Ian's Pet Services

My name is Ian . I am a dog lover and recent owner. I have owned dogs my entire life. I have had many breeds and sizes of dogs as well as dogs with special needs. I have a large home with a large yard. There is plenty of green grass outside. The inside is pretty spacious with no furniture restrictions. They can make themselves at home. Your furry family member(s) will be able to roam freely unless you prefer that they don't. The neighborhood is very quiet with many trails and paths that dogs love for walking. It could be a good choice if your looking for a low stress, relaxing stay for your pups. I used to own two dogs here but they both passed away within the past 2 years. So there are currently no pets living here. Under my care, your dog will have plenty of one on one attention and will not be left alone for long periods of time. I can provide long walks once or more times per day as requested. If you need a flexible and caring person to treat your dog with love, I am your guy. Please, three dogs maximum. We can discuss exceptions to this policy. I am also available for house sitting and drop ins. FIRST TIME BOARDERS PLEASE GIVE 48 HOURS NOTICE BEFORE DROP OFF. If your dog is boarding with me for the first time, I can not guarantee your booking for last minute requests. Thank you!

Ian watched our dogs for 10 days, I was nervous to be away for so long but everything went smoothly and I was able to relax knowing they were in good hands. There was clear communication and he responded to my questions right away. Thank you and we will see you again!

We had a great experience with Ian and his dad, Tim! Me and my husband are super picky when it comes to who watches Doback, so we’re always a little nervous trying someone new, but they put us at ease. It was also a big plus that they have a yard. Doback is used to having space to roam around, so it was nice knowing he had that kind of environment. We don’t leave him outside on his own, but it definitely made us feel better that he was somewhere with space he’s comfortable with. You can tell they took good care of him. One thing that stood out right away was when we picked Doback up, he was clean, didn’t smell at all, and looked happy and energetic. We’ve had past experiences with other sitters where he would come back smelling dirty and looking really tired or stressed, so this honestly meant a lot to us. This time, he was still super energetic, in a great mood, and just seemed like himself, which says everything. We would absolutely trust Ian and Tim with Doback again and would love to have them watch him in the future. Thank you both so much for taking such good care of him!

Ian and his dad have a big house with a big yard. Peach enjoyed playing fetch with them and being walked around the neighborhood. Ian asked important questions and kept me informed over the course of the visit. Peach will definitely be back.

Ian is amazing! My dogs have so much fun at his place. My cattle dog even loves being there and she does not like anyone!

Ian was very responsive to my questions and made me feel comfortable about leaving my high maintenance dogs for the weekend. He sent photos and let me know how they were doing.

I really appreciated the meet and greet. 😊 Ian was such a great communicator and took the time to get to know Zoey right from the start. He gave me thoughtful feedback and updates throughout their time together, even taking photos, which I truly appreciated. It was clear that Zoey enjoyed being around him, and I felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring.

Please let me know any quirks, triggers or special needs your dog has. I am very adaptable and understand that all dogs and owners are different. Everyone's routine is different, and I would like to make the experience as close to normal as possible. The dog's comfort is my priority.
