Pet care experience

Hello, I am Ian Barber, I am a dog lover through and through. I have been involved with dogs for the last 8 continuous years and a proud owner of Maverick for over 4 years. Family and friends have reached out to me to tend to their dogs while they have been away for a day or more.

Ian was awesome with Gina! She came home so happy. The pictures he sent me made me feel like she was in good hands.

Ian spoils Sasha with walks, runs, and plenty of love and attention during her stays with him. She clearly enjoys staying with him, which means worry-free travel for me. Appreciate his flexibility on drop off and pick up times. Could not ask for better care for Sasha than what Ian provides!

Ian did a wonderful job handling my hyperactive Visla and not so hyperactive Doberman, and they looked like they had a great time! Great communication throughout. Highly recommend!

The stay over with Ian was our puppies first night away from us. Ian took good care of her and she came home a happy puppy.

Information Ian B. would like to know about your pet

A heads up on any quirks, needs, or tendencies is always greatly appreciated. My preference on breeds are one's looking to get outside and have fun.

A typical day

I currently live an active lifestyle with a goal of running 10 miles per week. My route changes daily. Love to explore Iowa City and Maverick joins me quite a bit. We typically run together a couple times each week. We also enjoy walks along the trails that wind the Iowa River, swimming out a Terry Trueblood, or playing fetch at Riverfront Crossings Park.
