Pet care experience

Pet lover and enthusiast!🐶

I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was very little! My GSD beagle mix had a litter of puppies when I was just 12 years old. I worked alongside aiding my mom in caring for 14 puppies for about a year before we found them FURever homes🤗 Before she passed I was in charge of helping her with daily supplements for her joints… so I am able to provide care for your senior pup if necessary! I have also watched neighbors / family friends dogs (big and small)

House Sitting • Jul 03, 2026

Ian stayed at my house for two weeks. He took good care of my little Rosie and my house. He is very flexible and a very good choice for a reliable person to stay in your home. His work schedule allows him to work from home so he was with Rosie most of the time.

Drop-In Visits • Jun 15, 2026

Ian took excellent care of our two dogs while we were away. He was always punctual, sent us photos, and kept us updated throughout the entire stay, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that our dogs were well cared for and happy. We truly appreciated his professionalism, communication, and attention to detail. We would definitely trust Ian again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!

Ian is so patient with our sometimes stubborn 85 lb goldendoodle, penny! He is great in his communication and you can tell he truly loves animals. We booked Ian for sitting penny in our house and he is very trustworthy. Highly recommend booking Ian for your dog sitting needs!
