Hello there! My name is Ian, and I've been a dog walker of and on for about 7 years now. I grew up with a black lab by the name of Rocky. He and I were best friends. The kind of friendship where he was always excited to see me, go out for walks, and steal the blankets off of me at night! That's the sort of friendship I'd love to share with your dog. I'm experienced with both dog sitting and walking. Before doing either, I like to take some time to visit both you and your dog so they get used to me and vice versa. I like to try and give your pet comfort and a chance to adjust to me. For dog walking and visits, I try to be flexible with my hours. I try to show up early or right on time, if I know I am running late I make sure to call to let you know so you can adjust your schedule if need be. For house and pet sitting, I like to try and leave the house cleaner than when you left it for when you get back. If I am pet sitting, I make sure to stay with your pet throughout the day, and if I plan to do any walks for others during my time there I will make sure to inform you and talk things over to make sure your dog still gets the best treatment and care that they deserve. I'm also capable of making sure of giving them any medication that they might need as well as possible additional care. I'm hoping to meet you!
