Bark Around and Find Out

I have been working with dogs professionally for 4 years, but have had dogs for many years. I also have 5 years experience owning and caring for cats, including special needs kittens. Happy to drop in or walk dogs of all sizes, and love doing cat drop ins! I have space to board medium to small dogs, and can walk any size pup. I'm happy to dispense any food or medication needed on whatever schedule is best for them.

Safety, trust & environment

Cleanliness and safety is number one. For cats, expect that I will sweep or vacuum spilled litter, clean up any messes, and give fresh water and food each check in. Same goes for dogs, as far as making sure dogs are safe and happy while in my care. If at my home, social dogs will get walks, playtime with my dogs and plenty of love. I treat guest animals as though they are my own.

Very flexible and great communication! One of my pups was struggling with a new setting and Ian was phenomenal about working with me from afar to get my pup settled. Much appreciated and we will be booking with him again in the future. Thank you!

I requested a last minute boarding when my sitter fell through, and Ian and his wife were so accommodating and great with my puppy. They were very communicative and friendly, and their own dogs were friendly and easygoing with my dog. I’d book with them again any time!

Sarah and Nicole were superb--responsive, pleasant, generous with the photo updates, and willing to play with and appreciate our precious pooch-child. Their place is well set up for dog care, with a fenced-in yard, a friendly resident companion dog, and a friendly human home almost all the time. We'll definitely be contacting them in the future!

Schedule

I work full time at a dog training facility, Saturday through Wednesday, and my wife is home full time to potty dogs or play with them outside, and i have time to do drop Ins or walks before and after work and have Thursdays and Fridays off, as well. Typically I'm able to drop in between 6-6:30am or 6pm and later on weekdays, and free availability on Thursday/Friday. Dogs boarding will be crated while I'm at work, and will get pottied before and after my shift, as well as walked, and if they are playful with other dogs will have a blast with my pack as well.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs

Ian can host up to 1 drop-in per day
I would like to know whether your dog has any reactivity issues so I can plan accordingly as far as how I handle your dog or where we go. Whether they are flight risks or escape artists, and any significant medical issues relevant while under my care. Whether they have been around other dogs, if they have issues with other dogs, etc, as well.
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.
