Highlights
Pet care experience
Remote working animal lover
I was raised by animal lovers. My friends used to call my childhood home ' The Zoo'. At one point we had 8 cats, 3 dogs, 2 birds and an aquarium. And I knew all of the animals well and loved them for all of their unique personalities. I believe all animals are sweethearts and if they are ever mean it is only out of protection, necessity or past experiences. That said, I have taken care of many friends and families animals while they were away and have enjoyed doing it. With this site, I'm just working on getting even more clientele to help out!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
If you have specific instructions please type them out for me and I'll be happy to follow them. Otherwise, I plan to play with them, make sure they're fed and happy in a clean environment. My guarantee: You will come home to happy pets with an environment just as clean as when you left it
Ratings and reviews
Ian is fantastic. Trustworthy, reliable, and took great care of our pets and our home. We really appreciated the prompt and steady communication. Lots of pics while we were away to give us peace of mind. He was detail oriented, and asked all the right questions in advance to make sure everything went smoothly and seamlessly while we were away. And it did. Would definitely recommend and rebook with Ian.
Wally had another great visit with Ian!
Ian was terrific with our 3 dogs! He sent us frequent photos to keep us updated and we returned to 3 happy pups. House and yard were also well maintained and clean upon our return! Highly recommend!!! Would use again for sure. Thanks Ian!
Ian is terrific! He took great care for our fur babies and our home while we were away!
Ian was such a great sitter for Rosie. He's very easy going and I could tell how comfortable she felt with him! He followed all my detailed instructions really well and texted me with any questions. The amount of communication was perfect--lots of pictures and updates so I could see what she got up to during the day and didn't miss her too much. Rosie and I would be happy to have him back any time.
Ian took excellent care of our home and our furry boys! He sent regular updates and photos. We felt very comfortable and happy with his attention and would definitely book his services again

Schedule
Just want to throw this out there before anything else. *I only do 2 night MINIMUM stays (so if you're looking for a sitter for 2 or MORE nights we're good!) *I NEED wifi. I work remotely, which is a big part of what makes me available to do these sits. So if there's wifi issues, I can't do the sit unfortunately *I am no longer taking apartment sittings with more than one dog. Multiple dogs (up to 3) in a house is fine. Who am I? I am a remote/virtual music teacher who loves animals! If you're willing to let me teach my lessons from your couch while I watch your animals (with extra attention given before, between and after lessons), my schedule is wide open. Otherwise, I have a few days off a week where I can devote more attention to them as well- and most mornings and later nights are open too (I basically teach 4 days a week from average noon-9pm)
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsDogs over 1 year oldIan can host up to 1 pet per night
- Does your dog crave a LOT of attention (I'm looking at you puppies)? Some days I teach long hours so they'd have to be able to wait patiently for me during those times. Happy to let them out for potty breaks on my potty breaks. And I'm also totally happy to have them hang with me and cuddle during my lessons but if they need continuous one-on-one stimuli, we're not a good fit unfortunately
