What Irene Offers

Care built around your pets, your plants, and your home

Every visit is personal — no franchise call centers, no rotating strangers. Just Irene, and the routine your home already knows.

Pet Sitting

In-home visits or overnight stays with feeding, meds, play, and cuddles on your pet's normal schedule.

Dog Walking

Solo leashed walks at your dog's pace, with fresh water and a quick recap waiting when you get home.

House Sitting

Mail, lights, trash days, and a lived-in feel while you're traveling — plus your pets stay in their own space.

Plant Care

Watering, light checks, and rotation for the houseplants and garden beds you don't want coming home to wilted.

Client Love

What families are saying

“

Irene is an absolute lifesaver. Our golden retriever is anxious around strangers, but he warmed up to her immediately. The daily updates and photos gave us so much peace of mind.

We travel often for work, and Irene is the only person we trust with our home. She even brought our mail in and watered our porch plants. Highly recommend!

Consistent, reliable, and just a wonderful person. Irene walks our two terriers every week while we are in the office. They practically wait by the window for her.
