Pet care experience
Like a lot of people I have had pets all my life. So I understand how important it is to feel your pet is cared for whilst they are in my care. I have had neighbours, friends and family rely on me to watch, feed or walk their pets. Now I am on this app and enjoying the experience as one of my incomes after Severance from my previous job. Any other dog walker in the Bath area I'm looking to collaborate?
Reviews
Ian is a natural with our dog, Mo. She doesn’t rake to everyone, but seemed to really like him as soon as she met him. He came on time to the meet and greet, was communicative, punctual, responsible and did everything we asked for in the 36-hours we were out of town. Couldn’t have asked for more and really happy with the experience.
Ian and Karen leapt in at quite short notice to take care of our two elderly cats, gecko, and two mice. The Rover app doesn't allow you to add pets other than dogs or cats so the mice and gecko combo was a surprise but our sitters were absolute troopers and took the whole menagerie in their stride! All animals were very well taken of and we were sent regular photo updates. Our tomcat also received his medication twice daily. We'd definitely recommend Ian and Karen and look forward to having them back! Thank you.
Ian has been fantastic with our Finn. He has eased both of our minds by stopping in and walking Finn whilst we are both at work. He is a natural with dogs and we couldn’t be more grateful to him.
This is the second time Ian has helped with Alfie. He is very communicative and looked after Alfie exactly as I asked him to.

Safety, trust & environment
I live on the edge of Bath and there are multiple walks and parks around me. I have experience of small and large dogs, cats and other pets. I am easy going, reliable and trustworthy. I have a small van and am able travel across Bath and surrounding area, to transport to walk area and also have 'doggy day trips'. I have secure seat belt connections and room for a favourite bed or blanket. Initial meet and greet we can discuss what is required and care aspect of your pet.
Information Ian H. would like to know about your pet
Meet and greet before to meet in best environment for your pet or take you and your dog on initial walk to reassure you both I'm the right person to choose. Let me know what is important to your dog and yourself when in my care. I have good lead control and understand tone for commands to ensure a safe time with your best friend. Can take treats if appropriate and you wish to supply. Will clear any dog mess using supplied bags or can use my my stock of bags. Will pay close attention to any medical needs or diet requests. I know how important and secure you must feel with anyone looking after your pet.
A typical day
Having lived in Bath area most of my life I know the parks and walks well. Experience walking small to large dogs I will pay attention to what you tell me is good and right for your dog. Listening to what you and pet require I will give full attention to ensure a safe happy environment is maintained After initial settling period I can walk your dog to a favourite spot or if adventurous a new walk or park. If appropriate a favourite toy or ball can be brought to reassure and add a bit of normality. I can provide any dog mess bags. Day trips for something different also available. Having a ramp in the rear of my van, means your dog will easily get in if they are infirm or elderly. I have various secure points for your dog and safe transport. If you have a travel cage ample room is available. For example If desired I can take dogs on a coastal day trip. I do have a website with an example of one of my doggy day trips with my step sons dog. Half day trip to closet beach or park/woods.
