Ratings and reviews
Ian is our absolute favorite go-to sitter! Once again, he provided incredible care for our two dogs. Completely reliable, trustworthy, and highly recommended.
Our pups love Ian!! I cannot recommend him enough! We recently traveled out of the country and having Ian watch them gave us such peace of mind. He’s punctual and will go above and beyond to make sure our pups are happy!
Ian is my go to sitter whenever I’m out of town! He’s dependable, always patient with my suspicious and sometimes pukey cat, and provides good communication.
We’ve had the pleasure of having Ian care for our dogs once again, and as always, we couldn’t be happier. Ian is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. We especially appreciate that he goes the extra mile—not only taking great care of the boys but also cleaning up the yard after them. It’s such a thoughtful extra touch and makes coming home so much easier. We highly recommend Ian and will definitely be using him in the future!
Great as always!
Ian is quite possibly our dog’s favorite person.

Schedule
Retired military so lots of free time. I currently don't have any dogs or cats in the house and I really miss them. Volunteer at my local shelter but it's not enough to get my fix!
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsIan can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
- Over the years I have dealt with every kind of "issue" imaginable. I have worked with fearful, anxious, aggressive, strong pullers, jumpers, mouthy dogs, dog reactive, senior, health issues, you name it. I am confident in my abilities to handle it all. I only ask that you give me a heads up so I can better prepare. Also please let me know any allergies as I like to reward good behavior with high quality treats (my go-to are Happy Howie's).
