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!

About Ian D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Years of full-time experience caring for animals in clients homes. Very respectful of your rules/wishes, etc. Detail oriented so I love instructions and notes and will follow them to the letter.
Information Ian D. would like to know about your pet
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).
A typical day
I cater my services depending on what your fur baby needs. If you have an energetic dog, I can do long walks/jogs, play fetch, etc. If you have an old lazy fat cat, I'm really good at watching TV while they sit on my lap and I give them lots of lovin' haha.
