Avid player with pups since birth!!
Pet care experience
I'm very sensitive to a dog's cues and needs having had a pup in my life since day one. When I visit home, my 5 year old lab and I love to go for runs and play soccer (I can show you videos of his response when I ask him if he wants to play soccer). I'm happy to go for runs with your pup(s) for more structured exercise, or frolic with them in an enclosed area however they like to play. I have lots of experience training a pup to heel, sit, stay and the basics. I can even teach your pup some new, more impressive tricks and play games with them that will challenge them intellectually! I have experience catering to the needs of pups of various ages and energy levels. If your dog happens to enjoy guitar music, I'd be glad to serenade them with some classical spanish guitar (only if they ask nicely though).

Great job walking my dog! Came on time and took him for a run along the east river! Will definitely be adding him as a preferred walker!
Ian offered to take my pup for a run while I was away and fed him after. I’m so relieved to know Ian was around to take care of him. 10/10 would recommend.
Ian is an absolute life saver—and so much better than I could have hoped for! Our female Golden doodle puppy, Tahoe Circe, stayed with Ian for 4 nights and 5 days. It was her first time being apart from us AND she is being trained as a diabetic alert service dog. Not only was Ian conscientious about her training and specific needs, but she is probably better trained now for having stayed with him! She was truly cared for and treated like part of his family. When she was too nervous and shy to eat the first day, he and his kind girlfriend *hand fed* her! This is so much more—better care—than my puppy would have received from a boarding facility, no matter what VIP up charge I gave into. Ian is kind, intelligent, and truly connects to canines in a way I have rarely witnessed; I would go as far as to say he is talented at it. (Secretly I think he should be a dog trainer; he’s whisperer material). Also for two neurotic manhattanite puppy parents, terrified of ‘abandoning’ our little girl, Ian not only provided updates, but made certain to send pictures and detailed messages 2-4 times each day! My husband and I both did our graduate degrees at Cambridge University, which doesn’t ever give out high marks, and thus neither do we (a 64% was considered an A) except to Issac Newton. This in mind, I would give Ian a 110%. I will also definitely use him again. I think my little Tahoe misses him already! **See images from Ian’s pet sitting of Tahoe on instagram at mlletahoe.
Ian was great! Sent lots of pictures and detailed updates, and made sure my pup got plenty of exercise. Definitely recommend!
