Pet care experience

I’ll care for your dogs like my own

Dogs have always been in my life. I’ve had seven dogs in my family, three of whom I played a large role in raising/training as puppies. I cared for them throughout their lives, and am well adept at looking after older dogs as their needs become more nuanced. I have former pet sitting experience outside this app, which included walking, feeding (with pills), bathing, etc. If I’m taking care of your dogs, I’ll treat them like my own. In a city where there’s glass on the sidewalk, tasty looking pieces of trash, occasional sketchy people, and dogs who don’t play well with others, I’m on the lookout to keep your dog safe, happy, and well-scratched.

My senior pup is grumpy and special needs, but Ian was 100% up for the challenge and unphased. Ian is very communicative, has a great attitude, and treated both my home and my doggo with great care. Would happily hire Ian again.
