I petsit outside of my full time job, so they would need to be okay on their own during the day. I leave work around 5, and would have plenty of time to spend with them to get their energy out in the evening or in the morning before I leave.

Pet care experience

I just recently moved to the Tri-Cities after a brief stint working at a winery in Napa, California last year. I am originally from Illinois and went to college in Indiana to get my Bachelors in Chemical Engineering. I have been petsitting for 6 years and have taken care animals of all shapes, sizes, and ages and will do whatever is necessary to meet your pet's needs. I am prepared to deal with all levels of energy and will take all the time needed to get to know and understand your dog. I can just come by to walk your dog or check on them when you aren't home, or I can stay with them so they are getting the constant love and care they need from the comfort and safety of their own home. I have almost always had an animal in my house, and I often prefer being around animals over people, so I am sure that your fur-friend and I will become great friends!

We had a great rover experience with Ian. Our pets seemed well cared for and happy when we got home. Kept us updated throughout our trip. Will definitely use his services again!

This was our first time using Ian, and we had a great experience. Ian came over before our trip to meet all six of our pets, which we really appreciated. We required an overnight stay due to our dogs’ separation anxiety, and Ian handled everything wonderfully. The house was kept clean, all of our pets were well cared for, and we received daily pictures of each pet. We will definitely use Ian again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
