Happy Zoomies and Cuddle Lover

Pet care experience

Hello human companions, I grew up loving, training, running, and rubbing the ears of our family's 17 year old brittany spaniel, Skylar. Being outdoor enthusiasts meant training a dog to return when necessary and be socially friendly. Allowing for the freedom a canine should have. Taught myself to become organized and strengthen my detail oriention to create my own businesses in tea and technology services. This same attention to detail makes me naturally intuitive in reading subtle body language in your companion. Whether they are feeling anxious, snuggly, or energetic you can feel confident and at ease knowing your special companion is spoiled, loved, and cared for while you are out. P.S. Cat care included. Rescued a kitten from Elizabeth Park in Hartford and she birthed 6 kittens. All to which went to responsible and loving homes. Thats Ellie in my profile picture.

Iain did not show up for the one-day drop in visit he'd agreed to and did not notify me. I am not sure if he had an emergency, but my money should be refunded and he should not be paid. He did not do the drop in visit on April 16 and did not check in on the Rover app as sitters usually do.

Iain was a great sitter for our cat over the holidays! We loved seeing his whimsical descriptions of the visits and the pictures were fantastic. His communication was great and was prompt for all his visits. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter, particularly a cat sitter in our case, and we will definitely be booking him in the future! Thanks Iain!

We had Iain for the third time recently. He’s an exceptionally conscientious and thoughtful pet sitter. He has a great way with our shy cat - always spends time on the visits playing with her. He communicates well and is good about answering his messages. We know we can trust Iain to get in our mail and do a thorough job cleaning the litter box and cat bowls. He even voluntarily cleared a path to our door when it snowed during our last trip!!

Iain did a fantastic job! We were away for a little over a week and everyday we looked forward to our rover card to get an update on our kitty! We really enjoyed hearing about how she was doing, and especially appreciated all of the pictures. Normally when we go away our kitty is super sad but she was so happy and well taken care of all week long! Definitely would recommend!!

Our cats are indoor cats. I'm training one cat to he comfort with a harness to go for outdoor excursions. Depending on your home situation if you need me to keep companions safe I will abide by your standards.

Information Iain M. would like to know about your pet

Give me the works. I want to know where that favorite spot to scratch is, what their favorite dish is, or how they like to play a certain way. Knowing who I am sitting will allow for the highest quality in care.

A typical day

The point of a walk to be outside (duh) and do what dogs do best, Run and Play! Take em' to the dog park, the beach, or wherever Mom and Dad like to go.

At the moment work is fluid as I work retail on the weekends. But if you ask with time in advanced I can request to block my schedule. During the week is more or less open. If we're a good fit we can discuss schedules.
