Availability

I work from home so I have major flexibility in my schedule. I’m up at 5:15am to let the dogs out and head to the gym by 6am. Back by 7am and I’ll normally start breakfast around this time. My corporate life starts at 9am and I work on the main floor next to all of the pups or on the deck if it’s not too hot out. You’re pup will be monitored 24/7 so you can keep your mind at ease.

Information Ian K. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog need any special medication? What is there feeding schedule like? What do they enjoy and not enjoy. Is there anything you would like me to know that would make for a pleasant stay.

A typical day

Exercise outside in the yard and walks around the block. Go over the basic commands they know and try out some new ones. Make sure you they feel at home and comfortable throughout their stay. Smedley park and rosetree park are great places I normally go to but if you’d prefer they stay local that’s fine as well.

Give your pet a vacation this summer because they deserve it. Your pup will enjoy a large fenced in backyard with the door always open for sun bathing on the deck. Fresh water, toys, a shallow dog pool, and a relaxing atmosphere with plenty of dog beds to go around. I have awesome regular clients with super friendly dogs so no aggressive dogs pls. I provide daily pictures / videos to keep you updated. I can provide references too if requested.

Ian was excellent with Chloe. I was a little nervous as we were gone for a whole week and it was her first time there but she had a blast! I enjoyed getting videos and photos throughout the trip and I could tell she was being very well taken care of and having fun. I had previously only used a dog boarding facility before which was always fine but I didn’t like how they left at night until 7am. I will definitely use Ian instead in the future!

Cooper had a great time with Ian. There were lots of photos sent and Cooper was always smiling. I would definitely use Ian again.

Our pups love staying at Ian’s and we love having them there. They get lots of love and come home happy and healthy. Thanks, Ian, for providing such a wonderful home away from home for Nate and Calvin!

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.
