my CPR & first aid certificate for both humans and pets.

I'm currently on a hybrid schedule for work, I rotate 1 week working from home and 1 week working from the office but have the luxury of being able to switch if needed to fit your furbabies needs.

I live alone, I don’t have have any pets.Your furbaby is allowed on all furniture and is welcome to sleep with me if allowed by you.

Ivonne did a wonderful job caring for my furr babies. Communication was amazing, send me tons of videos and pictures each visit. She made my cats her priority and you could really tell she cared. The cats were super happy to have her over and can't wait to see her again 😊
