Pet care experience

A lifetime of friendly pets!

I grew up in a house with both cats and dogs where everyone got along great! Once I moved out of the house I adopted my first rescue dog and have had dogs as pets ever since. Currently fostering dogs for Orange County Animal Services and have helped them get several dogs adopted into forever homes. I have regularly helped friends with dogsitting and housesitting while they are away from home, and have taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Trusting our pets with someone else is a big step, so I take their safety and security very seriously. When walking a dog I'm always cautious about traffic, strangers, or other pets that have been let off leash. Building trust with your pet is the best way to keep them safe so they can see you again soon!

This is my second time booking with Ian and I can’t recommend him enough. Maui was well taken care of and my home found exactly how I left it. He’s reliable and lovely to work with.

If I could leave 6 stars for Ian, I would. We did a meet and greet and what stood out to me was how attentive he was and how he took notes on both Maui and my homes care. While away, Ian kept me updated on how Maui was doing and ensured he was happy. I truly appreciate how much Ian respected my home and left it tidy and clean.

Ian has taken care of our three dogs on many occasions. He is very professional, and our dogs are always very excited to see him! Coming home to tuckered out pups is the icing on the cake!
