Availability
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.

About Ian H.
Communication
Dog skills
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.

Information Ian H. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
Dog walks: I love taking dogs to parks to go on walks when possible. Otherwise, walks around your neighborhood are typical. We make full use of our time, and I love getting good pictures to send as well. Boarding: They will be fed in the morning, pottied, and walked, before I leave for work. Then my wife will watch them during the day, pottying them regularly, playing with them, and making sure they have a blast. When I get home from work they will be pottied, fed, and walked again, and then will get an hour or more hanging out and playing on our big yard, either fetch, or playing with my dogs. Once everyone is tired we go inside for some indoor playtime and snuggles on the couch. On my days off we drive down to the park to get nice, long walks in, and lots more playtime outside in our yard as well.

Pet care experience
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.
Cat care experience
Ian also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
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!
Great fenced in area amd socializing with there dogs and cats. I recommend!! I love that they had a good time with my big dogs :)
Last minute booking while we were in-town. Made the experience easy.
