House Sitting • Jun 18, 2024

Ian dog sat my dog Simba for 1 week in my home. My dog Simba is an active, 30 lbs basenji. For those who are unfamiliar with the breed, they have high prey drive and are a flight risk as a result. Ian took great care of Simba with multiple walks each day and even took him outside to run. Ian sent me daily check in texts and photos, to give me peace of mind knowing that my Simba was well taken care of. Ian also left my house very clean just as I left it. He was a very respectful guest in my home and even washed and dried the bed sheets. I highly recommend Ian for anyone’s dog care needs.

Dog Walking • Aug 21, 2023

I went away for two weeks and had Ian walk our husky. Our husky is very high maintenance not to mention a flight risk. We had no worries while away and received pictures of everyday along the way as we enjoyed our trip. Highly recommend!

Ian is very caring. He is also knowledgeable of all kinds of pets, growing up with dogs, cats, rabbits, chinchillas and chickens. His awareness of their temperament is palpable. I would highly recommend Ian for any sitting, walking or overnight needs with your pets. His empathy is noticeable.

Ian is an amazing pet sitter! He took care of my 2 dogs and 2 cats for a week when I was in Europe. Ian sent me updates while I was gone and I felt confident that my babies were were cared for and loved. He walked the dogs daily and made sure that the cats received their special play time, too. I would have Ian take care of my pets anytime in the future and knowing that they were all safe at home gave me peace of mind.
