Highlights
Pet care experience
Bush pro dog care and house sitting
I’ve had dogs my entire life and take their care and well-being seriously, no matter what life throws my way. I’ve personally trained and cared for my dog Addie to work alongside me during summers in remote bush environments. This includes riding in helicopters, ATVs, and staying calm and well-behaved around wildlife such as wolves and grizzly bears. In the off-season, we travel to Mexico, where I’ve gained additional experience caring for Addie in busy and unpredictable environments—navigating interactions with street dogs, adapting to hot climates, and maintaining consistency despite frequently changing settings. I also trained him to live on a sailboat... check us out on this multi night crossing of the sea of cortez! Go to YT and search "Vet Tails Sailing Chuffed - Female Captain Sails across Sea of Cortez with a dog." (Rover wont let me post the link haha). I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog as well. We can start with relaxed neighborhood walks to build trust and comfort, and—if appropriate—progress to safe, supervised off-leash time in nature so your dog can explore and enjoy themselves.

Ratings and reviews
Ian was amazing with Hugz while we were away for a week. When we first booked he set up the time for a meet and greet and was super flexible on the timing. He was very communicative with us sharing updates and pictures. Ian clearly loves dogs, he took Hugz on daily walks, to the parks and even took her out swimming. She got the best vacation! Ian’s dog Addy got along really well with ours which was an added bonus. Highly recommend Ian and will definitely book him again
Ian is amazing! My dog Fin had a blast and Ian updated me often and always with pics of the boy! I recommend 100%, thank you again Ian!
Ian was very friendly and clearly loved caring for dogs. We will definitely be calling again soon.
Great experience with Ian. Cordial, prompt and easy going. He made Junior my dog feel right at home and when I picked up my dog, he looked happy and energized. Like he had a good time. Thanks so much.
Kobe loved walking with Ian! Ian was able to manage Kobe who is a strong bully breed, he kept him safe and made sure he got everything out of his walk that he needed!
Ian was responsible, flexible and communicative. He rescued my dad out of a tight bond and even managed to tame a very hyoer belgian malinois. True life saver and miracle worker!
