Caring and Attentive Dog Lover
Pet care experience
Dogs are at the core of my being; I’ve lived with and loved a beautiful GSD-mutt for the early parts of my life and I raised another from puppy to adulthood. I’m experienced with emergency and medical situations, having volunteered at an animal shelter in my hometown that doubled as a pet clinic. When caring for your pet, I will put their needs first and foremost, paying particular attention to the uniqueness of each animal. I am also an avid hiker (I know, unusual for Boulder, CO) who would be happy to take your furry friend on some of the area’s top outdoor walks, should you be willing. I also consider myself an amateur pet photographer, so expected high-quality pet pics from me! Thanks, Ian
Reviews
When I came home from my vacation, as soon as I walked in, I could tell my boys were well taken care of. Ian sent photos and message updates. I felt completely at ease while I was away and I highly recommend him.
Ian was terrific. He sent us a thorough daily update with photos. Our dog obviously felt quite at home with him. We would choose him again in a hot minute!
Ian was friendly and got along well with the dogs. He sent pictures each day and seemed to care for them well. Unfortunately, one of the days he was sitting, he chose to take an extra shift at work, leaving my dogs in the house for a longer time than agreed, and my dogs peed and pooped in my bedroom while he was gone. I have personally left them for up to 11 hours without this ever happening. After this incident, rather than clean up after them, he upcharged me $20 for a hat he left at my house that one of my guys apparently damaged in his upset about being left so long (my dogs have never destroyed any of my hats or other possessions), and then I got to come home and clean up the 3-day-old poop and pee. While Ian seems like a sweet kid and genuinely loves dogs, I am really disappointed in how my experience with him has gone.
Ian was so great! He was able to walk my dog with my last minute request and was a great communicator. I really appreciated his pictures and notes from their walking adventure. Thanks Ian! 5 stars!
